It's 1.30am and I'm supposed to be in bed, but I wanted to update my blog first! (It's a pride thing!). Lately, I seem to have endless things to do. While most stay-at-home moms feel this way much of the time, I dare say that this time, my workload is overflowing and I feel like I'm losing control.

My children's school exams are starting tomorrow and I've not had time to go through their books with them. They have also just started their piano lessons this month and again, I've not been able to sit with them as they practice. All these are eating into my conscience and at times like this, it's easy to get low with self-condemnation.

But I tell myself, one more week, and the pressure will ease. And then, I'll be able to sit with my children again, helping them properly when they encounter problems with their homework. As their fingers hover hesitatingly over the piano keys, I will be able to guide them and give them the encouragement they need to spur them on.

In other words, I can be a real mom again. Can't wait.
