- My youngest son, who was a newborn at the time, peed in my hair during a diaper change. This was prior to an important business meeting and I did not have time to take another shower.
- When I had staff working out of my house, I had to manage their activities as well as my kids when school was closed. One day when my lead publicist was pitching the business editor at the LA Times, my older son insisted on showing her a picture he had drawn.
- One week, while trying to balance work and potty training my son, I had to go to the post office to pick up the mail as usual. While there, my son peed on the post office floor.
- During the first quarter of 2008, my marketing and PR firm, Bisson Barcelona, was experiencing some financial difficulties. Four clients owed me in excess of $12,000. Determined to not lay off staff, I cut my expenses by taking my son out of daycare and moved to my home office. Unable to network in person, I turned to social outlets. The Mom Entrepreneur was established within the next 30 days.
