The prompt today is "WORKING WIFE AND MOTHER"
It's never easy being a wife and mother trying to juggle a full-time job with a family life. Our everyday schedule starts at 6:30 in the morning. My husband always takes a bath first. At 7:15, both of us should be ready for work, wake up our son to change his nappy and clothes and send him to his Aunt nanny for the whole day while I and his father are working. She lives 15 minutes ride away from us. No one will take care of our son in our small rented flat if we are at work. After sending our son to his Aunt nanny, we go directly to each other's respective works from8 AM to 4 PM and in between that schedule, I squeeze in some planning on what to cook, the budget and what is needed in our house. I cook not only for the 3 of us but it includes my brother in law (my husband's brother), his girlfriend, my sister and my husband's cousin who are staying with us. At 4:30 PM my husband fetches me at work then we head directly to Aunt nanny's house to get our son and go straight to the supermarket to buy ingredients for cooking. When I am not really in the mood to cook(most of the time but I NEED to) we just buy cooked food. Sometimes while cooking and waiting for the food to cook I wash my son's feeding bottles and do some laundry to save time. My husband does the cleaning in our room while taking care of our son. (Thank God for responsible husbands!Haha!)At 6 PM to 7 PM, we should have our dinner so the 3 of us can have some time to bond and watch our favorite tv series the good doctor starred by Freddie Highmore (I started liking him in his Bates Motel tv series)while packing my son's things to bring to Aunt nanny's house the next day. It is a lucky night for us if our very active 17-month old son sleeps at 9 PM. Most of the nights, he sleeps at 12 midnight. Just like last night, he slept at 12:30 AM and woke up vomiting because of cough at 1 AM. He drifted back to sleep at 2:30 AM.
6:30 AM Beeeeep beeeep!!
Good morning love. Your towel is ready.
Thank you @mariannewest and @improv for this.

The chicken rotisserie in Spinney's WTC is my life saver. For 15dhs, 1 chicken goes to maybe 3 meals for my kids and I. It tastes way better than Lulu's IMO. 😅😂
Hi mam @arrliinn yes, we buy that too but in Khalidiya spinneys. We tried going to WTC but my husband didnt know the parking area there. 2 manok samin yung bbq or salt and pepper flavor. Isang kainan lang. LOL.
Haha. Took me a few times before I get used to the parking in The Mall. After a year in WTC I can now navigate at the Mall parking even with eyes closed. Lol. Best to park in B2 Yellow parking. The lift will take you directly to spinneys. 😉
Di kasi kumakain si @kennyroy ng chicken so kami lang ng kids. 😅
Thanks for the tip mam. Sabihan ko si husband nito kasi malapit lang din dito sa trabaho going to WTC. Ikot kami ng ikot walang makitang pasukan. LOL.
An sarap kaya ng chicken sir @kennyroy. Parang andoks satin db mam @arrliinn? :D
Working mom ay hnd biro
Yes sir. Hirap talaga.
hard to do multitasking
Ok din sana mam kung may tumutulong like pagdating mo sa bahay may nagsaing na mga ganun. pero pati hugasan ikaw pa. :/
That is why I don't wish to be a mom because it is very tough and I really salute all the mothers for raising us like what we are today.
Hi friend. How are you?? Nakakapagod na nakakawala ng pagod friend.
being a mom is never too easy...
never mam.
no breaks... no restday...
true. like today, my son woke up at 4am and and slept 30 mins before our alarm.
that's called a multi task.
medyo gamay na sir. thank u for dropping by.
Woooah that must have been hard. Well on a single person's perpective though lol
and tiring sis but rewarding. pero sometimes, i miss having my me time. LOL
