Mom’s workday begins

January 25th, 2010 by mitone

It’s Monday morning again and as I sit at my desk at work, I realize what a morning I’ve already had.

Wake up, workout, make lunches, get showered and dressed, make sure girls are dressed, rush through breakfast, rush some more to get them in the car. Race down the highway to get to school on time. Give up in traffic and park a block or so away. Walk then start to run in skirt and heels with 3.5yr old on hip (otherwise, little legs can’t keep up) panting and legs burning from exertion just so we can make it to class before the tardy bell rings. Kiss big girl goodbye and wish her a happy and fun day.

Back to car to drop off little one. This time, not so much of a hassle as no bell haunts me with the dreaded pink slips. Give her hug and a kiss, then another kiss and say bye-bye. Get back in my car, take a deep breath, get a drink my almost cold coffee.

It’s 8:15am and now, it’s time to be my professional self and drive to work.

About Absolutely Mai Mai

Mai Mai was a name I gave myself when I was a little girl. Absolutely Mai Mai is written by Mitone (me) who is a wife to a wonderful husband and a mom to 2 beautiful daughters. I work full-time, am committed to the Rotary Club and currently obsessed over my weight and figure.

I’m a Filipina living in Northern California and I’ll be writing about me, my family, my extended family, my near constant obsession with weight gain and loss, work life, my commitment to my community and the Rotary Club, travel of which I love to do and don’t do enough, being Filipino, food and anything else that I can think of and strikes my fancy.

I’d welcome an exchange of links and would appreciate it if you decide to use anything on this site, please source it. Feel free to tell others about me. I make no money on this website, it’s just purely for me to chronicle my memes in a blog instead of on Twitter or Facebook. Feel free to leave some comments, I'd welcome your feedback.

Thanks for reading.
