Hi Julie,
You are so lucky that you get to have the best of both worlds.
And amen to that, I feel ancient and young at different times too.

Hmmmm…matanong nga ito sa suki ko, hehe. All I ever watch are those weird stuff like Chuck or Dexter or Monk

I really would like to go back to my semi-SAHM state (just worked with students referred to me at my MIL’s house where I have a small room, 8-10 minutes away). But I know I would miss learning new things from my colleagues who give me fresh insights. Fresh talaga since they were born the year I graduated from HS. For real. Hmph,I feel ancient at times, and young sometimes too.

Maybe because I can bring the kids with me (for now that the two younger ones are still young) when I go to work so I feel there’s no need to go full-time SAHM.

I am another happy to be SAHM! I left my first child for the first four years of his life in daycare and hated it! My second child–two years of her life. Now, with the third, I am able to stay home. There are times when I miss teaching a bit, but the feeling of wealth I get from staying at home far out weighs the feelings of missing teaching.

I know every mom is different and thank God for that. I wish all moms great success whether they choose to pursue a career or stay at home!

Hi Mary,

Thanks for your comments in my blog. I have alot of catching up to do. I saw this show featured in M and J. Sounds very interesting specially that I’m in the same boat. But you know I look at my daughter now and I have no regrets that I became a SAHM. No one can take away the years that I have spent watching her grow.

I’ll come back to read your blog once I’ve gotten over my jetlag.

Hi Rach,
It is really interesting and what a great concept. One that I know a lot of women secretly wished for in a long long time - to live the dream, if only for a week.
Hope you get to watch it.
