We all have those weeks, don’t we? The ones that feel like a never-ending sprint, leaving us completely drained. Just this past week, my carefully curated work to-do list was quickly derailed by a series of unexpected events: sick childcare, an exciting but time-consuming school field trip, my husband working long shifts, and then, to top it all off, my little one falling ill, leading to multiple days home from school. It’s safe to say, I’m utterly exhausted, and despite the whirlwind, it felt like hardly anything on my original list actually got accomplished.
