I wanted to type entries but I don’t have the time. I wanted to upload photos but I don't have the time. My time is really limited and for all I know it’s time to hit the sack. My time is fully occupied till I wish there is more than 24 hours in a day.
I started my day early morning every day ever since becoming a mother of 4. I doubt there will be a day that I can wake up late. During weekdays morning, I will cook the twins' food before I go to work and leave them in the care of whom taking care of them (mum, mother in law or husband) during that time. There are times when I run laundry and hang the clothes before leaving for work. We both have reached the stage where we are comfortable of taking care of the 4 kids when alone with them. So when either one of us is off work, we will handle the 4 kids on own. Even since the twins turned one and begin to walk, we find it easier to manage them. The parents and parents in law will give support only when either one of us are working. As whether we can or cannot cope, it’s our responsibility and ought to perform with no complain. Furthermore we do not want to worn out our parents even though they have been doing a fantastic job. By the time I reach home, the kids had their dinner and bath. After I had my shower, get changed, ate dinner and performed prayers, the kids are all mine. I will play with them in the boys’ room till twins’ bedtime. Both of them will be asleep by 8.45pm. Next I will supervisor the girl on her homework and assessment. The boy will join if he is in good mood but at times he will just watch the Disney playhouse channel. The precious moment is when we perform isyak prayers together. After that we will engage in conversation and watching television together on the bed. Their night ended after their milk and story telling session. Then it’s the time for me to clean up the house and entertain the husband.
During weekends, I will be running round the house. I’m engaged with cleaning, cooking, tons of laundry, folding and ironing of clothes, sending the girl to her enrichment class and religious class. Feeding, playing, bathe one by one and put them to sleep all by my 2 bare hands. Having a nap and husband around during weekends are my luxury. Our occasionally treat will be family outing or attending to functions.
Even thought they are with me everyday, I feel I don’t spend enough time with them. I still feel I have not done enough for them and be with them when they need me. I want to drive them to school and fetch every single day. I want them to taste my home cooking and provide nutritious food every day. I want to pick them up when they fall. I want to be at their aid when they cry. How I wish I could be with them all the time, witnessing their growing up stages and furnish them with all the love, care, concern and attention. Dear husband, are you reading this?
