Weekends oh weekends!

Why is it that weekends past by so quickly compared to the rest of the days? Just when I'm beginning to wind down and relax, it's Monday all over again. Haiz. As a housewife, I truly look forward to the arrival of weekends. Not that I'm not enjoying the rest of my days. Hehe. I know some may envy a SAHM like me, not having to go through stress at work, stress of squeezing into a public transport just so that one can reach their workplace on time. And I know there are many, many more stresses that you people out there are experiencing right now. And yes, I understand how it's like to be in a work force. So, although I do complain about it, I am, no doubt, glad and blessed to be a housewife or what some may assume us to be - A Tai-tai! (believe me, it's NOT!!!) 

My current life is like a routine, doing almost the same thing at the same time every single day... I do get stressed, but over a slightly different issue - my kids. School starts at 8.30am everyday, and 1.5 hours is never enough to get my 2 rascals ready. Up at 7 and the first thing they did was to take a shower. A quarter after 7 and they are seated at their dining area, having their breakfast. An hour later, they are STILL seated there, struggling to finish up their tiny bowl of cereal, or a slice of Nutella bread, or even a small packet of Rice Krispies. Due to this, we usually only manage to reach class just when every other parents are leaving. And that's definitely not the end of it. If I were to list down all that I had to do on a daily basis, this entry will be an extra long one!

So, if you were to ask me, I would say every job has its ups and downs, whether you're a career woman or a housewife! That is why weekends are really sought after by every living soul. :)
