Constant Juggle

So I wouldn't be able to run if I was not a multi tasker. The list of tasks to juggle is just endless. Being a mom of three (2 when i had just picked up running), a wife (i cook, mind you, bake at times), working mom and the latest addition is a student. Was a student before, for 2 years when i was already a mum, but i did not have running to my list of things. And now am back to student mode, with 3 kids, 1 is still a baby, and what better way to ensure everything run at the same time rather than to multi task and juggle. It's a good thing that the colleagues decided that we should do a group study and every one was tasked with their own task. i had my last minute preparation, and how i did it was, by way of studying while driving. the steering was not seen in the pix below but i swear i was inside the car. 

We used to have night classes every friday, which will only finish at 9, sometimes later..lucky the class is over, for now. We are due for exam in november, thats why the revision has started. 

Back to the juggle and multi tasking, I simply juggle everything that can be thought of and possible to be done. Being a nursing mum, I drive while pumping. I would work with my laptop while pumping but the nursing room is a bit inconvenient for me to do it. If pump while driving is not extreme enough, I pump while cooking, cleaning (when I had no maid). My morning ritual now would be to get ready, get downstairs with the kids, strap on the pumpshield, attach the required parts and start pumping. Once done, I would put the makeup on, get the morning supplements (multivit and iron pills), mix my milk and if I feel like bringing breakfast, spread some peanut butter on to the sandwich. I would even do some shake if I feel like it.

So that's how I manage it, filling in running into the already busy routine. Running I think takes up about 1 fifth to 1 sixth of my life. But it's necessary. For my sanity. Im a bit temperamental. I can be nice, but once my temper button is pressed, it can be ugly. Aminsyah once said that I need to have anger management session. I noticed I have not been angry like I used to for a long time. When I do, Aminsyah, the kids and sometime the maid, would be the victims. Now, even when I have things which

I'm not satisfied about, I can find ways to reason with it. To put it solely on the endorphin, there'll be lots of other times that I will be without it..the endorphin would subside after maybe half of a day.  But I sure know the reason but I will leave it to another entry. This is about juggling and multitasking...speaking of which, this entry was written starting when I was at work while pumping, up until when I was driving back in the car, and seems to take its finishing while waiting for dinner while carrying and comforting Qaisar. Godbless technology...the possibility seems endless with it.
