Crap is the word! It's that time in one's daily life when everything seems to be falling apart. Well, not really falling apart... more on... nothing seems to be going right. For me. I just feel like screaming and tell every single fart who makes my life uncomfortable to just shove it up their as**s!

I need a freaking break. A break from the daily grind. I have not taken a "me" vacation for the last 29 years. Vacation time was always with the family - and I guess you know that for most moms that is no vacation at all. Vacation time with the family is synonymous with doing all your everyday household chores and responsibilities away from your house.

The irritating, if not that sad part is, "some" do not realize the effort and sacrifice that comes with motherhood. Day in, day out,for the past 29 years, I've put my kids' welfare and well-being as my priority. I set aside my career and put the children first. I set aside my personal feelings for the kids. I spent all my hard-earned money for the kids and their needs. I breathe and think of my kids. I became irrelevant. I became an extension of them. I was at times taken for granted. In a few more years everyone of them will leave home and have their own families. Where would that leave me?

Sometimes I wonder if I did the right thing.

What do you know? This is my 1000th post!

  3. as over rated as it is, I know what you feel. I guess half of stay/work at home mommies would feel the same way. Panapanahon talaga kung kelan mapupuno eh noh? baka bukas makalawa pag gising mo okay ka na ulit :)

    at least alam natin tao ka.

  4. hi lena, lapit na birthday kaya siguro ganyan. every year ganyan ako especially when my birthday nears. parang i try to examine what my life was in the past year and every time na lang, i always come to a realization that I haven't had any time for myself--yun na nga, always thinking of others first.

    pero naman, dapat lang magbakasyon kana kung 29 years na. maiintindihan na cguro nila yun...

    congratulations na rin on your 1000th post. grabe halos sabay lang tayo pero wala pa kong 500....=) dami mo kase opp...

  5. @ renz: hahaha.. onga tao ako at hindi robot kaya marunong din mainis at mapuno.

    @ cherry: umm.. baka nga. minsan kasi i'm taken for granted and at the same time they expect too much from me. supermom baga. in spite of all the "sacrifices" i've done for my family yong mga in-laws dami pang "epal"!!!

    i'm the more forceful force between hubby and i kaya ako ang stressed out.

    konti na nga opps e. grabe puro $1 na lang kaya tamad ako gawin.

  6. Right there witcha! Buti na lang at isa lang itong akin. Kaso malapit na dumating ang aking 'bisita' so ako eh madaling mairita.....

    Supermom....super duper mom....grabe. I can't imagine doing what you're doing. But...you seriously need a break. Baket hindi tanggapin ang offer ng brother? I'm sure they'll be fine. Who knows that's what you need and what they need....

    Inhale...exhale...inhale...exhale....
