Excerpt from "Motherhood is Application"
The days of a busy mother are made up of millions of transformations. Dirty children become clean, the hungry child is fed, the tired child sleeping. Almost every task a mother performs in the course of a normal day could be considered a transformation. Disorder to order, dirty clothes to clean, unhappy children to peaceful, empty fridge to full. Every day we fight against disorder, filth, starvation and lawlessness, and some days we might almost succeed. And then, while we sleep, everything unravels and we start again in the morning --transforming.
