You've got to get your head in the game, girl.

I repeat this mantra over and over again as I wait for the elevator doors to open.

Finally, I hear the chime. I let out a deep sigh as I enter the elevator and push the close button.

It's been a long and confusing day. To say that my emotions have been subjected to a roller coaster ride is an understatement. I think I'm starting to lose it, and there's nothing else that I want to do right now than take a long, warm bath.

My phone starts to ring, and I grab it out of my purse. I look at the screen to see that it's Grant calling. I'm not in the proper mindset to talk to him right now. I slide the button to cancel the call, then I switch off my phone.

For a while, I bask myself in peace and quiet while I travel back home.

Lauralee's already prepared for bedtime when I arrive. I feel a twinge of mommy guilt as I wasn't able to help her with schoolwork today. I put down all of my things in one corner, then I accompany her to the kitchen to get her a glass of milk.

"How's school today? Did you do anything interesting?" I ask my daughter as I pour milk into her sparkly pink glass.

"Hmm, it's alright, I guess," she answers tentatively. "We learned about plants today. Ms. Hannah showed us a real, live sunflower plant today. It's very pretty."

"Oh, that's very interesting," I reply.

She scrunches up her little nose and looks up to me.

"I think we need to plant more flowers that would look nice," she suggests.

"Let's think about how we can do that in the coming days. That could be one of our little projects, would you like that?" I ask her.

"Yes!" Lauralee answers enthusiastically.

She gets her milk and finishes it in three chugs. She hands it back to me with a big smile of accomplishment across her face. I get the glass, put it in the sink, and then I get her hand, and we walk together towards her bedroom.

She sits on my lap as I slowly brush her hair.

"Lauralee, honey, I'm really happy that you're enjoying your time at school. If ever anything's troubling you, don't be shy to tell mommy, okay?" I remind her.

"Yes, mommy," she answers dutifully.

I tuck her into the bed, and I sit down beside her with a book in my hand. Tonight's story would be about a very hungry caterpillar. I read to her as she listens to me intently.

She starts to yawn as we near the end of the story. Her eyes are almost half-closed as we finish the book. I return the book to the shelf, turn off the lights except for her star lampshade, and kiss her on the forehead.

"Goodnight, dear, have sweet dreams," I tell her.

"Goodnight, Mommy," she replies. "I love you."

"I love you too, sweetheart," I assure her.

I quietly close the door to her bedroom as I step outside.
