Being a career oriented woman my world turned upside down when I and my husband decided that I should quit my job after the arrival of our second baby. Doing household chores is not new to me, but with a bubbly 3 years old son and a needy newborn is something that I have to look unto. It's a mixed emotions of fear, of not being able to attend their needs immediately and excitement, for being able to watch their milestones.
As much as I want to be organize, the list and schedule that I made were not followed. But as the day passes by I get to established a routine for the chores, for my kids and husband, and for my ''me'' time.
My everyday routine:
6:30am - wake up and transfer my baby to a cradle
- cook rice (for lunch and dinner)
- eat breakfast (most of the time coffee and bread)
- set up the washer for laundry (done twice a week)
- clean the house (sweeping the floor and
wiping furniture's)
8:00 - wake up time of my youngest son, have to breastfeed him then transferred to his crib once finished
(took us about 15 minutes of breastfeeding )
-cook for my eldest son's breakfast
8:30 - wake up time of my eldest son
- prepares his food and drink
- wash the dishes
9:00 - bath time of my youngest son
- prepares food to cook for lunch
10:30 - sleeping time of my youngest son
- bath time of my eldest
- cook for lunch (Until dinner)
12:00 - Lunchtime
- breastfeeding my newborn.
When my husband arrives at 2:00 pm from work, there I can have my me time - taking a bath, surfing online etc.
Stay at home mom really is a difficult task but is fulfilling and rewarding job.
