Mommy Moments: Mother's Day 2010

At first, I wanted to skip this week's MM because the theme was Mother's Day and I really don't have much to share about that day. 

I started that day (it was actually 'night' because we were all still awake during the wee hours of the morning) with a hug, a kiss, and a greeting from hubby... The End... 

Actually, I was a bit sad that day since I wasn't able to visit my Mom and give her something. I just called her up to greet her and to tell her that I love her. That's it. I also didn't receive a card or a flower from hubby **sigh** and my babies are... well, babies, so they couldn't possibly come up with a card. However, I really appreciate all the bloggers, online friends, and "offline friends" :) who extended their greetings to me. I really felt remembered with all the FB photo tagging, wall posts, and mails.

Before I started making this post, I read Mommy Chris' MM entry and she noted that we should write about why this year's Mother's Day is special for us. That is why I still decided to join in this week.

Mother's Day 2010 is indeed very special for me since this year marks my evolution into a full-pledge, hands-on, full-time, super mommy. Yes, I was the one who took care of Yana before and we never had a nanny (until now) but it was so much easier then. Though I had a full-time home based job at that time, I found mommyhood more manageable before because I only had to take care of one baby.

Now, I instantly have three babies and I've got my hands full- literally. My Yana, Yza, and Ysha made me realize all the hassles that come with the world's most rewarding but demanding job. Sometimes I just want to cry, especially if they all cry at the same time and I can't seem to choose who should I attend to first. I also barely sleep now and our financial probs have gone big time since I couldn't work properly with all the nannying I have to do...(please do share some blog monetizing tips)...

Anyway, amidst all these things, I'm proud to say that this Mother's Day, I've become a real mommy - to the bones. Haha! I've grown stronger and tougher and no matter what happens, I know I can handle anything. Why? because I'm a mommy and Mommies are simply the toughest people on earth.

P.S. Mommies, I'm going to have my first ever blog contest this June and maybe you can be sponsors.
