Are You Happy?

During my appraisal, my boss asked me if I am happy with my work. He felt that I lacked the zeal I used to have.

1. I come in at 9:30AM instead of 8:30AM.
2. I am not as patient with my users as I used to.

At the start of the year, I told myself that I will change but the thing is, it's still pending. Could it be that I am really not happy? When will I find job satisfaction?

hi salme. i was in a semi-same situation back there in sing. the difference is that i didn't lose the zeal to perform at work but i was always 'unhappy' being at work while leaving my baby with the yaya's care.

it was quite a long battle in my head, ie to quit or not to. thankfully, i am at peace now where i am.

just pray for guidance and let Him take you where He wants you to be.
don't be afraid to make a change.

take care.

i think we can always choose and decide to be happy. but being career women and working moms, i really feel for you. whatever it is that we decide, God will always be with us. =)

i say amen to the 2 comments given to you. You have a choice, but yet, remember always, one can never get all that he/she wants in life. You can be happy at home, being a stay home mom, but remember what sacrifices you have to tackle financially. So it's your priority. Others sacrifice $$ for the security of being a stay home mom. Learn to be content is the key, as aspostle Paul wrote in Phil 4:11-12. Whether in need or in abundance, be content. try to practice changing your mind frame, and find joy in whatever you do, no matter how hard it may be. I read "one cannot live a psitive life if one has a negative mind." ponder on it...and be thanksful in all circumstances.

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!

Me! Me! Me!

Last night, I created an LO using the picture below when Bebi A happened to see it. She touched it and said "Me?!" "No, it's me!" I told her. It was really me when I was Bebi A's age. The similarities will not be able to deny that Bebi A is my daughter hahaha I just hope that my bubbly and sunny bebi will not get the mom's sumpong(s). This is one of the few baby pics that I have. I used to have 3 baby albums but one of the worst floods that hit Pinas also took away my memories. Now, this is Bebi A.

Creativity

Dawter T called me up and told me that Bebi A tore her art and made a monster out of the girl in the picture. I know that it's not being mean. Bebi A doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She just don't understand. I talked to Bebi A. Asked her to kiss and make up with her Ate, She did. Ate A told me that she went up to Dawter T and kissed her, then asked "Is this better, Ate?" Awwww... Dawter T's "smashed" art was one of her best. I was really impresed. If only I have taken a picture of it this morning. It was really beautiful. It was a portrait of a girl, by the way. I hope that Dawter T can still replicate it. I know that not all kids are alike. And, my daughters have their own endearing qualities. One's art is different from the other. Dawter T has the potential (not because I'm her mom, ok ok, it maybe because I'm her mom hahaha) and Bebi A's, well, let's just say abstract. Hehe.
