This year has started with a big bang for me!

As a stay-at-home mom for 4 years now, I was stacked at home looking after the kids and doing the endless house chores every day. The big news is, my kids started to go to kindie 3 days in a week on January 5! I was alone at home all by myself. That was the first time I was left at home alone. Although there were still lots of things to do in the house and errands to run, I felt like I am starting to redeem the freedom that I used to enjoy. I also felt like the old me is coming back.

After I dropped the kids to kindie (day care) on their first day together there and talked to their carers and teachers at 8:30am, I went back home and prepared a mug of coffee and a slice of panettone (Italian cake). I sat on the lounge, took the television remote and turned the box on. Wow! I haven’t felt that relaxed for a long time. I switched to the channel which I love watching and spent 1 hour sitting there, watching and eating my breakfast at the same time.

After the breakfast, it was time to start the ball rolling again doing house chores and everything at home. I spent less time with my computer though which made me feel I wanted the day to go beyond just 24 hours.

Oh well, I know that I will be able to catch up with all the cleaning and organizing I have to do at home, maybe in a couple of weeks time. I can’t wait for the kids to go to kindie again, lol! I miss them a lot though when I am alone at home.

Now that I have more time for myself, I have come up with lots of plans on how to improve myself more physically, mentally, spiritually, financially…and planning to take up an online course on Child Care & Nutrition…

I hope that this post gives inspiration and hint to all stay-at-home moms like me. Stay happy.
