I missed you. Yes, even if it's just for a week.
So even if I'm dead tired already and in 29 minutes it will already be Saturday, I will still spend a few minutes with you.
It has been a busy week. I am back to the grind.
It just amazes me when I think of how things fell into place.
Truly, God answers our prayers, all we have to do is just to be patient. Yes I know, it's easier said than done.
When hubby and I decided that I'll be going back to work this school year, and the kids will be attending daycare, the first question that we needed to answer was: when? When will the two of them start with daycare?
Two weeks after Liam and Sam attended childcare (twice a week), I had my first call.
Amazing, right? They had enough time to get used to me leaving them there. They are still adjusting, especially Liam, some days they are upset when I leave them at the centre. But I know, eventually, they'll get used to it.
It was an exhausting first day for me.
I had to wake up really early so I can drop off the kids to my friend Vera, who came to our rescue after a glitch in the casual set-up with the kids' daycare.It was a bit tiring to drive to and from Vera's place and the school, then back home. But I had no choice. Still, very thankful for that help.
After a year of maternity leave, I'm really back to work.
I've been getting a lot of casual calls now. I'm even booked for next week!
I can't believe that things are getting a bit busy for me.
After work, I pick up the kids from daycare. When we get home, I take care of them and prepare our meals. I clean and prepare the kids for sleep and prepare for tomorrow's work.
On "free days" I try to do as much chores because they are starting to pile up.
I also have to address my concerns of Liam's not-so-pleasant reaction whenever I leave him at daycare. When I don't have work, I make-it up to them by not doing house chores, except cooking, so we can have quantity and quality time.
Busy as a bee? You bet!
Now I really see myself in the shoes of Sarah Jessica Parker in the movie: "How Does She Do it?"
Not to mention that I had this great idea of pursuing my dreams of putting up a pre-school or childcare when I retire (I've had that dream since I was back in Manila, that is why I pursued a Master's degree on Educational Administration). So I'm seriously thinking of pursuing another degree to prepare me for that day. Will write a different blog on this.
Back to the topic.
Too many balls to juggle? You bet!
I am thankful, just thankful, prayers have been answered and He continues to answer them.
I am definitely back to the grind.
But I am not complaining.
At the end of the day, all these tiredness only mean that I have been blessed to have something to be tired about. At the end of the day, all of these are answered prayers. Blessings.
I'm loving the fact that I am back to the grind.
