Is It really That Easy To Be a Work At Home Mom 

Although being a multi-tasking home working mom is not easy, my rewards so far includes being the first person to hear my babies’ first word or a kiss from hubby for a wonderful dinner -- while checking out my monthly commissions of course. 

Will it really become easier being a work at home mom? Here’s what I have to go through almost everyday. 

In the middle of any kind of projects, be it just trying to write articles or making the details of my downlines’ total points -- suddenly my four months baby is crying painfully. Turns out, her 4-years-old sister is showing her outrageous affection by pulling the baby’s hair! She said, “But, there’s dirt in her head, mom!” 

This is the kind of situation that needed my immediate attention. By attention I mean, breastfeeding the baby -- usually takes 15 to 20 minutes while trying to explain to my older daughter about her wrong action (learning html is much more easier than having to have an argument with a toddler!). 

One job done? Well, not exactly. 

Still can’t go back to my computer because then the big sister wants to go to the bathroom. And 10 minutes after that, my mom came and reported that the washing machine is broken! So the next 20 minutes I’m trying hard to be a mechanic -- but fail successfully -- and then suddenly remembers that I haven’t prepared any lunch. 

An hour has passed. The ideas that were previously in my head -- following me wherever I go and whatever I do, has gone. Laziness and tiredness are starting to come. 

And that’s just the typical day in a work at home mom’s life ;-) 

Try and search the internet about time management, working at home articles, sharing experiences with other stay at home moms. And you too will find out that working at home is just as challenging as working at the office. 

Have you ever try making plans such as when to work, when to cook, when to breastfed the baby or basically do everything without any disturbances? Most of the other work at home moms will tell me the same thing. The plan will barely work. 

So, what should we do then? 

Me, I chose to just go ahead and work according to the house chores schedule. 

I know that my ideas will often be disturbed by my baby’s crying or the time to prepare meals. That’s okay because I chose to be a wahm and felt that I already have many advantages with this choice. Not, that I never complain or lose a temper…nope, my husband will tell you exactly ;-) 

But what I can do right now is just being grateful for the choice that I have -- working at home and just try to do the best with the so called spare time I have.

If I have to do the articles at 2 o’clock in the morning, so be it. The important thing is, my Editor-in-chief will received the translations at the time she opens her email the next morning. 

If I have to stop my blogwalking because I need to breastfed my baby or my daughter wants to play barbie or nickjr.com, then that’s what I would do. 

Also, I found that I can only do one thing at a time. Whether it’s for answering emails, updating my blogs, blogwalking or writing articles – one thing at a time. 

I love to make use of the spare times I have like when I’m waiting for my little girl at school. Typing the ideas in my laptop while waiting in the car or read all the great articles I printed from the internet. 

Well, this is the theory, won’t be easy though. 

But, having that thankful attitude is all that it takes to make it easier. My rewards so far includes being the first person to hear my babies’ first word or a kiss from hubby for a wonderful dinner -- while checking out my monthly commissions of course ;-)
