Was busy all of last week and part of this week so i didn’t have any time to write here in my blog. So what was I doing? Facing the inevitable…applying for a job!

Finances are really tight at the moment and while I’ve found lots of site that helps me look for ways to make money on line, I haven’t made any money yet cause for the most part of it I’m still at the learning stage. So while part of me is looking forward to working again the other part is already feeling guilty about not being always available for the kids. I mean they know Mummy goes to the office in the afternoon but whenever I’m needed at home I had the choice of not going to the office and just working from home. But as our business is kinda at a slump at the mo so that’s why am looking for a job. Never been afraid of hard work it’s just the guilt part that’s killing me! It’s the usual dilemma for most moms out there – to work or not to work? That is the age-old-question. But is there really any good answer to that question. And how come men never have to worry about this question?! I asked my hubby one night, if I were to become filthy rich all of a sudden would he feel threatened by me? Would he quit his job and stay home with the kids? Amazingly enough he said “NO!” to the first question and “YES!” to the second. While we women do struggle with wanting to juggle being a career woman and super mom and wife at the same time, some men, like my hubby, would actually welcome the chance to stay home with the kids and have the time to send them to school, help them with homework and play with them because they do get really tired of going to work everyday and not having enough time for the family.(Ok wait! What about housework, you say? Well, my hubby is still a man after all and he’d only be willing to be a stay-at-home dad if we have a maid to help with the housework!!!). The guilt gets to them too but I don’t think it’s as bad for them as it is for we women because it is in us to always want to nurture, protect, guide and everything else that we Mommies do!

I haven’t told my hubby yet that I’ve applied for a job. I’ll cross that bridge when they call me for the interview! But for now, am already silently suffering with my decision which caused me a sleepless night last night…

Skipped my morning jog today so I could listen in on Aaron Abber’s mentoring group meeting. (Ok, so some of you are probably wondering what the hell time is it here since the meetings takes place at 7pm Eastern Time! Well, I live half way around the world from the US so that would be a  12 hours time difference) Instead did some strength training here at home and really worked on my abs and glutes!!! Really want to get in shape before my nephew’s wedding middle of next month.

Gotta make this short because right now I have a headache.

The weekend was a little quiet and sad as two of my hubby’s cousins passed away in a horrific accident. All in all five people were killed including the driver of the other car and his wife and the husband of one of my hubby’s cousin.

While I did not know his cousins very well they were still on my mind the whole day. I especially felt sorry for the children. Two boys are now orphaned all because someone wanted to save a minute of his time in driving, and now even he is dead. One of the boys is 19 years old and will be going to college soon. As if it weren’t difficult enough that the university has to be so far away but now to lose both parents at a time of his life when he needs them the most! And his little brother….his little brother is 6 years old. My heart breaks.

Before we heard of the accident, that afternoon I had taken the twins and one of my daughter for a ride in the car. And all throughout the drive we saw accidents left and right, five in all. After seeing the third accident I told myself to just take it slow driving as I had the children in the car with me. And when we got the call from my sister-in-law later that evening I couldn’t help but thank God that I listened to my gut feeling and took it slow driving. To think that all those lives were lost-three of them died on the spot- just to save a few minutes in traveling time. Hardly worth it…

Gosh! As much as I enjoy blogging everyday there is just SO MUCH to learn about it! (Again, newbie here so just bear with me!!!) It just gets so overwhelming at times! Heck just going through the FAQ is stressing me out!

But because I love to read and learn, I’m really having lots of fun doing this! I just need to learn how to pretty up my blog site and be patient in getting viewers to read my blogs!

As I mentioned in my last post, LifeFoc.us is a new site by Aaron Abber. I love this site because it not only offers loads of info on things like making money online but also ways to succeed in life not only financially but also in other areas of your life. To be wealthy financially, spiritually, mentally, physically, socially and emotionally.

So, for those of you looking for more than just a website that offers financial freedom, here is one that will help you achieve wealth in all aspect of your life:

So the past week I’ve really been learning how to make money online. Besides the Aaron Abber’s mentoring group I’ve started looking into other ways I can make money online as I’m new to this blogging thing and kinda strap for cash at the mo.

I read this great article at LifeFoc.us(a new site by Aaron Abber!). It was really informative and helped me a lot. For newbies like me, the article even had a step by step guide to help you in finding ways to make quick cash on line.

Had a relatively relaxing weekend with my family. Weekends are off days from the computer for me- it’s family time. Having celebrated my 2nd daughters birthday last Wednesday we decided to top it off by going swimming at the club Sunday morn. Finished it off by having a big birthday lunch there before heading back home to relax for the rest of the day.

I’ve heard a lot about blogging over the years but was never really interested in it. Up until recently I’ve never really read other people’s blog, that is until my hubby mentioned some to me. It’s spiked my interest and to cut a long story short, I realized that there is something after all this blogging stuff. Heck! You can even make money blogging!

So here I am putting my thoughts down on my computer while learning more about blogging. I’m a newbie here (don’t really now what a link or widget is yet! LOL) and there really is a lot to learn. I don’t exactly have all the time in the world to just sit here for hours and do improvement on my site cause I am, afterall, a part-time stay-at-home-mom and part-time working mom (am usually at our company office after lunch), who has to shuffle between sending my daughters to school, cooking our meals, running our business and whatever else errands I have to run be it using my mom hat or my business woman hat!

But, another reason I’ve started this blog is due to Aaron Abber. He suggested I start this blog while I learn more about making money blogging through his mentoring group. To check out his site just click on Make Money Blogging text on the Blogroll(right).

I’ve read a lot of people talking or teaching about blogging but Aaron is the best. He is not only very informative but honest as well. And always ready to help!

Went jogging this morning after dropping my daughters off at school. Been trying to loose the flab around my tummy after having the twins almost 3 years ago. For those of you 30 somethings moms out there, have you ever noticed how after you turn 30 it’s soooo much harder to loose the weight! It’s like there’s this law that is passed saying, “You are now 30 years old. You can no longer eat anything you want without putting on weight!”. Although friends and family tell me I look great for a mother of 4, and I do think that I look pretty good for my age, it’s that little bit of “spare tire” round my wait that really gets to me. Especially when I wear my jeans and my muffin top shows! Yeah, yeah! I seen all the makeover show on Oprah telling us to get the right size jeans so we don’t have muffin tops but when your budget is tight it’s not like you can just go out and buy several new pairs of jeans. Besides, I’ve always enjoyed exercising(bet loads of you are saying, ” Is she nuts?!”). There may be times I really have to mentally push myself but whenever I don’t exercise I feel sluggish the whole day. Besides, it’s good for your bones and overall health!

While I do enjoy exercising, I also loooooove food! Don’t get me wrong. I don’t go stuffing my face with so much food that I regret it later. What I mean is I enjoy food, good food. Sure I’d eat a Big Mac now and then but I also watch what I eat. I don’t really go on diets. I just follow the rule that on the first feeling of fullness stop eating(especially during lunch) and I seldom have a big dinner. My down fall…chocolates! Dark, extra dark, hersheys kisses or reese’s peanut butter cups. Any kind of chocolate! So due to my love of food and cooking, trying to loose the extra pounds ain’t exactly easy now. But every now and again I remind myself that I did have twins after all and boy was I big (look at Angelina Jolie now and that’s about the size I was when I was carrying the twins). So I guess I can be excused?! Yeah, right!
