Having 3 kids is not a joke (many would agree with me on this one, I know!). I can say this for a lot of moms out there. Some even struggle with one. But me, i manage to juggle a husband, three kids and a home. before i used to be a working mother but realized that my children needed more than just the clothes they wear and the treats they get when budget’s not too tight. funny as it may sound but i enjoy being at home doing the usual stuff most house help do. the only difference is that i don’t get paid for all the things i accomplish around the home. but it really doesn’t matter…seeing that my kids are full before they go to school, that they’re homeworks are done and the uniforms well pressed..these are some of the small stuff that bring a smile to my face and contentment within myself. as for my husband, well he works seven days a week so you see i gotta take care of him too.
i never really saw myself in this situation however, as many would say, this might be God’s plan for me. and that i do not want to contest with. it’s hard to argue with SOMEBODY that big, you know what i mean. if my husband reads this, I am sure he’ll be surprised, moreover shocked, because the way i behave in the house..it does not show happiness or contentment. I always have something to say about the clothes not being well kept in the closets, or the dishes washed, or the house kept clean. And when I tell him, “oh, it’s just me talking”, he won’t believe me. However hard I complain, I still manage to get things done around home.
I’ll be celebrating my 1st year being a stay-at-home mom come august and I tell you it’s not that bad. KUDOS to those mothers who have stayed longer than I am and are still staying, doing the same old things day-in and day-out. As for me, I’ll be looking forward to the many struggles, the hardships one mother has to endure. I am a strong individual and I know that no matter what happens, through the many tough times ahead..I’ll overcome them all.

haha welcome to the blogosphere my friend! it’s not hard isn’t it.
Family life is hrd indeed, but the joys of having children and a loved one wipes all the tears of domestic burden.
for your next tutorial,
1. try to go to Mybloglog.com and Technorati.com (with www infront), then register your blog, upload your pic (id size) and wherever you go to the blogosphere, your face will show up just like ours do.
2. you may also want to go to cbox.ws (without the www) and try to sign up for a free chat box just like mine. then when you have the code of the chatbox, try to go to your admin panel> design> widget. Select the widget TEXT to add on the sidebar then edit. On edit mode, copy paste the code of the chat box, and voila, you now have a cbox.
3. try to also put some other widgets on your sidebar.
4. on Write, try to click page, then write something about you so that bloggers may have an idea about the author. then after you publish it will be shown on your menu bar.
contact me if you have more okay?
Pax et Bonum!

Hi Sushiekebabs. I found your blog through Bluep. It is so nice that you have decided to start your own blog. To be honest, I felt that it was my wife writing your first post.
Yes, we have three kids too and my wife also gave-up a flourishing career in banking in order to spend more time with our children (and to take care of me). As you can see, our families have so many similarities.
I look forward to reading more stories from you soon.

Hi Sushi! Heard about your blog from my hubby, Leap of Faith. Funny how I felt I was the one who wrote your post after I read it – we just have so much in common it’s quite creepy – hahaha! Here’s looking forward to more posts from you.
BTW, happy 1st year (domestic) divanniversary from one domestic diva to another!
Take care!
