mommy's note : the last 'drag' to the final 24hrs (96hrs)

t.i.r.e.d
yes, that pretty much sums up my day today.

i took things slow after breakfast and even went 'silent' as i ran out of steam and energy to play, read, did flashcard, fed, clean up, soothe cries, pick up, pack up, fold back, run after (almost), pacify, reprimand, scold and even yell at mon cherie... and it is only in a matter of 3-4hrs!

i think my body had given me the signal last night but i wanted to go all the way... and today the signs of fatique and exhaustion is so obvious that my system is telling me to REST. (and though my wt is still hovering around 60kg, it's no fun doing all those energy-depleting activities while pregnant with a baby at the same time!)

yes, i badly needed rest... and glad that hb came back a little early today - asked him to help buy dinner home as i'm just not into the mood to prepare/cook dinner tonite. i dun even have the energy to 'think' of what's for dinner, let alone prepare/cook dinner. *sigh*

i guess i only want to say this... being a full-time SAHM is a TOUGH job, physically and mentally exhausting. i won't say there's no satisfaction as being with the kids and watching them grow/learn is a joy in itself... but when you're over worked and feeling tired, all these can be blind-sighted very quickly!

nevertheless, i truly take my hats off to those SAHM who has NO helper, has more than ONE child/toddler and still have time to clean house, cook lunch/dinner, and even has a hobby or two that either brings them satisfaction or additional income (cooking, baking, sewing, etc...)

so all true-blue SAHM out there... *SALUTE*... and *clap* *clap* *clap* for all the good job done 24/7!!! your kids are truly blessed!
