When Percy and I got married, I never thought of becoming a fulltime mom. BUT.. when we were blessed with our baby Annika, everything’s change. I wanted to see my baby grow, be beside her everytime, and witness and watch her milestones. Plus, I’m a breastfeeding mom so it’s hard for me to be far from my baby. In order to take care of our baby girl, I resigned from work with the blessing of my husband.
The responsibility of being a fulltime homemaker and a mother is no joke, it’s hard, very hard.. harder than anything I have ever done in my life. 😋 My plate is now overflowing with things to do, from the moment I opened my eyes until I fell asleep. I wore so many crowns of responsiblities and multi tasking is always the key. My day-to-day task is composed of cooking/preparing our food, washing the clothes, bathing my baby, cleaning and planning of ways to tidy up our house and most of all taking care of Annika. Now I understand why my mother works (at home) non-stop as if the tasks never ends.. since I am wearing the same shoes as hers. I’m a certified OC mom. I don’t want mess and I want everything in it’s proper places. And having a toddler at home is a challenge, toys and mess are everywherand and so I also works non stop. 😂

I sometimes feel depressed and exhausted, working for more than eight hours a day, where is sleep deprived, and still has a long list of things to do, especially when Annika keeps bothering me while I am busy doing something. That’s the time when a monster mommy in me always comes out. Haha! I got mad, I’m guilty of that. But I know, she just wanted someone to play with.😊
With prayers, motivation from hubby, and humility, I began to realize that motherhood is really about sacrifice. The labor of love is more important more than anything else. I may not enjoy a hot cup of coffee, rarely enjoy a shower and I may not have enough me time, but I do ensure that food is ready during mealtimes, that they have neat clothes to wear, and that their love tank is always full. Having the opportunity to be with my family 24/7 is truly a blessing. No matter how tired I was from working at home, with just the unlimited hugs and kisses from hubby and baby, all is well. 😊
So yes, this is the crazy path of a fulltime mom. 😁
Very Blessed,
Very Blessed,
