Wonder Woman

I feel like a Wonder Woman today.

6am - Woke up, ready for work.
630am - Mia's up wanting milk. Packed her bag (breakfast, lunch and snacks) for daycare. Daddy changes her nappy.
7am - Pile everyone up and off to daycare/work. Battle traffic.
8am - Reach daycare/work.
9 - 6pm - At work.
6pm - Quick shop for tonight's dinner. Pick up Mia. Battle traffic.
8pm - Reach home. Cook rice. Daddy changes Mia and keep her entertained while Mommy changes and cook dinner (ayam masak merah yum!).
830pm - Put Mia to bed.
9pm - Dinner and ME time!!
10pm - Usually too sleepy to be awake.

And tomorrow continues.
Not to mention there's 2 bags of unfolded laundry, messy floor with toys, dishes in the kitchen and that tantrums toddlers have ONLY when you're-busy-doing-something to deal with.

Nevertheless, I love my crazy days. By the end of the day - leaves me feeling fulfilled, satisfied and fully aware that I've exercised my role as a wife and mommy. Don't talk to me about multiple kids yet. I'm not ready definitely.

So for those with maids/helpers/living with extended families, I think they're somewhat lucky with a little less load in their hands. I'd love to just stay with my parents but I prefer so much to live by myself. Don't get me wrong, I love my parents but I also love my independence. Makes me appreciate and value myself and my lil nuclear family even more.

Plus, with hectic days like these, who needs exercise? =)

Those single moms living with their child/children in a household with no maids/helpers/extended families, I salute you. I don't know how you do it, but you are certainly heroes. Hats off to you, definitely.
