Supermom? YES, Superwoman: NO
It’s been more than a year since I last posted here… And I was really serious back then to fill my hours with anything I can do. Funny me. For the record, I was really busy. I tried to get back to school through a review class. I was promoted Account Manager in a part time business. Me and my sister expanded the business due to increase in demand. Ichiro’s running for Academic Achievement Award. Jiro’s getting more hyperactive. And through all of these I’m still employed, meaning I am awake at night to work while struggling to do all the other activities in the morning. And yes, I’ve felt it’s toll on my body. I got sick, I’m always tired, I’m haggard. Yaiks!!! really.
After all these I realized, I’m a supermom. But yes, not a superwoman. I’m good with juggling responsibilities and time but I don’t have super powers to keep my body in full function without proper rest. I would always make ends meet but in exchange, it’s ripping my body apart. I would always feel a sense of achievement after every task done but I still think I miss something. And that something spells like F-U-N.
So last summer we had a blast on every family activity. We went swimming twice. We visited Avilon Zoo. Ichiro joined Jollibee Kiddie Scout workshop. Jiro attended trial class. Malling and bonding at home every rest days. I felt alive and human again. Feels good to have rested well and spent time with love ones.
And that’s the reason why I’m on pacing mode these days. I’m enjoying every moment with my kids and savoring each day with gratefulness. Thank you Lord.
