I was right in the middle of watching American Idol and my stomach began cramping. I thought it must be a gassy tummy and assumed it’d go away shortly.

I had a very important list of tasks for the business that needed to be done the following day, but they all had to be chucked out the window. I couldn’t focus or tap into my creativity with all the doubling over pain.
I called one of my babysitters to come over that night to help with the kids because my mate was working late. Thirty minutes before her scheduled arrival time, she had to cancel. I wanted to cry. I called the rest of my tribe for help and they were all unavailable. There was only one thing left to do … make peace with my situation.
Keep in mind that I have a three year-old who never stops talking and a one year-old whose main mission is to climb up to high places and try to escape out of the house.
