Assalamu'alaikum.
In exactly a week's time, marks a year of me being a SAHM. EEERRRMAGAAAAD!! Where has the time gone?? Made me question myself, what have I done this past year? I did nothing beneficial. i did nothing. I learned nothing. I earned nothing. I did not achieve anything.
But then again, I shouldn't be too hard on myself. This past year has been nothing short of awesome. I watched Adam grow and I wouldn't give up that for anything. I loved it. I'm still damn terrified of what's to come (parenting strategies and whatnot) but I am grateful for this past year. I'm blessed to be able to spend the year with him. I learned a lot about Adam and more so about myself. I was able to feel what it was like being a working mum and a stay at home mum and for that, I am beyond thrilled.
Not gonna lie, I miss having a legit amount of money in my bank account. I miss being able to buy that matte liquid lipstick, that pair of palazzo pants, that specific hijab that I want, that pretty stationary which I don't need, that cute romper for Adam and the list goes on and on and on. But I am contented with what I have and where I am in life now. Alhamdulillah.
I met the girls today. These were my colleagues when I used to work in a primary school. We used to be single and carefree. Now, not single and definitely not free(with our boys tugging every corner of our bajus) Look at us now. Can make soccer team. Alhamdulillah.
Thank you Allah for all you have given us.
Feeling emo and thankful (partly because Adam slept early today),
