And I have officially been sucked into the monotony of a
working mom’s life. J
Definitely need an outlet that allows me to pause, and live
in the moment (However clichéd that sounds!) There have been moments, but not
all have been exactly the ones I have aspired for, leaving behind an insatiable
hunger for more in life. So it is time to pause, reflect, speak out and
hopefully incorporate some changes.
Some moments from my life now.
OMG moment every single time I think about it: I am a mom of a middle schooler! And a middle
school girl at that! Yes, that means hormones, independence, lots of homework,
peer pressure, attitude and did I mention hormones?
Where did my baby go moment:
My baby is now a first grader! Who leaves my hands as soon as she
notices a friend, no longer brings me books to read to her, no longer thinks
breaking into impromptu songs is cool, is emerging out to be her own self and
no longer a shadow of me.
What has been your favorite date night moment: GULP! We are so
zapped out of energy by the night that there is a struggle to even remember the
date.
How many years of work experience question moment: Counting on my fingers as I struggle hard to
get the number, which eventually does not match the strands of gray hair
peeking out from my head. The “I errr.. took a break for a few years”
explanation, never fails to bring out the weirdest of expressions in people.
How do I say no moment: I have still not been able to master
the art of saying no. The days that I do decide I will say no the next day, I
chastise myself so much and even get dreams of having gone to the dark side
that I wake up and say YES.
