Sometimes you just need to PUT THE PHONE DOWN.
We've all experienced it. We have taken a call and immediatly the whole atmosphere begins to break down.
The cat vomits on the rug, Johnny throws a toy in the toilet AND flushes, Sally hangs onto your leg for attention, the older ones choose to have a disagreement right in your face....and YOU continue to try to sound calm and together while acting like a contortionist towards the kids. You shake your finger, throw someone into the corner, mouth out instructions etc while your face just gets redder and redder and your blood pressure skyrockets.
Sweetheart....Put the phone down. Call the person back later. It's not worth it. Face it your "job" needs your full attention. If you choose to stay on the phone you will end up possibly making some bad decisions, and saying some things that you will later wish you hadn't.
There will come a day that you will have all the time you want for the phone...it's just not today. Don't let it get to you...To this we are called..make the best of it!
Have a wonderful Christmas and email me some questions!!
