Life as A Homebased Mom

It has been more than a week since my last update here. It's just that each day is becoming busier and busier and I had to keep up with my tasks to avoid late deliverables. All I can say is, despite the very busy days I have right now, I can still find time to watch movies, spend quality time with my family, stroll my baby to the mall, and etc. I am totally stress-free! Working at home is far more better than going into the office and work 8 hours whole day, plus spending 2 hrs of commuting, then when you arrive at home, you immediately open up your computer because in a few minutes, you will start working again. How does that sound? :D

Yep, been there done that. But now, no more 2 hrs commuting. Just an 8-hour-work a day spent in front of my pc at home, earning more than what I get from the office. I realized I can save more since I no longer have to separate an allowance for myself during my pay. Instead of setting aside an allowance for me which I used to do before, I just save it or get a part of it and buy my kiddo those things which he wanted really the most. That's an act of spoiling, I know, but that's the least I could give him as of now.

In fact, I have bought him his most favorite toy whenever we go to the mall and visit the toys section. I know I had overspent on this one but what I was thinking when I bought the toy was my son's happiness, and that's the most important thing to me. You just don't know how big his smile was when I carried the toy in front of him and asked him if he likes that. And obviously, he giggled and smiled excitedly and replied with a big YES! Haha :D

Anyway, here is the toy which I am referring to. A BIG remote control red Ferrari, my son's greatest obsession as of now.. (except of course for the CARS movie. hehe) ;)

fun with son!

I just had a very looong day! Well, not exactly.. Coz I was still able to enjoy my busy day because of my baby boy. He's soo adorably cute and charming.. I can't deny it. And I am liking it so much.. He throws away my stress away indeed! :)

It has been 4 days since my resignation.. And gladly, I've not been thinking about it. I am just so lucky and thankful to God that He really did not forsake me. It was a tough decision, knowing that I am my family's breadwinner and at the same time, the only one with a decent income.. BUT up to this point, I am happy with my decision. No traces of resentment or whatever coz I am really contented!! I've already learned my lesson from the past and yeah, I regretted those times when I did not make this decision earlier. However, I always tell myself that everything had a purpose.. And now, I am seeing it clear..

I just wanna thank my present employer for being so kind and generous, and understanding most of the time. Here's to you, "I'll be forever loyal and dedicated to my work for you no matter what.." :)

P.S.

Wanna see how happy and free I am while at home working? Take a peek on these pics I've just taken earlier today.. Err, actually, my husband took it. Hehe :D

And oh, P.P.S.

Sorry for the vanity! Just wanted to keep a record of my happy times together with my son WHILE at work. ;)

day 2 - getting happier :D

I've been loving my job so far -- at home. :) I still work even if I did quit my job. But now, more relaxed and more comfortable coz I am just at home.. I love the fact that I can now monitor my son while he's growing up. More time with him even if I stay in front of my pc all day.. Well I guess, it's because while I am working, I can still see him around. He's grown so intelligent and cheerful. I've never noticed that keenly until I experienced staying at home (except for weekends before because we really don't stay at home.. we wander off to malls and to his lolo's and lola's).

Anyway, the job I've been doing is keeping me busy, but the great part is, I can go out anytime I want and just make up any working hours I've lost. Isn't that great? Well, that just means the pay is still FULL.. Intact!! And I love it! Comparing to working in a company, absences are very noticeable and subject to sanctions. I am not really liking that, coz I am a mom. And sometimes, I just wanna spend time with my son and my family.. And the two days off from work is not enough, at least for me. So I really did not regret anything. After all, I still have my job (more convenient) at home. This just needs time management and more close ties client-agent working relationship.. And I intend to be one good employee to him, no matter what..

This was the biggest decision that I've ever made in my whole "married" life. I resigned from my job. All was well, I just kept on thinking that I want to spend my everyday life guiding my son and being at his side every minute of the day that's why I ended up quitting my work. Well, that's what pushed me to be firm with my decision, and I've got no regrets. :)

Nothing so serious to talk about here though, I just wanted to keep a record about this big transition of my life.

November 14, 2007 to December 8, 2009..

2 LONG years (well, that's how I considered it, at least)..

..And that's it..

P.S.

Just never be afraid to do what you really want in life. It may be confusing while still at the choosing part, but when you stay firm with your decision and you know in your heart that you're going to be happy, you'll really end up happy. That's REAL!

;)
