Mummy's thoughts

Mummy has had a tough 1 week roller coaster ride recently because her health condition is not looking too good. As a result, she has to stop work immediately starting this Wed till next week and was advised to be on complete bed rest in order not to complicate her condition further. Doc has also advised her not to carry heavy things and hence the usual cuddling of little Caden had to be stopped as well. PaPa has been unusally busy this week through ferrying Caden from mum's place and dinner for mummy at home and coaxing our little monster to sleep each night. Caden is still not aware of mummy's condition and pleads to have her attention each night when he sees her at home. Hopefully the Doc's appt tomorrow will show a brighter sign of mummy's route to recovery.

Mummy has recently discussed this with a close colleague of hers and felt that this statement should always be registered in her mind. No one will remember how good a worker you are but everyone will get to see how bad a mother you are if you neglect your children due to work commitments. I think by the time we grow old and look back on our lives, I hope I won't regret some of the choices that we have made for our children along the way. With that being said, although it is still true that we shd be responsible in our daily work commitments, but on the other hand, since you have decided to have children of your own, there should also be a reasonable amount of quality time that you shd spend with the children.. Currently with Caden, we are still coping well, and hopefully we will continue to do so even with a second child..
