It's been three years since I brought forth my first ever "creation." (Of course, 50% of that was my husband's.)
As a mother of a three-year old, I came to a new phase in my life where I am learning that sacrifice isn't a choice but a cause. A clear sense of purpose has now been set out in front of me.
Now that I am a mother...
1. I learned that each second, minute and hour counts
2. A Saturday can be an eventful day - from going to the market at 5:00AM to running chores until 9:00PM
3. You'll learn to trade off that nice pretty shoes for your child's toy
4. You'd rather pass off a parlor appointment to play with your kids
5. You'll learn to plan and cook a super menu - from breakfast to dinner, all week.
6. Your leaves at the office will be depleted, not because you want to spend time for yourself but because somebody needs your time
7. You need to be a one-man team - housecleaning, cooking, bathing the kids done all at the same time
8. You'd enjoy even a single hour when the family's asleep and you can sit down for a cup of coffee
9. You'd hate but still live with the flabs forming around your belly
10. You'll seldom take time off for yourself but once you did, it'll be a celebration!
11. Oh... and you still need to mother your spouse with 100% love and attention
Sounds hard?
Nope, not when you are enjoying it so much.
You trade off your time and energy and you get it all back from a little child who hugs, kisses and says "Happy Mother's Day, mommy! I love you."
