Working Mom

Being a working mom is not easy. You have to know how to manage your time between the two different world you are into. When at work, sometimes its hard to concentrate when you have children you think of especially if they are sick. When you are at home, taking care of the kids, you think about your pending works and sometimes bring them with you at home.

But, being a working mom creates a big difference to my life. It develops my confidence and personality. I manage to surpass whatever challenge that will come my way. Sometimes I have been thinking how I did it.

Anyway, what is important, I was able to do my job

as a Mom and Dad at the same time..this is my destiny..

Before I Was A Mom

"Before I was a Mom"

Before I was a Mom I never tripped over toys or forgot words to a lullaby. I didn’t worry whether or not my plants were poisonous. I never thought about immunizations.

Before I was a Mom - I had never been puked on. Pooped on. Chewed on. Peed on. I had complete control of my mind and my thoughts.
I slept all night…………..

Before I was a Mom I never held down a
screaming child so doctors could do tests. Or give shots. I never looked into teary eyes and cried.
I never got gloriously happy over a simple grin.
I never sat up late hours at night watching a baby sleep.

Before I was a Mom I never held a sleeping baby just because I didn’t want to put it down.
I never felt my heart break into a million pieces when I couldn’t stop the hurt.
I never knew that something so small could affect my life so much. I never knew that I could love someone so much.
I never knew I would love being a Mom.

Before I was a Mom - I didn’t know the feeling of having my heart outside my body. I didn’t know how special it could feel to feed a hungry baby. I didn’t know that bond between a mother and her child.
I didn’t know that something so small could make me feel so important and happy!

Before I was a Mom - I had never gotten up in the middle of the night every 10 minutes to make sure all was okay.
I had never known the warmth, The joy, The love, The heartache, The wonderment or the satisfaction of being a Mom.
I didn’t know I was capable of feeling so much before I was a Mom.

I LOVE being a mom.

And remember that behind every successful mother…
Is a basket of dirty laundry.

When I Hear You Laugh

I love to hear you laughing over the cartoons you have been watching...I love to stare at you how you kick the chairs while you burst into laughter..

How I wish I could be with you the whole day, but i can't. Mommy needs to go to work so that we could have something to eat, something to buy for your clothes to wear, something to pay for the tuition fee.

Anyway, Mommy will always be here for you, even its hard,

i will do it for you.

Just by seeing you happy, I will be fine.

Parents Working Abroad

Three days ago, my parents return to Portugal and work again as DH. Its their 11th year of working. I felt sad because we need to be separated again. If only my salary is enough to meet our daily needs, and to support them as they grow old, maybe, this thing should not happen.

How many of us being left by parents and work in a foreign country in order for them to help us in our financial needs? How many children who at their very young age will be separated from their mom and dad? What about the quality time that parents and children need to spend? The school activities that parents need to attend? Christmas day that family should be together? Ahhhhh!!!!

It was 10 years already that I haven't spend Christmas with my parents, and this really breaks my heart. If only I knew that this thing would happen, I should have spent more time with them than with my friends.

And now, me, being a single parent and having two children that needs to prepare for their future, is planning to seek a greener pasture in a foreign land. It would be a tough decision but I have to do it, not for myself, but for my kids.

Someday, I would be one of those parents who will be crying in the middle of the night thinking of the children I left behind.

Why Eigronzephyr?

Eigronzephyr, a unique name. Where did it came from and how did it exist.

Eigron is a backward spelling of my real name and zephyr came from a greek word means strong winds.

I am strong and i will be..for my children..

Spending Money without Thinking

How many of us spend our money without thinking? When we are depressed, we want to buy things that would make us happy, but, afterwards, we realize that we don't need such thing. We use our credit cards to satisfy our needs then afterwards, we are already already in debt and we don't know how to pay. Sometimes, our emotions without controlling it, will lead us to serious trouble, we will only realize our mistakes WHEN THINGS GO WRONG...

So for those who have an unforgetable experience about this, and would like to share with our readers, you are welcome and hopefully we could help those who are already in trouble.
