I wasn’t living my best mommy life last week. I was busy with work and projects thus I didn’t have much time with my Kyle. I’m glad that by this time, my projects are done. Now that I am having more time to spend with my child, I am getting restful and restorative sleep, and I am back to blogging. I am back to doing the things that I love!
Last week, there was a day that I had to stay at work until late at night as I was finishing a task that I couldn’t afford to leave undone. This made me feel really guilty for not spending my supposedly “home hours” with my little boy. You see, I had to call my aunt at about 8 in the evening to tell her that our helper is taking the boy to their house because there was no one to look after the him (our new attendant is on a stay-out set up). I’ve never done that before! I would usually leave my workplace on-the-dot. Feeling like a guilty mom, I processed my kid and his words melted my heart, “Don’t worry mom, I had a great time playing with Coby (his cousin). But can you play with us next time?” My child was teary-eyed to see me when I fetched him at about 10pm! Why did I do that to my kid. =( Being a working mom is really a struggle. =(
Shouldn’t it be that spending quality time with them
my priority?
Thank goodness, we will have a family trip this Friday. I have three full days to spend with my family. Since my hands were filled with work last week, I’ll make sure that they will be filled with little fingers and Alex’s big hands in the coming days.
