As I hurry across the parking lot, the afternoon sun beats down on me. It’s
a hot September day, and beads of sweat are already forming along my
hairline.
I’ve just come from another fruitless job interview, the third this week.
Being a stay-at-home mom has left a significant gap in my resume, making
it harder to re-enter the workforce, especially with my unwavering
commitment to being there for Maya.
I’ve turned down several promising opportunities because the hours were
too long.
Derek’s late nights at the office have become more frequent, leaving me to
handle the daily pickups. It’s been happening so often that it’s now more of
a routine than an exception.
An hour ago, he sent a message saying he couldn’t get Maya, even though
he’d promised he would. Meaning I had to cancel another interview.
I tighten the knot, holding my unruly curls, and quicken my pace toward the
elementary school.
My daughter Maya will be waiting for me, and I can’t bear the thought of
her sweet face falling when I’m late to pick her up.
The air-conditioned building provides relief from the sweltering heat. The
familiar sight of the daycare’s glass door reveals Maya, my five-year-old
dynamo, swinging it open.
She squeals, “Mommy!” as her curly hair bounces and she crashes into my
arms.
Maya’s exuberance brightens my day. The lines around my eyes crinkle
with warmth and affection for my little girl.
“Hey, baby,” I say, smoothing her unruly hair like mine. “Did you have a
good day?”
Maya nods eagerly, her green eyes shining as she recounts her day. “Miss
Emma said I was the best finger painter in the whole class!”
When she gets going, she can talk a mile a minute. I listen contently,
periodically injecting an “uh-huh” or “wow” to show I’m paying attention.
My mind briefly drifts to Derek working late again.
At least I can always count on being here for Maya. Derek keeps pushing
me to find a job, saying it’s for the little extras, but I believe she comes first.
And with him being so unreliable, it’s even more critical for me to be
around for our daughter to provide the stability and consistency she needs.
“That’s amazing! This calls for a celebration. How about we go get some
ice cream?”
“Yeah!” Maya cheers, pumping her fists in the air. Her enthusiasm is
contagious, and I find myself smiling despite the tiredness creeping in.
Our stop at the local ice cream shop downtown is a blur of laughter and
sticky fingers. Maya’s giggles fill the air as she devours her triple-scoop
sundae.
