Day 4 as a Blogger Mum

Today was a good day. I did my brochure distribution and arranged next week's work. Working from home has it own advantages and disadvantages. The best thing is specially when you are a mum, you can choose the hours you want to work for and the amount of work pressure you can sustain. You are your own boss, specially when working as a self business owner, where you have flexibility and desire to earn as much as you like. Also to know that there is a possibility that we can work and take care of kids at the same time. But on the other hand the disadvantage is that we can't fully focus on working hours, specially in my case where I am lazy bones, when I work I work good and when I don't want to do anything then i am totally a couch potato. So this could be another reason of my excess weight. I must mention that I was on a good diet till today afternoon, No excuse why this happened, oh yes I do have an excuse it was Woolworths, I had a yummy chocolate cake.

But I must say after eating that delicious piece of chocolate cake I felt amazing. It was like it was needed badly. Either a big craving or I can think of it as my cheat day or blame on it on another cold day. Apart from this cheat my whole day was good. Sorted my work related things and completed some appointments and made a few calls, so I think of today as a productive day work wise. I also did some research about jobs today. I am loosing my faith on Seek.com even though in past its been helpful, but lately it just seems like all the jobs advertised on it seem to be only fit for a person who is fully educated but unemployed and the same time with exceptional experience. How can a person with so much skills and education be sitting home and applying for jobs? And if no one will give a job to someone in need then how can someone ever get experience?

Enough with my job related grudge. I guess all mums struggling to get back to work go through this experience. On the street where I live a house owner is demolishing the house to build a new one. While distributing my brochures I couldn't stop noticing how the old house is gone forever and the new construction has started. It made me wonder how one day we all will be gone as well and only a new house (means our kids) will take over and proceed with life. Before becoming a mum all I could think of was about having a car, a fully furnished apartment, trips, etc etc. but after i became a mum all those things became meaningless. I just want best for my little one, it does include few of the things from that list, like a better car and possibly my own house, but the main thing that matters is to give my little one my attention, my time and my love and care. As when they grow what matters is how we have raised our child, not what all we gave them. They won't remember the presents and amount of dollars we spent on them but how much we supported, cared and loved them.

To all the dear mums, be proud of what you all do everyday. You all are doing a great job, putting your little ones needs before your needs and doing your best to give them the love and care that is required, and that is not an easy job. And trust me if a person gives you advise about raising your child, specially a person who is not parent, then listen to their advise but do what you think is best for your child. As you have known your child from childhood and know what's into your child's best interest. Every child is different and special. Love them and care for them. When they will be adults than it wont matter what all they messed up in toddler or kinder age. And trust me you wont even remember it by than. By what i have known from my parents i was the most mischievous kid, and wouldn't sit still. But i turned out to be a normal human being, lol. I am an adult and sit nicely when i am suppose to be and don't jump on couches anymore, thanks to my parents for letting me enjoy the childhood. As we all know childhood don't last forever. One day our little ones will be big and than we will miss these all childhood cute moments. So, have a big cuddle with your little one, tell them how much you love them and last but not least, be easy on yourself. You all doing a great job.

So,
Today's job search result:- Job search continued.
Highlight of the day:- Yummy Chocolate Cake.
Feeling :- Mischievous.
Expecting:- To do something new everyday.
Hope:- To enjoy my little one's childhood.

Day 2 as a Blogger Mum

We mums do not need an alarm clock, specially those mums with little ones who wake up early. The long term benefit of this is that we wont have to struggle to wake up kids for school later in life. But from what i have got from other mums is that kids go the other way around when school starts. So basically, this is just beginning of our motherhood love arguments.

Its raining here in Melbourne, today i hope will be a bit more productive than yesterday. Time to do some more time investment for my part-time business that i do from home. More than money i enjoy getting social with my customer and feeling of being independent and also offering others to enjoy this independence. I like rain, it reminds me of my home country India and my childhood. I along with my brother and sister used to dance around in rain in my backyard and my mum telling us to stop making a mess around with our dirty feet. Thinking about back home and my family make me smile and enjoy this rain a bit more. Been in this beautiful country Australia from so long that even when i visit my parents within few days i miss my own home, which is here.

Today's to do list is a bit better and smaller from yesterday as i managed to do my laundry and cleaning yesterday, so today will be just normal day to day chores. And of course spending some great time with my DD, watching some more Peppa Pig and than playing pretending Peppa Pig game with her where she is Peppa and i am mummy Pig. Motherhood is amazing, never knew i could love someone more than myself and be able to take care of a tiny human being. She is my precious jewel.

I got a great tip yesterday to update my resume before applying for any job. But HOW...
This will need a good research and time, as all these years i have used only one basic resume. Secretly i wish to win a lottery, not too big may be just enough to buy a house as if i deduct the rent amount than i can survive really good with one job. But in order to win a lottery i will have to invest in buying a lotto, and my past experience has not been good so i am not quite convinced that my lottery plan will work here. So lottery plan is a back up plan with a very low chance.

Luckily i stick on my diet yesterday, but did indulged myself in yummy food cooked by a friend, yummy Cauliflower Manchurian. Sometimes i feel its very hard for those people to loose weight those who can cook well. As they will have to eventually cook something either for themselves or for house members. And while cooking its very hard to not crave for the food specially when you are going to try it for taste.

And worst is when you are mum/storage.

Mum/Storage means that anything left over from kids or in plate or one last bite goes to mums tummy as a storage, all mums can relate to this as i blame it for my extra weight. Or i should say i eat to comfort myself or just when i am bored? Today i am going to cleanup my pantry for any extra things which i dont eat anymore + food that i should be avoiding and can distract me in my weight loss journey which has just started few days ago.

My DD is at this age now where she understands that in a family there is a mum + dad and a baby. I have told her that i am her mummy and daddy, she don't quite believe me but she does trust my words and always gives me a smile when i say this to her. If i would have had a broken marriage and no kid, than i would have had a bad memory of that marriage. But thanks to my daughter that now when i look back i don't see it as a complete failure. I cant imagine my life without her and she wouldn't have been in my life if i wouldn't have got married. This whole idea does makes me believe in 'Whatever Happens Happens for a Reason'. Good things will finally come your way. Keeping this great thought with me, i wish today goes well.

Just want to say, that today might be a really bad day for few of us but just go through it as a chapter of life and close it so that we can open a new one, and if there is no new chapter than don't be too afraid to write one, there is always extra sheets provided in examination halls, and this life is our examination hall.


So,
Today's job search result:-  Time to make some changes in resume.
Highlight of the day:- Wrote my Second blog
Feeling :- Happy.
Expecting:- to see Sun.
Hope:- Good things will finally come our way.
