It’s About Time
August 28, 2011 in SHE Said
I know I know! It’s been a while since I last updated this blog and O has been feeling bad because he thinks that I don’t care about this blog. I do, I have a lot of things on my mind but sadly the words have escaped me. Yes I know, it’s so unlike me, not that he has stumped me or anything, I just have a lot of things going on, what with the kids, my other blogs and of course a full time job.
Anyway, what do you think of the new layout? While O was busy ranting about how I don’t wake up early in the morning and how I order him around like a Queen, LOL, I have been trying out theme after theme for this blog and I think I have finally found one that I really like and truly suits this blog.
So now that I am done with all the tweaking, I can finally make some posts. I have no idea where to start.

Why is it that men think women have it easier when we stay at home. I know for a fact that he thinks I have it easy. He tells me to sleep early so I can wake up early. I did that, it just doesn’t work for me. I work better at night when everyone else is asleep and there are no kids calling me every after 5 minutes. He doesn’t see it because when he is home, the kids call on him. It’s not because they love him more, it’s because they miss him because he’s at work for most of the day and he only has one day in a week off from work. Aside from doing some household chores, I admit, I don’t do ALL of them because we live with my MIL (don’t even get me started on how that is!), I also have a full time job as a MOM and as a web content writer, I also do sponsored posts for my blogs, so everyday is a busy day for me. I know he’s busy at work too, and it can be stressful too, I’m just saying he shouldn’t think that just because I work from home, things are easier, cause it’s not. Besides, when he gets home, dinner is ready and all he needs to deal with are nagging kids. I deal with nagging kids, a grumpy MIL, a demanding job and chores waiting to be done. So, I think he’s life is a bit easier and he needs to see that.
I’m not complaining. I love how my life turned out. There are just some days that I fail to do what I’m supposed to do because everything is just so overwhelming. I honestly don’t know how other work at home moms do it. I think I need to work on managing my time and perhaps creating a healthy balance and set my priorities straight…

I think not all man think that way…I'm telling you because I'm one of them haha
I understand what you are saying Ane. Since i got into this new home based business i have really not blogging at all so my 4 sites are just laying there. I think stay at home moms sometimes have a very hard life. The good thing about my relationship is that we share the chores because my wife works also so she can send money back to her other 3 children in PI.
I have the same sentiments. I don’t know how other WAHM does it either. I seem to be so tired most of the time and I can’t seem to finish work…
me too, I can so relate. I really can work well at night when everyone else asleep.. but that makes me feel dizzy as I have to wake up early for mom’s chores.
I can relate. I’m also a work-at-home mom. While working full-time, I also have to attend to my son’s needs, like reviewing him for lessons/tests the next day after he’s done eating lunch, and I also need to update my blogs every so often. A day is simply not enough for the many things I need to accomplish. Sigh!
We are both working at home and I am the one complaining before since I woke up very early to prepare the kid’s breakfast and give Elijah a bath. I learned to let it go by not waking up very early and accepting the fact that I cannot push him to help me do the household chores.
hihih Thankfully, hubby doesn’t think so. We literally both work at home because he works at the store and I work at home right up stairs so he just comes up after work. He really helps me with the chores knowing that I am also a busy mom with a daughter who can really make me crazy sometimes. hehe
I understand what you mean. I’ve been a wahm for as long as I can remember. Doing the homeschooling part adds to the challenge. Reason why I can’t get my blog updated like I want to. But at least you got down to sit on it and blog away.
I can so relate. I think it will take a couple more years for the husband to realize that I can be overworked, too!
It is so hard to balance our time. As moms, we forgot ourselves already yet we still have time for everything else. Kahit nga ang tulog kulang na, wala pa rin tayong magagawa;(
The theme really suits this blog, not my fave colors to combine though on my own blogs
it would always be that way not unless they see for themselves how busy moms are..
Being a WAHM, I’m also finding it hard to manage my time effectively. What helps actually is accepting the fact that I’m not a superwoman and I can’t do everything in a day.
Sometimes I wasn’t able to update my blog because of the mommy priorities but yes we need create a healthy balance and work on managing a time table.
