Salute To All WAHM


When I decided to become a SAHM after Chloe’s arrival, I was telling, well more to convincing myself, how difficult would it be taking care of a lil baby. I bought lots of cooking and crafts magazines naively thinking that I would have lots and lots of spare time for my passion in cooking & craft.

Well, I found out the truth the hard way. No one told me that having a baby would turn my world upside down. Well, it was slightly better with Chloe as she’s a very ‘good’ baby, but it was another story with Phoebe. Gosh, my world really tuned havoc with her. She’s breastfed exclusively, fussy, demanding and cranky and sticky. Which baby doesn’t, right?

Well, I’m returning to the working world soon but I’m opt to work from home this time. It’s never easy as I’m already facing some difficulties now. It’s never easy juggling between the girl’s never-ending demands and work. I can never concentrate on my work with the girls around. To make thing s worse, I’m maidless, meaning that I still need to attend to the never-ending chores and cooking.

I sure hope things would be better next month as the shop’s finally closing for refurbishing and KW’s gonna be at home for the next 6 months before deciding whether he wants to continue working for FIL or start his own business or perhaps helping me out with mine. Therefore, in the mean time, I’m still struggling to come out with a better working timetable.

To all WAHM out there, I really salute you. Care to share how you juggle between work & family? :)

Hmm maybe you could employ a hourly maid on weekend. House chores need to spend many time, further with you 2 lil gals.

Kerry, how's everything going for you? If you can't cope, try getting a maid. At least you can leave the house chores to her.

It isn't easy to be a WAHM.. I can be considered a WaHM in progress.. slowly moniterising my site and conducting weekend home based activities.. something which you can consider.. I'm sure you will be able to do it..
It is possible to have both kids & blogs without maid :)

Cheers
Dominique
