Work vs Motherhood

Filed under: personal stuff — Wrote by admin on Sunday, March 30th, 2008 @ 1:00 am

I haven’t had much time to work and blog lately. My little girl was sick with colds for the past five days and wanted to be carried all the time. She can’t breathe when she’s lying down so the husband and I had to take turns in carrying her when she’s sleeping. And when she’s awake, she feels so bad and grumpy that all she wants is her mommy. It was a bit unfortunate too that it was the moment when our vaporizer decided to stop working. We’ve had it for more than two years now and been using it constantly every other month. Good thing my brother-in-law have two vaporizers, which they received from the baby shower. The other one that they got has a funny name called classic volcano vaporizer and shaped exactly like a volcano. It’s pretty effective though, because my niece’s colds usually lasts for 2-3 days only if they turn it on full blast.

Anyway, back to the sick girl. Her colds are not as bad anymore but she’s still not allowed to swim anywhere. She actually acquired it when she went swimming for more than an hour one hot afternoon on her very small inflatable pool. So yes, we’re putting off all our summer getaways until next month. I just can’t risk it because one, it’s her summer and should be fun without getting sick, and two, I’m just so swamped with work that I can’t afford to slack off anymore. (Not that I’m slacking off, I’m just being a mom!)
