Be a happy 'professional' housewife

This month of March has been a very busy and full of emotional moments for Mama Tok. At the age of ...++ dealing with responsibilities of bringing up a family can be a very hectic job. You need strong guts and good planning to commit without boredom, ..and true passion to avoid feeling 'trapped'  inside your own home.

Ask any 'Professional Housewives' (or career mums), and they will admit that there's no any other job like it. It's full of mix feelings of happiness, sadness, stress, guilt and you name it!

Our life can get crowded with so many commitments-the husband, the children, the home, the career, the financial problems and of course the sheer repetitive routine of our daily life. It is hard work and many  admit to the moments of frustration and to the problems which seem for a while insoluble. Days or night when they feel not just tired but exhausted physically and mentally.

But why is that so many women keep 'applying for the job' where you are being  'overwork but underpaid'?

Mama Tok has no right to answer for other lovely ladies out there, but as for Mama Tok, being a housewife brings self- achievements and lasting satisfactions. 
It brings special rewards waiting and watching children grow. Their first smile, their first teeth or their first step.. bring a suprising pleasure.

As they grow older, watching them to school and graduate at higher instituition gives a feeling of achievement that goes beyond words.
Watching them getting married and experiencing being a grandmother makes Mama Tok cry of joy. 

Mama Tok Quiet Moments 'Soup For The Soul'

Along the way which feels like a full-scale assault course, the responsibilities seem to be no ending. But somehow.... the frustration passes by and the problems do sort themselves out.

If Allah can take care of us when we were in our mum's womb, He can easily take care of us when we were toddlers. 
If Allah can easily helps us to find our way out to this harsh world, He will also easily helps us to find our way out to our problems in our adult world.
If Allah helped us yesterday, He will endlessly help us today and tomorrow.
Just believe in Allah and He will always be there for you and me...
