Top Tip for Working Mums

Recently I received one of those e-mails that had been forwarded by a friend. With over 100 e-mails coming in every day, I usually delete them immediately as most of them are jokes. For some reason however, I opened this one and I just knew I was being reminded by the universe...I just had to share it with you because us working/business owning mums need to be reminded occasionally.

Here it is:

A small child asked his mother at the end of her long day how much she earned per hour. She was tired and his question made her cross, but she said $50. He then asked if he might borrow $25 from her. This made her very cross and she sent him upstairs to think about it. After she had calmed down, she went up and relented, offering him $25. This was his reaction:

“Oh, thank you Mummy!” he yelled. He reached under his pillow and pulled out some crumpled up bills.

‘Why do you want more money if you already have some?’ his mother asked, exasperated.

“Because I didn’t have enough, but now I do,” he replied. “Mummy, I have $50 now. Please can I buy an hour of your time?”

Please don't forget what is most important. S/he is probably in front of the TV right now. Go find them and give them what they want the most - YOU.

Have a lovely weekend everyone.
