It’s the start again of another month. I am really hoping that this will be a more productive month than last month. It was unimaginable how my responsibilities as a mother to my kids and wife to my husband made me on my feet most hours of the day. That includes running around the household to finish the never-ending chores. Being outside the household makes no difference; it cannot be an escape. My multi-tasking as a grocery-shopper, driver, post woman, bill payer and a lot more makes my time everyday flies.
I think I deserve a break. But do moms really get a break? Lucky are those who can afford to get helpers at home. Oftentimes, I wonder why here in this beautiful country house helpers are not common unlike in the Philippines. Back home it is affordable to get helpers and even personal drivers. And now I am dreaming…wishful thinking. But life now is different. Things change…even the direction of lives we’re heading to. I think few years back, when destiny brought me here, my life’s direction has completely changed. A very active, responsible and extremely challenging life.
Perhaps, for now, a good mug of my favorite coffee with lots of cream will do me a favor of few minutes of break.
Such is the life of a mother. Very fulfilling, but breaks (good quality ones) are few and far between…

Hi Fedhz, chores start from 5am for me…cooking and preparing breakfast and getting hubby ready for work. Kids wake up after, give them brekky then prepare their boxed lunch, dress them up and drive them to school. That’s just the beginning of the day. I do the washing, ironing, folding of clothes myself as well as cleaning house and washing plates and cooking everyday. Housemaids are not common here although people get cleaners once or twice a month. But that cost a lot of money. I will better do things myself than spend too much. Living here is far different from the way I used to live my life there. But independence is something that I gained here and made me confident, wiser and mature in lots of ways.
