..someone called me a superwoman the other day when i was out shopping at IKEA Tampines,apparently she was amazed that i was a stayhome mother of 2 very active boys and having no.3 on the way soon..and without a maid..i smiled at the compliment but only god knows what i go thru daily to keep my sanity in check..hahaha..pls don't get me wrong.am not whining or complaining..alhamdullilah i thank Allah everyday for the good health and rezeki i have..it has always been a doa to be a stayhome mom and wife..i have willingly devoted myself to raising my children,tending to my family's needs before mine..i have friends who have raised quite a bit of their eyebrows whenever i say that particular statement..these are of course my good pals who are quite the high fliers in their fields of careers..unlike me,they have decided that homemaking ain't their cup of tea..their kids have maids or childcares to tend to them...and they go to very expensive enrichment classes..i envy their full,heavy pockets each time payday comes..but i feel sorry for their kids having to spend most of their days in a stranger's care...but i guess every individual know what they are doing..good or bad..they eventually will learn..my priorities are my sons..their well being is at the top of my list everyday..spending abundance of quality time with them..telling them how much i love them..play time is the best..and when i have the rare chance to go out bonding with my firstborn, i do..like i did on sunday..hubby was at work,so i went over to my moms at Yishun..when Umar took his afternoon nap,i sneaked out to starbucks with Firdaus for tea..erm,coffee actually..weather was rainy and cold..we had belgian waffles and scones..and a good chat..i could really feel how my son was basking in this sole attention he was getting from me..he was grinning thru out the whole time we chilled there..and eventhough i remind myself countless of times..that he has enuff of stuff,i gave in and bought him a new optimus prime watch..i have been shopping quite a bit for my boys lately..especially Umar..clothes and clothes..what not with the sale going on all over town..duh!!..and we have been bringing them swimming a lot..to the beach and the pool..which resulted in them both catching the flu bug..for that i got an earful form the grandparents...ouch!..we have a birthday party this coming weekend which is exciting..the theme is SPORTS....i actually,went to get an Addidas red suit for Firdaus..so idiotic rite..yah i know..but mothers will be mothers..and Umar got a new pair of running shoes...like as if he will participate in the games...you see,i'm just being supportive for the dress code..hehehe..now updates on me...i'm into my 6th month of pregnancy..appetite has decreased tremendously,resulting in some weight loss recently..baby is active..moving and kicking lots..i'm very relaxed now..housework bit slacked..but i still am anal bout it..i spoiled myself with some makeup shopping..this cool brand Majorlica from Japan being sold at Watsons..has this amazing shimmer eyeshadow sets..go get em'..and just coz its sold at Watsons..dun expect em' to be cheap ok..its not..i bought the mascara too..which comes in a comb to apply not the common brush..3 stuff and i had to fork out $78..see what i mean,ain't cheap at all..i'm more careful with my spending these days..coz i know i got one more along the way...on the whole,i'm really turning into a brat..hubby is good..ever the darling sweetheart..the bestest man for me everrrrrrr....i've got my eye on a Prada wristlet and my LV neverfull still,some moneys drop from the sky magically can???...Arrrrrrrghhhhh..when am i ever gonna get over bags..i should stay away from Orchard...however,i'm still very much grateful for all the luxuries Allah has given me..so if these wants are meant to be mine,they eventually will..tomorrow,i'm gonna be in JB for a short stay..hubby says we all need a break..especially me,he wants to spoil me before the delivery..so thoughtful..motherhood really is a long journey of knowledge and sacrifices...tolerance and patience..but i know the rewards will be priceless in time to come,insyallah...how am i you ask..exhausted,tired,lack of sleep with a dull complexion to boot..eye bags and panda eyes...really tired..but i'm happy..becos these are my sacrifices and efforts to have the happy.loving family i have always wanted..till update again..goodnite my darling sons..can't wait to see your sunny smiles first thing in the morning...and i need a facial badly...period!
