Multi-tasking. We all do it and women often hear that we do it well. Lately, I have been thinking about the state of my mothering and how I can do it better. Sometimes I try to rationalize that, "I am not doing too bad", then I think, but I know I could and need to do better. Now this is no guilt party. I am just trying to "be a little better". When I saw this video this morning, even though it is not about mothering, I thought, how many times do I multi-task and not give the words of my children my full attention. There are times when that is completely impossible, but other times when I maybe chose not to, to get more done (or tuning out, heaven forbid) instead of letting my little ones feel completely heard and loved. Giving the the "best" instead of just "good". And maybe I should go "topless" a little more around my children too. Yeah, I got your attention didn't I? But watch the video and it makes un-x-rated sense.
If the video is not working, see below:

I'm passing this along to everyone I know. I am extremly guilty of this myself. We all just got laptops at work and we had our first staff meeting on monday. All the Field staff had their laptops in front of them and at some points I wondered if they were paying any attention. I didn't have my laptop but I had my palm and was constantly checking my email and facebook account. So point taken now to change thats the difficult part.
When Mike saw it, that is what he wanted to do too. I believe it may be implemented at his next meeting. It goes for at home too. So many distractions...
I'm laptop-less.... But desk top... that is another issue. LOL
