I can't believe my last weekend as housewife is finally over!!
Four months of rest at home has come to an end. Actually, it's misconception that housewives are free people. During the first month, I have never been on such tight schedules and having to multi-task so much!
Cooking, tutoring, washing, etc...I think I am like a DIY person except that I am now in charge of my own household. The faitgue is tremendous at times but no matter how tired I am, there is always a sense of fulfillment that no work can replace.
The best times are when I can let time slip by and not worry about losing time cos I will be doing exactly the same thing the following day. I can practise on a daily basis and there are no bosses hovering over me, checking on me. I am my own boss in my own household.
Of course, there is always the nagging MIL, who sometimes pop by to 'spot-check' but heck it! I am enjoying my time with my children to bother with her pettiness.
I will miss taking naps with my daughter, going to the playground with my kids, cooking, etc...bascially, just being mom to them. Not that I am not a mom when I am working, I am but it always seem to be lacking esp in time. I am always trying to catch up with time. And before I know it, my kids have grown another year and it seems to whisk by mercilessly.
I can blame my husband for not allowing me to stay home but I should be thankful enough that I have been blessed with work instead. I think I can still be a good mom. Of course, the only luxury I don't have when I work is time...
It's bittersweet, really. I prayed that I will be able to fulfill my dream of being a stay home mom or at least a half day stay home mom in the next 3-4 years. If only I can stop shopping and spending and save as much as possible. But money is never enough, isn't it?
