Time

The last week was very tiring for me. It was a test of wills, strength and patience.

I was on duty for one whole week. Duty at work. Mind you, it was only my 3rd week. I had to wake up early to go to work, and come back home, dead tired. I can only eatmy dinner, watch a little of my fave soaps (di pa rin pinatawad) and do a little ekek.I don't even see Bebi A awake. One night, I called home and talked to Dawter T, she saidshe will wait for me but as I rushed inside our room, I saw her sprawled and sleeping in ourbed. It was so disheartening. The two joys in my life were already sleeping and not ableto infuse some strength back to me.

I could have quit last week but I did not. Because it is my resolution to be firm.It has its moments when I get to solve cases which I didn't come across before. But, wasa little panic when servers crashed on me for two consecutive nights. This is what I have been telling myself before I made the move to this new job. I don't want to move when the times are tough because for sure, I will experience some rough times wherever I go. Tough times at work is not a reason to quit.

As I always tell myself, God knows when our hearts need encouragement. He'll make time for me to see my little ones. He'll make time for me to see Bebi A blowing kisses to me in the morning. He'll make time for Dawter T to walk with me to the lift and press the button. He'll make time.

Dress Code

If wearing jeans every day of the week is the gauge for a great workplace, my new job would have a tie with my last workplace in the Philippines. Yes, we can dress down the whole week. I am so thrilled with this prospect. First day was ok. My boss took a picture of me from camera phone and sent this picture in an email to the global team. Oh man! Workwise, I find the team to be so organized and that scares me. After being lawless for a year, it's a big turnaround. When I opened my email this morning, I got almost 70+ mails, and my training plan already laid out. They also gave me a web camera and headset for team web conferencing. (I really need to lose weight now, the camera will add a few more pounds hahaha) Then, I found out that they don't come to work on time and we can leave at exactly 545pm. Woohoo! That's one of the things that were nagging me but I was so pleased to learn that. We even had a 1 and a half hour of lunch time. Hmmm... This could be very...

Confession

Being a Mom.  Sometimes I feel as I am not cut out for it. Too much work.  Too much responsibility.  Too much worry. Worry that Ate T is taking the bus today.  Ate A's tooth is still in there and the new one has already come out.  Baby A has colds and is screaming and wants to cuddle. Sometimes it leaves me breathless. But When I pick up Ate T from our meeting place, I feel so proud of her because she has become independent and can commute.  Ate A's tenacity in wiggling her tooth and she's now toothless, doesn't need to go to the dentist to have it removed.  And, Baby A despite her colds still has appetite and it just feels good to hug her. God has showered me with so much love for giving me 3 wonderful girls.  It feels good being a mommy. Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mommies!
