The Fine Balancing Act

Snapped a picture which I thought illustrated the fine balancing act between family, work and all other matters in life.

In the background of the picture, Queenie and Treasure are joyously playing around some water fountains. In the foreground, a lady is delicately performing a balancing act.

I felt the lady was like me, except she is a whole lot skinnier. I try to do my best at work. I try to do my best for the kids. And it can get really tiring. Worst part - you never know if you have done enough. 

Lest I come across as an extremely hardworking and conscientious woman, the reality is further from this. But I do try my best. I try to think of the fastest and most effective way to get the most done without putting in too much effort. I sure put in a lot of effort here to justify my slackness.
