I've always thought that i'm a multitasker.. yeah.. where do you think 'UltraMom' came from? A galaxy far far away (quote from Iman: "Planet Cahaya")? And that i've been good at it too. But now I've come to a point where exhaustion creeps in. Then i'm thinking.. "maybe i'm not that good at it afterall".
I find myself caught between all the tasks- from becoming a mom to becoming a doctor and now becoming a part time Cloth Diaper seller! Maybe some would think- why on earth did she get herself into another mess? To be honest, I quite enjoy doing this cloth diapering thing- it gets my mind off all the stress at work- mind you... work has taken a toll on me lately. It's the same ol' problem with the same ol' babies over and over again, it's making me sick. I'm not saying that i hate my job or my patients, i'm just TIRED of them all... So that's when I started concentrating on cloth diapers after working hours (although I have to admit that i do take opportunities to promote them or ehemm .. 'create awareness' regarding them while working or breaking.
It's not an easy thing, starting up a small business (although i'm doing it as a hobby)- but because i enjoy and believe in it sooo much, I guess it makes the job easier. I've actually set up the blogshop myself (although i do have an IT guy as my hubby), I designed the brochures and had them printed for a small cost, I bring along samples of diapers to show others etc. etc. It takes a lot of hard work and time but I'm sure one day it will all pay off (business has been quite slow lately.. not sure how to make it grow bigger). I guess it's not easy to create awareness among the people of Malaysia due to many factors.. oh well.. at least I've tried. Oh yeah.. you can have a look at my shop at BabyUltra Cloth Diaper Shop and give some comments. Would really appreciate any, thanks.
Home and kids have been tough too. Sometimes I feel like a terrible mom coz i spend soo little time with my children. It's a shame that Bibik (my maid) seems to know my sons better than me.. huhu... I'm actually looking forward to my confinement period where I hopefully can spend much more time around my kids then. They grow so fast I can hardly believe it. Izwan my little baby, just turned 2 years old on 7/7/11 and he seems so different now.. he's a big boy and starting his 'terrible two' period which is driving all of us nuts. We managed to celebrate his birthday party though on that day, in the presence of family members only (I was postcall and so damn tired but the party must go on! Love u Izwan!)
So I guess that's all for now. Good luck to all mothers out there who find themselves multitasking (just don't break down yah?). Tomorrow's gonna be a long day.. will keep you posted.
