From Take the Cake: Grab a slice of the life you'll love
“What everyone wants from life is continuous and genuine happiness.” -Baruch Spinoza
You are up at 5 am answering email and trying to finish one last report when your sleepy-eyed toddler with tousled hair sneaks in the office looking for you. “I want a mommy cuddle,” she says sweetly, and your heart melts. You scoop her into your arms. The remainder of the morning is devoted to reading, making breakfast, and shuffling the kids off to here there and everywhere. By the time you return to your laptop, you have forgotten what you were going to say and not sure you care anyway. Your shower was a race against the clock, and your hair is in a ponytail for the fourth day in a row because frankly that is all time allows for these days. You are on a whirlwind course and while you thought you could have it all - work, kids, and partner - you doubt seriously the hubris of your folly. Who were you kidding?
