Wow, this was not going where I thought it would go at the beginning of it - I was reading this as a "tortures of everyday life and trying to be everything to everyone and never having time for yourself." I've got to say, the way that you wrote this makes me fairly sympathetic, because you explicitly put in there that the child was buckled into the car, but then made me forget all about her until right at the very end. This was very fitting for the prompt; well done.
