Am I the only mother who is forced to place such a sign on whatever locked door I choose to write behind?

Since January my husband has been graciously taking over the household for two afternoons a week so that I can give this blogging thing a little bit of my heart and soul. He has taken over homeschooling, cooking dinner, and running children to this and that.

Every morning I announce  “Dad is in charge today, I am going to spend the afternoon blogging” yet it never fails I will be just a few minutes into writing and there will be a knock on the door “Mom, where are more paper towels?” “Mom, what is for snack?” “Mom, so and so is bugging me”. To which I reply, “Where is your dad?” answer “Downstairs why?”

In an moment of pure frustration I got out my daughters green crayola marker and wrote the above sign. Now I still hear the approaching foot prints and then a second later the “Oh ya” followed by the load scream of “Dad, whats for…..” .
