I am so sorry for you, Sydnee does that to me when I am working.
I own a design company and she constantly wants attention. However, since she became a month older she has learned the art of chilling out. She gets worn out with chasing the cats and them using her as a soccer ball also.
I understand about putting them in a carrier I hate it also. Good luck on finishing the paper though. You could possibly teach him to type and he could help. Wasn't it in Legally Blonde 2 where she taught her baby to shop online. LOL
