Even in Timbuktu


I think the most difficult thing to deal with, being a working mother, is these moments when you feel like you are not good at any of your jobs. The lack of sleep impacts on your work performance and the work performance impacts on your capacity to mother in the way that you want to. And so you are left feeling like you are only catching a tiny number of the balls that are being thrown at you.

Oh well, some days are like that, even in Timbuktu.

So very true! Funny reference as I grew up in the US and Alexander refers to Australia, not Timbuktu, in the American version. And yeah it happens even here! Eliza
