If you are a mom, you’ll understand quickly what my title
means. We may think about the same things, such as me time, helpful husbands,
and stuff. You may think of technology like smartphone and household
appliances.
After more than a month living a life as a stay-at-home mom,
I can feel every second and think clearly about what I do every day (if we
work, time runs faster and we can barely digest what happened that day). Then, I
feel so grateful for my life. The gratitude sometimes comes from things we didn’t
notice because it’s so simple.
For me, here are the things:
1. I
wake up early but my son wakes up later than I do
If I woke
up at 5 (or earlier), I can do aerobic for 20 minutes, do my laundry, prepare
something for breakfast, do the dishes –if there’s any. No, I don’t really
sweep and mop unless the floor really needs it. After all is done, my son wakes
up and I’m ready for him. Yeayyy…!
2. My son takes a bath and has breakfast
without any quarrel.
Well, this
is what I’m struggling with every day: asking him to take a bath and eat, and
takes a nap. A good day means, he agrees to take a bath without I’m persuading
him more than 15 minutes. Sometimes I use reward like gummy candies and it
works for most of the time.
3. Help from husband
This can
means: tidy up the bed, accompany our son when I’m so busy in the kitchen, or
buy food if I’m too tired to cook. Anything I requested.
4. Washing machine, sun rays, and softener
I can’t
explain why I love this combination and put them inside this list. It’s just
washing, for God sake. For me, do the laundry using a washing machine and smell
the fragrant of the detergent and the softener is really relaxing. I like to
buy small sachet because I like to change the fragrant whenever I want. Don’t forget
the sun rays. I become even more happier if all the laundry completely dry
before Ashar. Yeayyy again…!
Well, it is simple right? I reconsidered to change the title
Moms into “I”, but then I thought maybe some moms out there feel the same way.
What about you? You can
