As a mother I am ...

I'm a Home maker whose primary duty is to take care of my kids. I looked different from other women. My hair isn't always done in the latest style, and sometimes, it isn't done at all.

I am a mother who can cook dinner while I tutor my kids, look out for my youngest and surf the net at the same time. Wishing to be a Shiva who has six hands to help me do more stuff at the same time.

I suffer from scoliosis but still manages to carry my kids from day one till they are three. I still do carry them until age 9 whenever we play horseback riding or piggy back ride.

I learned to drink milk often to keep the baby inside my tummy healthy. I learned to eat fresh tomato because my daughter loved eating it raw at the age of 6 months. I buy my favorite foods but I end up eating none, not even crumbs. I learned to be selfless and I am still learning until now.

I am the first in the kitchen and yet I am the last to take some food. I used to go malling and find myself good quality clothes but now when I go home from the mall I would realize that I havent gotten stuff for myself amongst the pile of shopping bags I carried.

I cannot be found in most pictures taken but ask me anything and I can give you every detail you need about a certain party.

I can never get sick. I am on-call 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. If ever I feel a flu is coming. I can psych myself and still stand up and prepare breakfast before everyone wakes up.

During vacation time when everyone in the house can sleep till noon, I on the otherhand should still wake up by 6am even if I had a hard time sleeping during the night and just had 2 hour sleep.

They say children doesnt come with manuals - but like a good technician I can figure out whats wrong with every kid. I am able to decipher their every needs anytime of the day.

I am someone who can repair the kitchen sink with only my hands -- after Daddy spent alot of time trying with tools and plenty of cuss words.

Being a mother is not an easy task but it can be truly rewarding you know. And I am sure when I die I can still face Him with a record of accomplishments even if I didnt pursue my dream of being a career woman. I hope He'll say I did a good job and be surrounded once more with cute baby angels floating between the soft fluffy clouds.
