I have been told

Today was one of those days where no matter how hard I tried, come the evening I feel like I haven't rossed off many things from my to do list. I spent a good chunk of this morning doing stuff for my husband {oh the joys of being self employed} and surprisingly my children pretty much kept themselves busy while I was at the computer {not like them at all}. My daughter had asked me to play with her a few times but seemed to understand when I said that I just had to do this important work for Daddy. Once I was away from the computer she again asked if I would play with her but I told her I would do it later because it was lunch time and I had a few jobs to do while her brother was asleep {the kind that can only be done while he is alseep}. Before I had even got the mop to the floor my daughter was already asking me if I had finished. I told her no and then she went off to play for a little bit. When I was about half way through mopping she came and asked me if I was finished and could I come and play with her. I told her no and that I had lots of jobs to do and that I was trying my hardest and going as fast as I could. She then looked at me and said, in a way that my mum used to when I had been at a twenty minute task for nearly an hour (and barely scratched the surface), "Well you are just not doing it fast enough!"
I had to laugh. I had been told.

After that she decided that if you can't beat them join them and when I finally finished the mopping she helped me with the laundry. And then we got to play.
