There are just a lot of preparations and things to do this December. First and foremost, my son's birthday, then there is our Christmas party dance presentation (which is really not my thing), have to buy gifts and we are having this sports fest in which I'm one of the participant. And that's just for the start of the holidays...
Been going home late for a couple of weeks now... we've been practicing for our dance and games. Just glad I have an understanding wife, though there were really days that she's on duty, and had to go home early to take care of the kids and their needs. Especially, that we still have a baby. So, I just make an extra effort to compensate with the practices I missed by doing it at home after all chores is done.
Good thing our company is generous enough not only to compensate us but also for the Christmas gift it gave us, something we could use for the coming holidays and other family needs. I may say, it wiped out all weariness and provided the needed boost to all employees... LOL. But seriously, it's already a big blessing to our family, helps a lot with the expenses.
I think, we just can't forgo some extracurricular stuffs in our workplace. I just think of it as part of my social growth or if it can't be helped, the pay I received. I guess, I'm just not comfortable doing such stuffs now because of my responsibilities to my kids. Maybe later things, like my priorities, will change as my kids would grow up. Family first, that won't change... but at the same time, in order to support them, need to do well with my job and with the people around it. Time management, easily said than done... hahaha. Yahweh bless.

I agree with this. Family first then we have to do well with job (i have to get a job) to support my little kiddo. Pero syempre hindi naman masama mag happy happy kahit paminsan basta alam ang limits and yung time management use it wisely! :)
ReplyDeleteChristmas gifts and bonuses during Christmas really lightens up the load because it's a really expensive season.
ReplyDeleteWhat dance are you doing? Who taught the choreography? Wow all boys? Haha, it must be exciting.
ReplyDeleteI hear you. I used to work in an office but I've since moved on to working online. Although my job now is a lot more demanding when it comes to work output, I wouldn't swap it for another office stint. One reason (which may seem trivial to some) is that I am now no longer required to dance during Christmas parties. Lol
ReplyDeletevery nice news this Xmas! it is indeed very hard to budget things specially when you have kids and a baby to look after too. I've been there done that. atleast at the end of the day everyone is happy this xmas!
