Hello, I'm a home CEO. Hahahaha.
First day of NPL, and I survived pretty well, Alhamdulillah! Not that it's really a surprise lah, because afterall I have taken leave before and stayed home just to take care of the kids ... but this is like more permanent kan, so mcm I expected to feel different ... but I didn't.
Except for the first few minutes when I woke up.
I was like "oh mannnn another workday!"
Barely a second passed by, and then I was like "oh hey I'm on NPL!!"
And then I realised I still have to wake up and bathe and get Hyder's breakfast ready etc etc etc .... it was just like a normal morning routine, til after he goes to school and the Husband goes to work.
And then ... I have to think of what to cook. I'm not a great cook.... actually I'm not even a good cook, but I make up for it with enthusiasm, because let me tell you, you can't find a more enthusiastic amateur cook than me. Hahah.
After the cooking stuff, I fetch Hyder, and then feed them, and then settle his homework, do laundry, and then think of activities to do with them.
I FEEL SO SEMANGAT, I tell you, but I'm not sure how long this will last. I hope forever, Insha Allah!
Two things I realised though. I feel SO much younger at the end of the day, and I think it's because I play and laugh a lot with the kids.
The second thing is ... I think I play too much with them til I haven't gotten much housework done. I give myself two weeks to really settle down and clear the 2 baskets of ironing and clean up the kitchen. Wish me luck!
