Painting your nails

Painting your nails is a tricky art form when your a mother. Your children could be blocks away happily playing with friends, yet the moment you open your nail polish, they are at your feet needing something.

I find this strange phenomenon happens when you need to make a phone call also. Everyone is involved in something. You sneak away to privately call a friend, instantly everyone needs something or is fighting and you have to referee.

Really - there should be a good way to harness this craziness. For now though - a good lock on the bathroom door should give you the privacy you crave.
