Mini Me
I found Kate sitting on the sofa in the TV room with her electronic Go, Diego, Go! game. "Hey, Kate, it's time to come to dinner." I said. She looked up at me slowly with a sort of pleading expression. Big. Sigh. "I'm trying to get some work done!" she said.
This reminder that I sometimes forgo quality fun time with my kids in favor of working made the fact that I fully intended to get some work done at the table while the girls were eating a bit awkward. But I did it anyway.

Is the Harry Chapin song following you around now?
When I'm tempted to work at home I ask myself, "What, exactly, needs to be done?" Usually the answer involves making some kind of list, answering somebody's BS email, or, well, that's about it. So I don't. Instead we do something like go to the zoo and watch the other animals try to get some work done.
Modeling unperfect behavior is just part and parcel of being a modern-day mom. You absolutely get a point for working through dinner after Kate's Kabuki Theatre though.
Oh yeah. I'll give you a point for that. :) Ahem, since I NEVER do that myself. Tee hee.
