“I think every working mom probably feels
the same thing: You go through big chunks where you’re just thinking, ‘This is impossible
– oh, this is impossible.’ And then you
just keep going and keep going, and you sort of do the impossible.”
~ Tina Fey
Parents are
always relying on each other’s kindness – that whole it-takes-a-village
thing. And no one probably relies on
kindness more than the working mom, especially the traveling working mom. Imagine that you are all set for an overnight
business trip. Thankfully, this does not
require the written schedule that the previous week-long trip required. And then, just a few hours before your
flight, your babysitter tells you that her son is sick and she has to stay home
with him. Of course, you reach out to
your village and in just a few texts, arrangements are made and your three
children are taken care of. Of course,
the new arrangements come with a mid-week play date for your son, but hey…
every cloud has a silver lining. And you
are once more reminded how much you love your villagers.
