Sundays are supposed to be "family days". So here I am watching my daughter Naya practice with her classmates their field demonstration for next week. My husband is with our Baby Oyen at Bacolod Capitol Lagoon having their "Boys' Day Out". Later, after Naya's practice, I hope the kids would not be too tired yet so that we can have our whole family bonding at the mall.
I was hoping I could have my day-off today. It's difficult to juggle mummy duties, online job, business to attend to, and school. Sleep hours are limited to 3 to 5 hours a day. Last week was definitely a zombie week. I think, if I'll have a blood chemistry test today, caffeine would be about 40% of my blood component. Buhuhuhu...
But then, I should stop complaining. I SHOULD NOT complain because all these are results of my choices. I chose to accept this online job (which surprisingly I am enjoying every bit of it). I chose to enroll in the Teacher Certificate program this semester (and thank God, the semester is about to end). And definitely, I chose to be a mum.
Although I work, I can afford to stay at home most of the time because of the nature of my job. But if you are a mum and you work at home, mummy duties always compete with work time. And with deadlines to beat (and work reputation to protect), I either sacrifice time with kids or time for sleep. I chose the latter.
Now, don't ask me again if that's smudged eyeliner under my eyes.
That's why, I chose not to have a day-off today. My daughter needs me today. And so, while she is practicing her dance, I am busy writing this post. And of course, working on our "Learning Object" project on family planning.
Talk about multi-tasking.
HAVE A BLESSED SUNDAY EVERYONE!
