Somewhere over the rainbow…

Counting Down

My office is very noisy again. Kids are back to their menace selves, and they can be very annoying then they are bored and playful! Luckily, they can still sit still and do some work once in a while and let all of us work in peace. If not, I think I need some bluetooth stereo headphones or earmuffs to cover my ears.

I’m counting down to the day when school starts again. We can visit the school to buy the uniform and books next week, and school orientation starts a week after. I am so eager for school to start!

Kiddie Meet Up

Even if our kids will attend a new school next semester, but they are still seeing some of their ex schoolmates once in a while. It’s all up to the mothers’ initiative and effort now as the kids are too young to call or visit their friends. So far, I’m trying to let Justin see one of his BFF for swimming in the weekend, and it’s great seeing them having fun together while his mom and I chat.

Our last meet up was like 3 weeks ago, and Justin missed his friend a lot. Isabelle on the other hand, it’s ok about not seeing her friends, unless we bump into each other at the local malls. I thought of setting up a mini party for her on her birthday last weekend, but then realized that I don’t have most of the contacts. Ooops…

Anyway, she has a small celebration with her cousins in Ipoh and then a nice dinner with my parents and FIL, so she’s perfectly happy with her birthday celebrations.

Maybe we will meet with Justin’s friends again this weekend. Hopefully, it won’t rain, or the sports center is having a pool lift, or his friend has other plans!

Lunch

I’m running out of idea where to bring my kids for lunch on working days, they just like to stick to a few of their favorite places and I’m getting geli of going in so frequently. Luckily, they won’t request those fattening fast food stores because I told them I don’t want to be fat and take myonox later.

I found just found out that school starts on 23 May. So, officially, there are 60 days to go before school starts!

Long School Break

I admit that the kids are driving me nuts during their long school break, but I got to spend more time with them and I should cherish these precious moments. When they are not fighting nor screaming on the top of their lungs, they are pretty good kids.

I try to get them to do some worksheets, and so far so good. Even if Isabelle keeps coming up with excuses of not finishing her work, but it’s still done by the end of the day. Hopefully, we can complete those workbooks I bought within this school break.

Once in a while, I will just sit by them and watch TV together. I try to get home earlier than letting the kids spend too much time at the office. They can surely tear the whole place down when they are bored.

Some times, we will talk about things, such as the latest catastrophe in Japan. It’s good to see that they are getting more matured and knowing more about what’s going on in the world. I also managed to ask Justin what’s his ambition, and guess what? He just wants to be a pet shop owner! LOL!

As for Isabelle, she changes her dreams all the time. But so far, she mentions being a veterinarian the most. Let’s see how things go when they have grown up.

Boiling

My high blood pressure days begin today, with the kids tagging along to work and driving me nuts. I am so easily agitated, but I’m trying my best to control my temper at the office. If not, everyone might get freaked out!

I’ve talked to the kids, they will be at home with the part time nanny when she’s coming in to clean the house. I won’t mind dirty floor nor oily kitchen faucets and tiles, as I know it’s not easy to handle 3 kids (hers is coming along too), and she’s heavily pregnant too. She will stop after this month, and will only continue after her confinement. Another headache for me as I need to handle the house chores alone or try to get another cleaner!

Ok, I will think about that later. At least the kids will be at home with her for 2 working days a week, and I can be more efficient on those days.

Vitamins

I stopped taking daily multi vitamin for some time but I don’t think hubby is taking it everyday too. That’s why the stocks are piling up again!!! Aiyo, we really have to finish them before expiry date, or maybe we can just give some away?

The only one who has discipline in taking vitamins is Justin. He remembers mostly, and he will take all that is needed. What a good boy. As for my gal, she will only take the chewable vitamin and that’s it! She doesn’t know how to swallow most pills and I better don’t let her try. She’s still too young for it.
