My Chill Out Day

I’m here at The Coffee Bean chilling out. I thought, since I finished my chores, why don’t I spend the day just relaxing. So here I am! Just had my breakfast: bread with butter and jam, scrambled eggs, sausages and a big cup of brewed coffee. I guess that’s enough to last me the whole morning. The guy told me that the coffee is refillable but I have no plans of getting another cup lest I want my vertigo to act up again. Haven’t had an attack for more than a year and I want it to stay that way.
It’s nice that I am able to have this time for myself. Last year had been a pretty crazy year as I was working. I enjoyed working though. But this a good time to be a stay-at-home mom once again. Xianelle being new in school needs all the support and reassurance she can get and it is quite difficult when you are working. Somehow you have divided attention. Now at least I can do the chores in the morning and spend more time with her in the afternoon.
I can tell that my husband is also very pleased to have me at home the whole day as well. I must say
that having worked before entailed a lot of adjustments in our daily routine. Now, he loves that there is always freshly-cooked food on the table.
On a personal note, I’m also pleased with it. It makes me smile seeing our place really neat and tidy which was totally the opposite when I was working. I love that the clothes for ironing don’t pile up. But most of all, I am happy that I have control of my time. Sure the chores never end and being a wife and mother is a 24/7 thing but I can always choose what and when to do it. Being a stay-at-home mom allows me to do just that. I am just thankful for this chance again and I will enjoy every moment of it.

It’s good that you enjoy being home. There are times, I’d like quit my job but aside from financial commitments, I am not sure I could survive at home and honestly, household chores isn’t among my favorite things :)
I remember my first two weeks in Doha, I was bored to death. Don’t have my license yet so I’m just home and can’t go out without Walter plus there’s not much around Doha five years ago.

Thanks Nina! Fortunately I do enjoy being home. Imagine we lived in Saudi for 5 years and compared to Doha there really was less to do there.
