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 P​M 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.
