I admire mothers who have a successful work-life balance. Mine has been a challenge - I feel that I've been trying, too hard, that I get to screw up both. Right now I feel that had I been more present in Pot's life, she would have finished her first year in Kindergarden. If I was not busy thinking about home, work performance would have been better.
An office friend recommended that I watch "I Don't Know How She Does It." It stars Sarah Jessica Parker who portrays a working mother trying desperately to juggle marriage, children, and a high-stress job. Frankly, apart from the movie hitting home because of the oh-too-familiar scenario, I was not expecting so much.
