New knock off time.

missing time alone with my girls

It's February 1st. Today was the official day for me to knock off earlier from work. The time, 3 pm everyday.

Why the change?!! With orders pouring in, I am beginning to neglect my duties as a mother. There's too little time for me to spend with my girls. I'm beginning to feel guilty and I should feel guilty. It's just not fair for them. They are growing and they need time alone with me.

With me coming home after 5 pm previously, when at home, I was too engrossed with my orders and my concern was just to fulfill the orders. As soon as dinners over, I would be rushing the girls to bed so that I could finish my work. I also find myself dead beat when all's done. I didn't have enough rest, too.

It was not only affecting my health and my girls, it affected my job as a teacher, too. Without enough rest, I felt sleepy easily while at work. Now, that's not fair for my students.

After much consideration, I chose to knock off early. With the extra bit of time, I could do so many other things. Well, it's a pay cut for me but I can't be greedy, else everything will backfire, right. Hope everything goes well, :D!
