Things
Modern moms have a need of modern gadgets. And for me, the two gadgets I couldn’t do without are my laptop and my mobile phone. These are not what I have wanted for so long, but these are the stuffs I need to make sure that being a laborer in the company and a wife, at the same time, a mother at home will be working at an optimum level.
My laptop is very important, because I am doing a lot of paper works most of the time. I’m in a constant typist at the same time a researcher. I need to encode data, monitor our company’s plan, and even distribute information to different people in the United States and even across the globe. I’m just thankful that web browsing is already available everywhere I go.
More than that, my laptop is my comfort zone, especially if I’m a little bit stressful. I would often create romantic cards and letters for my husband, and colorful drawings for my sons, using photo editing and drawing software.
My cellular phone is very important because my husband, Jeremy, and my two sons, Labron and Jamal, would often call me and ask me for something. I’m also contacting them to pacify my worries and anxieties, especially if I am away from them for a long time.
How difficult life will be for me without these gadgets. Surely, I will be having a hard time in my job, and in getting in touch with my family. I’m just thankful that modern days have proliferated handy stuffs to aid me in my everyday life.
Family
My husband, Jeremy, has been very good husband for me, and the ideal father to our sons, Labron and Jamal. I believe that he belongs to the list of the best husband, at the same time, the best father in the world. And for being such, I would like to prepare a birthday party for him. It may not be the grandest, or the most luxurious party in the world, but I can assure my self that it is the best I can give for him.
The first thing I need to ponder on when preparing a birthday party for a husband is to review his personality. I need to list down what he likes, as well as what he hates. Jeremy loves to have a golf tournament and a drinking session. But since I’m only planning a simple house party, the golf thing is out. I don’t want to have broken windows around the neighborhood. Drinking session can still be considered, but heavy alcoholic drinks is definitely “no-no!” I don’t want that the party will end up dirty and rough. Mature men, like my husband, should already discern the pros and cons of too much alcohol consumption. So
Since my husband is a chef, the most difficult part in preparing his birthday party is on how to impress him with my own cooking. I’m not a good cook like him, but I can mix, blend, roast, fry, sauté, bake, roll, dice, and many more. I acquired my cooking abilities through experience and by just looking at him every time he prepares our dinner. I won’t consider catering services, because I believe that the best way to impress my man is through my own cooking. But how about asking him to cook instead? After all it is his birthday, and he needs to treat the ones he love, isn’t it? I’ll just take care of the home cleaning and arrangement instead (now, that’s one thing I’m already thinking about!).
Holidays
I am Miranda and like most mothers I experience the pressure of making the Christmas holiday a momentous occasion for our families. Being a mother of two kids namely Jamal and Labron is difficult enough. Not to add the usual daily routine I do when reminding my husband Jeremy of things to buy during the holidays. I have to accomplish a seemingly insurmountable task of preparing a decent Christmas celebration. It is expected mothers should take care of the planning and making sure that the family experience the best occasion. The task could have been easier if I was a full time mom. However, I have to cram up my schedules because of my work as a chemical engineer. Being able to budget my time is usually what makes it really challenging. Accomplishing both task of managing work commitments and family affairs could really take its tool in your body. The stress could sometimes take over. There are times when I could easily get angry even the slightest mistakes. I usually take deep breathing exercises in order to relax myself.
Preparing for the Christmas holidays requires hard work. Even so, it is still worth the effort. Seeing the smiles from my two kids could really take away all those worries I have. This is what the holidays bring to families. It gives you a time to bond with your kids and husband. Christmas only comes ones a year and it is definitely worth your effort making it something memorable.
Holidays
I’m a 35 years old woman, and I’ve been working very well for my family for the past ten years. Every Christmas, I would often wish for my husband, Jeremy, to give up alcohol drinking, because I don’t want him to get intoxicated. I am also wishing that my eldest son Labron, would find the perfect girlfriend, and he will would break his two-month relationship record, which is the longest he ever had with a girl. For my youngest son, I am wishing that he will finally be considered in the basketball varsity team, or better enough, he will be winning the national swimming championships, which he really likes to achieve for the past two years now.
And for myself, I’m just wishing for promotion in the company. I’ve been working there for almost ten years, and even Santa Clause is already wondering why I never had a chance to get a step higher in the organizational chart. In addition, this year’s wishes will be a lot different for myself. Aside from the getting promoted, I am also wishing that we would be able to travel Kuala Lumpur, Dubai and Seoul next year. Ever since, I wanted to see the Petronas Towers, have a taste of Korean food and culture, and visit the grandest hotel in the Arab world. I will surely be in high spirits when I reach these places together with my family. But still, these are only wishes, or aspirations. I may never know if Santa will grant me this, or he will first consider for my boss to promote me in the company. Either of which, I would be a happy person, and I will surely be wishing for more next Christmas season.
Family
Like other moms out there, I am dreaming of the best things for my family. And one of my desires is having a family vacation at a destination that you would never forget for the rest of your life. I have been talking to my husband, Jeremy, about this, and I am very happy that he is willing to go wherever I want to go. At this point of time, he coincides with my decisions. I love to go to beaches, and he agrees with me. I do not like to spend family time at movie houses, and it is very much okay with him.
So the spot will be finalized to a beach. And I made a list of five beaches around the globe. And since we are a little bit financially constraint, we must only choose one destination, so that means that we cannot have a tour on the four other beaches. And besides, budgeting is one of the consideration when you have a family tour, isn’t it? You don’t want to spend everything you earn and go back home empty-handed.
After a thorough deliberation and researching over the web, my husband and I have finally made our decision, and it will be at the majestic island of Maldives. It is the ideal place for a family to experience the cool blue waters, the gold sunrise and sunset, as well as the tranquil atmosphere. There are lots to see in this little island of Maldives. Moreover, we would love to experience exciting stuffs like snorkeling, scuba diving, water skiing, eating beach food, and of course having a relaxing beach combing experience.
Things
A wife or a mother’s nest will probably be the kitchen. It is also oftentimes regarded as her comfort zone. But not for me; it is my husband’s haven where he showcases his expertise as a chef. If I want a scrumptious meal for dinner, I would often stay away from the kitchen while my husband if doing his stuffs. Or if I want to enter his zone, I would almost certainly just raise a few questions regarding the ingredients, with my hands in my back. There will be no touching of kitchen utensils and ingredients, not even that tiny thyme leaf.
I know he hates it when I talk a lot, especially doing my extemporaneous complaining on things that is ambiguous or peculiar in my sense. It is better to shut up than to suffer a lousy Mediterranean Lasagna plate. But it is not all military scenes in the kitchen. My husband would sometimes ask me to hold the turkey while he stuffs it with aromatic fillings he only knew. Even I, his wife, don’t know what is it consists of.
Oftentimes, he would embrace me or put his arms around my waist, kiss me on the cheeks and ask me what I want for dinner. The choices would often be chicken, beef, pork or vegetables. If I choose to have chicken for a meal, I would be surprised that after an hour and a half, there’s a Hawaiian Chicken Wings on the table. Not only that, there are extra plates consist of Garlic Butter Grilled Fillets, Broccoli Chicken Bake, Hearty Chicken Potsticker Soup, and a Holiday Mix ‘n Match Pudding Pie for dessert. Are we having a party here, or am I just overwhelmed of the food?
So that’s it, if I want to have the best for dinner, trouble in the kitchen is not allowed. That is, the number one rule on that spot in our house is “for your eyes only!”
