tired i am, exhausted i am, in pain i am
but to simply unwind, pause and stop work is just not an option here.
dream i shall then - of faraway holiday spots perhaps, or just a good lie-in at home.
should i wave my 'red flag' now?
should i quit trying to be mom-and-housewife-extraordinaire?
should i just shut both eyes to the chaos that is the state of the house (or life)?
sigh...........
it must all be worth the aches and pain,
it must all be worth the string of complaints
but seriously though,
how much longer to my end reward, my much-needed pat-on-the-back, my own special treat?

oh dear,
you poor thing!! you sound exhausted!! please don't be too hard on yourself, being pregnant and dealing with a pre-schooler would tire even a super-mom!!
don't be afraid to ask for help from your parents or in-laws, for pampering from hubby dearest or anyone for some me time...
While pregnant with Arina I tire easily and it was so hard for me to deal with Hani... made me quite depressed several times actually!! so, i know what you're going through...
if you need someone to talk to just email me nenot@hotmail.com and I'll sms you my number. I am after all just in Bkt Damansara, a mere stone's throw away from Bangsar... too bad Mom-At-Home is away, she's rather good at cheering people up!!
N'ways, this 'comment' is getting too long. Hope you feel better soon... take care...
*hugs*
Hang in there Mum!Hhhmmm...Full time mum is really challenging. I always envy of mums that can leave children to their parents, relatives for time off for themselves, or with spouse. We can't do that here..:-( Even friends also bz with their own life. If I started to get angry easily, can't cope with them 2 active boys anymore, I know it's time to get away fr it all!.. I force myself to go to shopping mall! (luckily it close at 9pm!)Leave the 2 kids with dad for 1-2hrs, have yr own time..is enough to be less stress. Luckily shopping mall is just 1-2 mins drive away..hehehe..I know how u feel, we just have to tackle this thing now and then..But after all, most of those time with our kids will be paid off.. InsyaAllah..:-)
Babe, hang in there. Don't give up, yet. The kids are worth it. Trust me. I'm always here if you need to talk or whatever. We're always on MSN, kan? So lemme know if you need any help, ok? Don't worry about things too much. They'll all fall nicely in the end. Take care. *hugz*
Mrika...suppose more hugs&kisses fr other half will make us feel much better too, esp at times like this, with haywire hormones!& heavy, bumpy tummy!:-P But after too many yrs of marriage & with kids, they tend to forget all that! Urrggghhhh!!..(Hahahaha..:-)
(Thanks 4 yr comment, being Mum is tough!..Whichever way, we gotta make it thru. We all can do it..InsyaAllah.)
Hey Mrika..
Yep, it IS very tiring. Been there just a couple of months ago but cheer up, it's worth it after all at the end of it.
Alhamdulillah when I was conceiving Harith, I didn't tire that much and the pregnancy as a whole was smooth (prob because it was the 2nd time around). What I'm trying to say is, I can understand your predicament. I had an active 2 year old running around, making a mess out of everything and the never ending Q&A sessions of just about anything. Furthermore, I was working and THAT's another story.
Don't worry too much k, Baby Z can sense your negative thoughts. All the best for the next few months to come. I'm still staying at my Mom's if you need to talk or we can always do what we do best - SMS! Teehee....
P/S: I'll be starting work next week and I can't bear leaving my babies behind. Wish I was a WAHM!
darling..take a break..dont be so hard on yourself...seriously ok...remain cool....its good for u and lil Z too..
yes, i understand how you feel.
when i first moved here, thats how i felt. the closest relative i had was my aunt, and even that, she was 1000km away.
a couple of weeks after we arrived, i gotten pregnant pulak dah. with the boxes from m'sia baru sampai, with the bad morning sickness, with my 2 boys still unsettled and with lan always away, i do feel like im the ONLY person in the world without friends or family.
i thought to myself, if i was in KL , everything would be easier. just pick up the phone and i know someone would come by or even if everyone is too busy with their lives, i know, that at least they are there.
i mean, no one in m'sia is gonna come to brisbane for a quick chat or morning coffee, even if they are not too busy.
but i guess it all takes getting use to. trust me, i wasnt sure if i could survive a week without hazlan with the boys alone, what more 2 weeks. if i was in m'sia, i dah pack my bags duduk dgn my parents dah. but over here, where could i go? what choice do i have?
thus....these are the things that i learnt. to run the house without hazlan or any one else around.
tiring yes.... exhausting yes..... but somewhere out there, there are mothers who has to go through much more terrible things alone.
at least, i do get pampered, i do get rewarded... and life isnt too shabby although it has its ups & downs....
