Thanks God it’s Sunday!

My full time online job is eating much of my online time these days BUT I am not complaining. I’d rather have this job than spend precious time playing Yoville on Facebook. Not that I am against it or anything but I need to earn, that’s all. I just can’t waste my time playing. Ace-ing Yoville or any other game is not on my list of priorities

Now that I have mentioned priorities, all along I thought I was alone on this journey of WAHMhood because most of the stay at home moms that I encounter online became SAHMs because their husbands can afford to let them stay at home. My case is different, I became a SAHM because I want to be with my kid and I have to be a WAHM because there’s a need to. I’d get envious when I see them post updates that “they’re bored and has nothing else to do”, oh how I wish I’d have that luxury! but I just can’t lie down and wait for my allowance – it’s not how my life should be. My priority now is to be with my kid but earn at the same time and again, I am not complaining.

One friend asked me about my dreams and I was like “what dreams? a lifelong dream of climbing the corporate ladder?” Oh, I’ve been there! I was there early so I retired early, too! LOL But really, yes I was already there when I realized that it isn’t the life for me. I was a sucker for knowledge so I can’t be confined in corporate box bounded by corporate morals and rules. I just can’t stand it. And oh, not to mention corporate politics, it really sucks. I’ve had enough of it.

Now my goal is just be with my child, now that she STILL needs me. And by the time that she’s already in school and we’ll have lesser time together, then I’ll re-assess my goals.
