Hello mothers of this amazing motherhood community. Today isn't a lovely and fun post but a sad one. Not actually sad because these are our responsibilities as a mother but I want to share to you things that fears me the most. These are just small things, normal and common in every household but these makes me sad everyday or sometime. I'm a full time and at the same time a working mom. So I take full responsibility in the house and for the kids. There are certain times that I'm out of a budget and it gives me horror when everything is about to empty but the salary day is one or two more days. In my case I only buy groceries that I think is good for two weeks because I'm looking into a budget.
First thing is the baby's milk. I have two kids and they still have to drink milk. They love milk so much that they can finish 5-6 bottles of milk each of them. When this is getting empty my head will be so heavy to think if it can reaches the payday. I think this is always every moms and dads fears.
Second is the baby diaper. Same as my two kids uses diapers on the day and night when they go to bed. Diapers are a lot expensive nowadays and if you buy cheaper ones, it will leak and can be full in an hour and it causes more problems in the mattress and on the baby's health. Before I used to use cloth diapers, or else I'm going to recycle disposable diapers like removing the cottons and wash them and insert clothing in it but I find it unsanitary so I stopped. When they are young I can use cloth diapers but now they are much grown up and they are heavy wetters so cloth diaper is not suitable.
Third is there's no more groceries for food. I hate to see the kitchen with no onions, garlic, salt, msg, soy and vinegar. those stuff like that because I cooked everyday and it's difficult to cook if there's an absent ingredient because kids don't like to eat if the food is not appetizing.
Fourth is the rice. Rice is very essential in our daily meal. In two weeks we can ate 10 kilos of rice that's why I only bought 10 kilos when I go to grocery store. Sometimes my husband's troops comes here at home many times and eat here or sometimes we have birthdays that's why we overconsumption is sometimes my problem to rice shortage.
Fifth is the vitamins and medicine. Vitamins are very essential to their health especially nowadays qe are entering the rainy season. And I always have a stock of analgesic medicine in case they got a cold or a flu. It's very difficult to run to a pharmacy during emergency, the pharmacy is quite very far in my place and it's just a local pharmacy and we are not sure if everyday there's available medicine to certain cases.
Sixth is when the clothes cabinet is almost empty. This means I have to do the laundry. My kids change clothes three to four times a day because they play so much. And also in the evening before going to bed they have to take a bath because that's what their father wants. So everyday there's a lot of laundry to do but I can't do it everyday. I only do the laundry twice a week because it takes too much time and I can't do other things if I take all my time everyday on washing clothes.
Seventh is the efficascent oil. This my partner in the evening or whenever I feel my body aches and tired. This gave me a mint or cooling effect and helps my body relax. I do everything at home. I wake up early to work in my job. I cooked the meals, clean the house, wash clothes, sweep the yard, then taking care of my kids and in the evening I'll go back to work again. And in the end of the day my body is tired so I have to use this oil to relax myself so I really fear if I can't notice when the bottle is empty.
Those are the things that fear me the most as a mother. Very simple things but made my heart beats faster if those containers will be empty. I really like the concept of stocking more food, more groceries more things but I'm always out of a budget that's why I only buy things I need for the entire two weeks. And next week my kids will go to school and I have to adjust my schedule again because I will be the one accompanying them to school.
That's all for today hivers thank you so much for reading my blog and I would love to hear some of your insights regarding motherhood. I'll appreciate your comments, thank you again and again!
