Despite me knowing that life seldom goes smoothly and something is bound to happen especially with a special son around, I was hoping today would be different. Everything was going rather well the whole day and I actually finished my official “working hours” thinking I’ve gotten a hang of this.But then, it’s was too early to celebrate and you’ll never know what can suddenly come your way.
