All in a Days Work

As a wife, a Mom of two, a student, couponer, and a blogger makes it really hard to manage to juggle all the household chores. You have to wake up early to prepare breakfast for the student and little one and then drop student to school. Do the cleaning when I get back and bathe the little one, prepare lunch, check emails, log-in to school platform and check for instructors emails, do a little reading and assignments, check store deals and match-ups, clip coupons, facebook and before I know it, it's time to pick-up the student.

With all the things that we do to run the house as smooth as possible while our husbands/partners are making the dough, I am so thankful that cooking or baking can be less stressful. I am so glad that if the kids want some cupcakes or cookies we have those ready to bake goodies in a box that can be done in minutes. I know it is easier to just buy cupcakes in the store but making your own is less expensive and it really won't take a whole lot of time.

My downtime from all the housework will be after the kids have their lunch. I can sit a little longer in the computer and do more work. But from time to time kids are bothering me. They want something every single time. Concentration is divided until you have to get up and go to the kitchen to prepare dinner. The most that I can do with respect to my school work without interruption will be at night when everybody is asleep.

I guess, somehow Moms are so adaptable to whatever the situation is. For me, even though the amount of work is piling up but I still manage to keep the house clean, kids cleaned and fed on time, do errands, teach the kids, do school work even if at times it goes to the back burner, as well as do things I like to do blogging, facebooking, and meet my friends to do playdate with kids. The latter will be my outlet to refresh and relax and just enjoy without worrying all the work that I do in a day. It is tough but it is fulfilling in every way.
