Sunday distractions

Describe your regular grownup selves trying to work despite Distractions

Ida working with four kids at home!!


Even though she'd managed to buy a little time by offering her four little terrors a huge plate of chocolate chip pancakes and a tall pitcher of milk, Ida still listened with bated breath for footsteps or any voices yelling out "MOM!" 

"It will take me ten years to finish the book at this rate," she thought as she typed feverishly. She still had five chapters to go, and the date marked in red on her calendar was three weeks ago. She sighed as she patted her rounded stomach to calm down the kicking in her. "Mommy has to work, so just rest a little," she chided. 

She kept the door of her study room a little ajar, just waiting for a knock or the doorbell, or the inevitable sound of someone rushing over.
