BEING A MOM



Being a Mom has taught me a lot of things, at first I underestimate everything because I have been taking care of my brothers and sisters, we are 5. Which is why I think I would be able to handle it and bla bla bla. To be honest my first week, I was in chaos, struggling with my sleepless night, and my baby who keep on crying the whole time, and since its new I don’t understand yet what he wants/needs. I have been in a situation where I hold him, and we both cry together. LOL.

I started to get it back together on my second week, I start to listen and pay attention on what he wants/needs. But to be honest on my first week, I was crying every morning and feel miserable. I don’t even want to look at my face on mirror because I felt that I would look so ugly.

You know what? I have the best teacher, she is my Grandma. She said, “to have a baby, is not you shape the baby, but the baby will shape you on how to be a parent”. I was burst in tears, and I know she is right.

I’m not a single mother, I have a husband, but he was at work for 12 hours a day. So basically, I AM A SINGLE MOM for the rest of 12 hours, and I mean totally alone in the house without anyone to help me, no babysitter or maid at all. On the 4th week I learn fast to keep it together, here’s my motto:
1.       House must be clean, clean environment important for the baby.
2.       Laundry must be washed everyday, or at least every two days.
3.       When baby cry, listen carefully if he just want attention, I will not hold him, just talk with him, while doing my chores.
And I managed it everyday until now. I’m also grateful because GOD help me and gave me strength every single day. Whenever I feel  unable to go through or want to give up. HE restore my strength.

Thank You God.

If you trip with your feet, you can get back up again and continue as usual. We all make mistakes like this sometimes. It might be embarrassing, but only if you care greatly about the opinions of others. If you trip with your tongue, you unleash more than just words. You share thoughts, desires, or perspectives that may hurt others. Once you’ve said something hurtful, you can’t undo it. There’s no getting back up; there’s only asking for forgiveness and hoping they’ll pull you back up. Think before you speak. Whatever you say, write, or tweet will be out there forever. You can burn pages, delete tweets and Facebook comments, but you can’t pull your words from someone else’s mind. So, while you may one day forget why you said such hurtful things, others won’t. Don’t forget an earlier lesson that says it’s best not to speak unless you know for certain it’s something worth saying. If even a sliver of your being thinks what you’re about to say is better left unsaid, just keep it t...

JUST SHARE IT!

There are so so many good days around here. So many smiles, perfect moments, experiences as a mother I wouldn't trade for anything. There are also times where I feel the days begin to blur into the next, where I'm deep in the trenches of motherhood, deep in the tediousness of each and every need. Work and other projects are so exciting and exhausting at the same time. One million things (it seems) pulling me in one million different directions and some days it's hard for me to handle it all emotionally... My anxiety to have everything perfect and in-line, when sometimes it is out of my control, can be tough. Begitu banyak hari-hari yang menyenangkan belakangan ini. Rasanya menjalani hidup bersama Tuhan itu membuat segala sesuatunya menjadi indah dan mudah. Terimakasih Tuhan. This is all very vague. But I'm sure so many of you know the feeling of anxiety and being completely overwhelmed. And I just want to share that it's okay! An...
