Its been almost 5 months since I quit my corporate job. Getting used to this kind of routine is both easy and difficult for me. For 5 years straight, I woke up early and went to work for 8 hours, sometimes more, and went home when its dark, have dinner with my hubby and go to bed. Same routine the next day for 5 years.

All this changed when my little bundle of joy joined me and my hubby. Having a difficult pregnancy, I has some doubts about being able to work 'full force' again once the baby came out. I finally decided to be a full-time mom and turned my back to corporate life. It takes getting used to, really. I used to handle around 50 teachers on a daily basis aside form my usual supervisory work. Now I just handle my precious baby who seems to have the energy of 50 teachers! Ah!

There are times when I wonder if I hadn't made the decision to stop working and just be a full-time mom...I wonder how I and my baby could have coped if I chose to work instead of taking care of her full-time. I never wonder for long because I already know the answer. With Ysabella, my first child, I chose to work because I needed to at that time. I was young and I needed to prove myself and of course I wanted my financial independence. I also needed the money for both of us. Now, she is 9 years old and has grown to be the most adorable little girl. I often wonder hos she really feels about me not being with her most of the time since she was 3 years old. I remember that I chose to quit my job in order to give more attention to both my daughters now.

So for now, I'm relearning how to be a good mom...I know its still not enough, especially for Ysabella, but I am trying. And when I set my mind on doing something, I will do it and I will do it well. That is, of course, with the help of the people I love and the people who love me.

And look at Skylar...What mom wouldn't quit any job for that face? It's great to be a mom.
