Juggling my many roles

Last night someone asked about how my typical day goes. And come to think of it, it’s kind of hard to say, because it hardly is the same everyday. I mean, we may be out and about for one whole day and work past midnight, and be a lot more relaxed the next day.

Overall, Anya’s day is somehow more predictable though.

Simply put, it goes like this:
wake up, breakfast, shower, playtime, lunch, playtime, nap, afternoon snack, playtime, shower, dinner, playtime and bedtime.

But being our kid, Anya (since she’s a month old) learns to adjust her day to our schedule too, which means she may need to nap in her pram, stop at a corner somewhere to have her formula or getting breastfed ‘on-the-go’!

(Btw, she completely switched to formula when she’s 13.5 months old).

So far, things have not always been easy. Juggling between work, being a fulltime Mom and wife, plus having the privilege to take part in some ministry at church.

And I think, it helps a lot whenever I think that : things may not be easy, but they’re (most likely) not impossible to accomplish.

Yes we may have to adjust our lifestyle, sleep less on certain days or work till four in the morning. But it’s part of life’s challenges, isn’t it?

I guess I don’t really think about it much too. If I have to do something, then then I’ll just do it.

And oh, I reckon, having a supportive hubby also helps! A lot.

When I have to rush (and this situation happens quite often!), Wilson helps in getting Anya ready, changing her diapers and stuff. And on days when I feel down or discouraged, he’s there to get me up and going again. And to me, this too is one reason why I can still do what I do today.

Well anyway, most important of all is that I personally believe that God gives us enough strength to go through the many different situations we come across everyday. And for each situation, however tough it may be, there’s always a lesson to be learned. A lesson that will better equip us when faced with even tougher challenges ahead.
