A pair of cat ears peeks up from behind the edge of my desk. Not real
cat ears, but fabric ones attached to the headband my seven-year-old
daughter is wearing.
“Meow?” she says, staying mostly hidden.
“Is a little cat visiting me?” I ask, smiling as I continue to type the email
I’m writing.
“Meow,” she says. The cat ears disappear, and I hear her crawl around the
perimeter of my desk. Then she’s beneath my desk, rubbing up against my
legs while she performs her best purr.
“What a nice little cat,” I say, finishing up the email and hitting send. As the
message disappears from my screen, I reach down under my desk. “I
wonder if she’s ticklish.”
Amelia squeals with high-pitched giggles as I tickle her. She pops up from
beneath my desk and attacks me, her tiny hands dancing across my sides.
We laugh together as I pull her into my lap.
“Are you done with work yet, Mom?” she asks impatiently.
“Not quite. I’m sorry.”
“I want to go to the park. I need to finish counting the trees.”
“I know, honey. But we can’t go right now.” I glance at the time on my
computer. “Also, we’re going to have a visitor in about an hour,
remember?”
“Yeah. I remember.” Amelia sighs and slides off my lap. “I’m going to play
in my room.”
Guilt gnaws at me as I watch my daughter trudge out of my office. If it was
up to me, I’d drop everything and take her to the park for the rest of the
afternoon. But I can’t. I have multiple real estate clients who are relying on
me to submit offers and negotiate deals on their behalf.
Eight years ago, when I made the decision to become a mom all on my
own, I knew it was going to be tough. Parenthood is hard enough with two
people raising a kid; doing it all on my own kind of felt like a crazy choice
to willingly make.
But I knew without a doubt that I wanted to have a child,
and I didn’t want to keep waiting around for the right man to have one with.
And so I made the doctor’s appointment. I went through the donor selection
process. I dealt with the morning sickness, the bloating, the leg cramps, the
indigestion. I pushed through the excruciating pain of labor. And then she
was finally here, my sweet little Amelia, all wrinkly and wailing and
perfect.
For these first seven years of her life, I’ve made it work. I’ve given her the
best life I can while also working full-time. But this summer is different
than the previous ones. Between summer camp, swimming lessons, and art
classes, the next few months of Amelia’s life are absolutely jam-packed.
And with the local housing market the way it is right now, I’m swamped
with work.
