It took me three months before I can post up Twinkle’s 2 month old photos! Life has been hectic this last quarter of the year and it was mainly because of this little sweetie right here.
I have a major setback with work because I couldn’t do a lot of things inside of 24 hours. I am estimating around 10 hours of my day is spent taking care of Twinkle and 6 hours for chores and the rest of the family. That leaves me with 8 more hours of which 5-6 hours spent on sleeping. Heck, I get 2 hours of work time — three if I’m lucky.
There are no regrets, though. I consider myself lucky. I get to be there for all her firsts. I was there when she first smiled, I heard her first giggle — it was in the most un-ideal moment but I was there.
Many times I get frustrated because I couldn’t get a single thing done. Work is piling up, chores are in line, there’s a mountain of laundry. Lunch and dinner won’t cook itself, will they? Ykaie needs me too, there’s homework and projects, and exams! Hey, I’m just human and I get tired. I have backaches and heartburns. I wish the day would just end so I can finally lie in bed and get some rest.
These are trying times but I remain positive and instead I remind myself more and more that it won’t last forever.
