I get out of the pool after a workout and look on my BlackBerry to see if the nanny called and to make sure everything's okay. My child is always on my mind.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I'm a mom, a full-time mom when I'm not taping. I do the carpool thing, and bake the cookies, and do the homework.
I am endlessly busy, bringing up five young kids, and trying to keep up with the three older ones. I still spend most of my life driving car pools.
As soon as I get bored, I start missing the kids, so I don't let myself get bored. I just go surfing.
I surf - that's the one thing I make time to do. I definitely surf a lot, but when you're working 15 hour days... all I want to do is get home to my baby.
I have to go... drop some kids in the pool.
When I'm not working on the ground, spending time with my husband and daughter puts me at ease.
I go to my grandchildren. They keep their grandpa informed on what's going on.
It is painful to watch children trying to show off for parents who are engrossed in their cell phones. Children are nostalgic for the 'good old days' when parents used to read to them without the cell phone by their side or watch football games or Disney movies without having the BlackBerry handy.
I have a little bit of an addiction to work. So I'm always hiding in the bathroom with my Blackberry to work when I'm on holiday.
I'm happiest when I'm with my daughter and I don't have any distractions with my phone going off.
