SAHM me

FYI - SAHM stands for Stay At Home Mom. Its been a quarter since it became my identity. I quickly jot down the changes I see in my life.

In the beginning, I was pretty scared and started looking for some crazy work from home jobs. But quickly enough discarded the thought. I found that as a working mother I was multi tasking my head off and now I find it difficult to concentrate on single task at a time. So I planned to meditate a bit daily. Which is obviously not going as per plan. But eventually I got used to single tasking or lets say not multi tasking. 

We are facing small problems like managing finances with single salary and by end of every month we have pulled it safe so far. There is one major problem I am facing due to lack of office laptop. Because the MS office subscription on my personal laptop has expired. And if you find any typo or grammatical errors on my blog then its Microsoft to be blamed. Because, how the hell can they not give me unlimited access to MS Word after purchasing a Windows 10 laptop? 

Talking of advantages, I am leading my life at a much much slower pace when compared to the past 8  years. On few days I don't get to see my dark circles. I have a tidier and better organized home than before. The best of all is getting to see my child grow every second right in front of my eyes. Even better than the previous one is that I get to watch more movies with  my husband. And I bet he can't ask for anything more. Okay, here's a better one, he gets freshly cooked food served hot, thrice a day.

Life has been such a roller coaster ride so far. Thanks to my husband for being there and supporting my decision of quitting the rat race that I was part of. Few of my relatives who were not happy with me working and leaving my baby with his grandparents, are now pitying me and asking why I quit? Many of my friends told me that it was a very bold decision to quit my career and now I understand why they called it "BOLD". Its one such experience which is hard to forget. Kudos to my son who keeps me going. And thanks to my husband because if I don't thank him very often from now on, there is a risk of cutting my pocket money. :P
