316 Juggling It All

(Winona)

It’s morning, and the house is in full chaos mode, as usual. Henry’s just gone down for a nap. Anne is on the school run.

The kitchen is a mess. Breakfast dishes still on the counter, toys scattered across the floor. I glance at the clock and realize I’ve got about an hour before I need to be at the office.

Beth will be here by then for Henry. Anne will pick up some groceries before getting back.

Henry was more restless than usual, and I’m exhausted from being up with him most of the night. My body aches, and a dull headache has been lingering for the past few days.

I hope everything is going okay for Jayden. He’s over there with no one he knows.

As I move around, picking up toys and mentally running through my work to-do list, I can’t help but think about everything piling up. I love my business—creating it from the ground up has been one of my biggest achievements.

But lately, I’ve been thinking if it’s really what I want to keep doing right now.

Henry is always on my mind.
