I have been absent from work for two days now because my
daughter’s nanny had a very important matter to attend to. She had her medical
examination at her agency because she plans to leave the country for Saudi to
be an OFW (Overseas Filipino Worker).
(Sigh.)
If you’re a working mom who is not accustomed to doing
household chores, staying at home could be stressful, rather than peaceful. In
my case, I am used to working at my station the whole day with occasional
meetings and other professional transactions. So when my nanny left for an
urgent concern, I felt like my routine was somehow disrupted. I couldn’t focus.
Or perhaps I’m a certified workaholic now that I can’t help thinking of my
current projects.
But you know what, moms? There is one beneficial thing about
working moms’ nannies’ unplanned days off – mothers get to bond with their children
longer; so, they get to discover their children’s milestones which they often miss
out. Like today, I have seen my baby Deirdre lie down on her stomach. It was a
delightful sight!
Long weekend starts tomorrow. It’s going to be a long
working weekend.
