Family life as we know it The real supermom

A sleepy start to a new career

February 14, 2013

Happier than a bird

I’m officially jobless and paycheck-less.

I like my new title nonetheless. SAHM sounds like an important position, as in like “Oh, the GM is not free but you could speak to our SAHM, she directs all domestic operations here and makes all the executive decisions in the house”.

This February, I’m taking my own break before the kids exit from childcare. I’m gonna be staying home WITHOUT the kids for two weeks (SAHWKM, check that acronym out!). I badly need to catch up on some sleep.

I’m hoping to *finally* just sprawl, laze, watch tv and bake. And shake legs [colloquial phrase for doing nothing]. I’ve not done all of that for the longest time since a full-time day job and child rearing have consumed my entire being.

So excuse me while the SAHWKM go catch a nap. *Yawn*

P/S: Actually, I need to prepare my homeschooling resources and lesson materials, and get some exercise routine going on to lose the kilos I’ve put on since the first pregnancy in 2008. Really.

PP/S: I’m grateful for all the emails and comments to affirm my decision to stay home. Thank you for sending encouragement my way. ♥

    I love your quote ‘Oh, the GM is not free but you could speak to our SAHM, she directs all domestic operations here and makes all the executive decisions in the house’.  I can definitely say that the GM can’t do without an SAHM. Try leaving for a short hol and coming back to see the state of the house :-p

      Yep, that’s why the person holding this SAHM post should be paid the most. A big fat bonus mid year and year end would be nice! 🙂
