Thirty minutes to go before the last day of the year and I'am still trying to collect my thoughts and recall the highlights of my year 2014. Well, for a fact it has really been a busy year for me, it was a pretty bumpy start but I am grateful on how everything turned out. It wasn't so bad after all. :)
I wanted to write about how my year went and how I learned so many things about work, parenting, friendship, relationships and life in general but then I said, I wanted to write about something that I might have forgotten, well not really, but at least, I might have (unintentionally) taken for granted.
You see, being a working mom is really difficult. It's not all day play, it's not magic. But it's fulfilling. Yes, I know. You might have heard that cliché already but it's true. The moment I gave birth, I promised myself that no matter how busy I get, my child will always be my number one priority. I want to be there for her in every step of the way. I want to witness all her milestones. My goal was to be a hands-on Mom and so far I think I am on the right track.
As awesome and as loving as it may sound, there's something wrong in the scenario above. Yes, you got it. I totally forgot the fact that there are three of us now. I forgot that the saying goes "Family should always come first." and family means, Daddy is included in the picture. :) I forgot this fundamental principle that each married couple should always remember:
It has been 16 months since we became parents and having a child can be quite a handful and in these days, it's really difficult for us to go out without tagging Janna along. Especially now that she's growing up and she's becoming more clingy.
