Sometimes I wonder what would I be.....if I wasn't a mummy. I once had dreams too.... like having my own convertible (Oh yes, I actually like to have one very much!), having my own successful career in helping profession, touring at least half the globe, wearing my power suits and also helping the poor people in third world countries. Wow, I'm surprised with my list now as I try to recall them. The truth was I remembered my goal was to get married at 28 and have my first child only when I turn 30! Somehow, all these dreams were not realised at all!
So what am I doing currently. I'm in my T-shirts and shorts most of the time. I remember telling my hubby that I missed wearing power suits or at least being more dressed up. Then I joked about wearing them to do my house chores the next day! Hee hee that's professionalism!
This profession as a SAHM is difficult to quantify, how do u know whether u are successful? You do not have appraisal like in a coporate world. This was a question I once asked myself. But now I realised that was a silly question. I just need to know in my heart that I do my best to inculcate values and spend time during their crucial years when they need me! In reality, they NEED me when they are sad, scared, mad and glad, and these emotions usually happen 24 hrs a day. They do not hold their needs and wait only till when I knock off from work at 6pm and spend the so-called quality time during the last 2/3 hrs before they drift off to their dreamlands! From this point of view and I'm fortunate to be able to meet their emotional needs throughout the day and build this strong bonding.
Indeed my two girl have changed my life dramatically......in a very AWESOME and MEANINGFUL ways!
