Stay-at-home mom has it's ups and downs. I have my share of these things. Uppers are those moments where you can easily bond with your kids... trip to the mall after school, indulging on McDo double burger deluxe and sundae, watching them play plants and zombies; I can travel any time of the week, que se hodang Monday or Wednesday; make my groceries in the early afternoon of Monday, with me alone in the pay counter, and sometimes I forgot an item and I'll say to the cashier, "wait I'll just get another item", isn't it great?; having a Tuesday "beautification-me-day" or vanity day as my husband calls it; start reading a book in the morning and finishing it in the evening; chatting on the phone with a friend or sis like there's no tomorrow;etc.
But downers are many as well,as in waking early every weekdays, ooh, I hate this much!:-( ; ma stress sa squabbles of the kids, wait in vain to the husband who most of the time is having late night meetings or is it drinking spree?; burdened on what to cook for dinner thinking the husband will eat at home and then, realizing late that he'll have his dinner outside again for a meeting; looking for those missing school things of my forgetful son; monitoring my daughter's internet time, not checking on her will wake me early morning seeing internet connection still on...even if her school service will pick her up at 5:15 in the morning; missing my previous routine of dressing up, driving to the office and practicing my financial and accounting skills.
I made a choice two years ago.I have no regrets, but on a hindsight, I'm thinking do I have other choices back then?
