Change.

Its funny how fast kids grow up and how things seem to differ from how you imagine your motherhood will be like. I had always imagine that I would be just like my mother, send the kids to school, go to work, fetch the kids, cook for them and tuck them to bed.

Reality you might ask? I have long working hours, still manage to send my girl to school, cannot make it in time to pick her up, do not have enough time to cook for her and to add on to that, we have officially hired our first helper in the family.

But the funny thing is, 2 days with my new helper, I am pretty glad to have her around. Lil kat likes her, she helps out in the house chores, restores a little sanity to the family. I guess in life, you cant always want things your way. Especially when it comes to parenting, when things normally does not get to the way you want it and you are forced to constantly bend. For the first time in life, I actually find that being forced to change might not be such a bad thing after all.
