Ladies of Hive Community Contest #158: A Mom's Diary

Dear Diary,

I woke up today not feeling good because of my cough but I'm thankful that last night this cough didn't bother my sleep.

As soon as I get up from bed, I planned so many things already. That is what we most mothers do. I am not yet eating my breakfast yet my mind is already full. Full of so many things to be done in a day like laundry, cleaning the house, washing the dishes and other small works to be accomplished. Just thinking about these tasks to be accomplished, I feel like my body is already tired but I shouldn't let this tiredness rule over me.

After having our breakfast, the battle begins. I work here and there to fulfill all the task needed to be done this day. I didn't get to relax in the morning since it was the time that I need to do some productivity like washing the dirty clothes while the sun is still up and cleaning inside the house while I haven't feel the hotness all over the house. As I look at the time, it's almost lunch time already. I didn't notice the quick pass of time because I was so busy with those chores mentioned. Realizing that it was almost lunch time, I hurriedly made food for our lunch because any moment my husband would get home from work. It's tiring when I need to double up my time just to get to the goal that I want to finish but being able to make it on time made me make a sigh of relief. Who wouldn't be? I became prouder of myself when I get to do this.

Dear diary, being a mom of four naughty kids and being a wife is not really easy. Kids fighting and sometimes messing the house, this kind of scenarios made me want to get a day full of relaxation but I can't do it because there are plenty of things that I should consider doing so whenever some task are done, I made sure to give myself an hour or two for relaxation which I have done in the afternoon. I stayed on the hammock, swing it then watch some funny videos to get my mind relax. My body also felt refresh and when it's almost dinner time, I am in the mood again to do more task to conclude my day.

You know what's my favorite part of the day, diary? It's when I go to bed at night. When my body touches the soft beddings I smiled and said to myself, "Yes, I made it. My body and mind can now relax. ALHAMDULILLAH!"

Today isn't as tiring as the other days of my life. I am happy and thankful that I was able to get relax even just for hours because in other days, I can't even get it especially when more task are to be done.

With this kind of routines everyday, I sometimes describe my days as boring and tiring. Boring because I feel like my days are just the same with the other previous days. Tiring because of so many task to be done and many responsibilities that I had to take care of. But this is what mom's life is. Despite feeling it that way in some days, I'm thankful that each day I wake up next to my love ones, and I'm so grateful too for all the blessings that we have received. Some days may bad and other times it felt like I'm carrying the whole world which made me want to give up but I'm still grateful enough that I am able to pass those days with so much perseverance and patience. I have high hopes that things will get better as time comes.

Love,

Aezie
