"Balance a perfectionist ideal"

I let go of the word balance in my life today! I burnt it together with the dried leaves and twigs I swept this afternoon in the side lawn. Deng! I was caught off guard by my anger again as I am trying so hard to balance my role as the mother, father, driver, nanny, tutor of my 4 year old girl. But oftentimes, she gets into me so hard that I am eaten alive. Now, I know that balance indeed doesn't exist in actual life. One way or the other you'll fall short in a role or two. Thus, today I will let things settle as they are so I may be able to go through life just like everybody else. Hah! crazy me, i should have done this long ago! Then again it's never too late to start....
