This close!

A working mom is this far from quitting everyday.

When her kid wanted to snuggle more before getting up from cosy bed.

When her kid didn't like that sunny side up as it turned a bit too salty.

When her kid didn't want to bath as apparently it was a rainy day.

When her kid didn't like her online class when teacher didn't call her name.

When her kid couldn't decide behind an afternoon nap, a TV cartoon and a chocolate shake.

When her kid just doesn't know what she wants.

When her kid is happy with her dad and mom is always an emotional dump yard.

That working mom is that inch close to quitting.

However,

She chooses to snuggle more and finished her breakfast fast to be on time for her scrum.

She puts some cheese to mellow the salt in that sunny side up while she put forth a sunny smile during review meeting.

She sets the water temperature for bathing time right while setting her work deliverables?right.

She just listened calmly to her kid while she was rated alpha by her team mate too on her impeccable listening skills.

She is now this inch close to winning this day and this she does everyday.

No wonder she is honest, empathetic and a great listener.

But remember she was this close to quitting on that day.

Cheers to all moms, working or SAHM as we are doing our best everyday, day after day! ??
