I'm not just a mother... I'm a working mother....

Being a mother is the greatest gift from God... It's the most hardest & dignified jobs for any other women. I was blessed with 2 angels my Justine Nicola ( 9 y/o) & my Justin Venz (1 y/o). It took us almost 9 years to have our little boy. In that 9 years we have been working abroad for almost 5 years & once a year I had my vacation to Philippines to be with my daughter for a maximum of 30 days, by that time she is staying with my Nanay dear... For that 5 years I had a very easy life, from work I used to have a lot of time to rest, facebooking, surfing the net etc.... Because, I have only one baby with me here in Kuwait, my hubby hehehe.
My Nanay & her grandchildren... We're very lucky for her & we love her sooo..
But now we have decided to bring our angels here in Kuwait, it was really a tough decision yet the best decision we've made because being with our kids is the most happiest moment here in Kuwait... They're presence, smile, laughs, spoiled brats, everything relieves the tiredness & sleepless nights I have been through since they came here ;-). As saying says; "Our children needs our presence not out presents." ;-)

My angels...
It was really a big big adjustment for me & for my hubby as well when we brought our kids here. First, we have difficulty in searching for a baby sitter because of the police checking for illegal expats here in Kuwait that most of the babysitters where illegals ;-). In the morning I have to prepare everything for my baby boy (milk, feeding bottles, food, diapers, etc...) before my hubby will drop him to the babysitter. Also, I have to prepare food for my baby girl who will just be staying at home... Once everything is prepared, its my turn to to prepare myself going to work hehehe (at least I have a time for myself)... 
Weekend bonding with kiddos
After work I have to prepare food for dinner & have to get my child to the babysitter (in case my husband is late from work), do some house cleaning, washing the feeding bottles, etc.... Take note, washing & ironing still not part of it lol!!! Before going to bed I have to make a baby shower or sponge bath for my baby boy & remind my baby girl to do the same. With the daily chores that I should be used to it for my kiddos here in Kuwait. With my situation now, working mom w/o a stay-in housemaid -  I may say I am a super mom.... And I salute all mothers especially my Nanay (Mother)  who never stop being a mother to us up to now.

My simple family...
Well, I hope I can still managed the tough & happy life I have for now... I don't ask for a perfect life because there is no such a perfect life  but I just ask to God to give me more strength, good health, courage, & strong faith in him to be the perfect mother to my kids & trying to be a good wife to my hubby....

"I love my simple life, living with God with my simple family ;-)"
