Today would be a lazy day for me at my mother’s home. I will doing nothing here and just surfing net and watching television with the children and mother. I do not plan to go out for shopping too. I think I would only rest here and sleep until I can’t sleep anymore.. haha
I never dream or even think of become a stay at home mother. I could say that I actually scare to be a stay at home mother because I am having fair of being someone just like my mother who 24 hours stay at home doing house work, cooking and take care of the children. Although I am not a full time stay at home mother yet but already become part time stay at home mother. So far so good the feeling now. It is not as worst as I think before..haha
When I reach home after fetched elder daughter to school, this would reach the right time for hubby and youngest daughter who just woke up. Then is my second round of preparation. I have to ready some simple breakfast for youngest daughter, her breakfast would always be the easiest thing to prepare because she only needs a ¼ cup of milk. Haha..Get her drink the milk and helping her tie hair then time to send them out of home! Then only will be my own time at home.
I took 10 – 15 minutes to finish the preparation of breakfast and drink, included pack it nicely. Then another 10 minutes to change clothing, apply toner and lotion. And also the must do is weigh myself. Haha.. 99% of the time is I am waiting daughter at living while she still busy wearing school uniform and socks. Final part would always is tie her hair and leave home before 6.30am. Sending and back to home would spend me about one and half hour.
Walk up at 5.45am but love to lying on bed for another 5 minutes. I would wait for second alarm sound then only really wake up from bed. Then would be the time to prepare breakfast for elder daughter. Sometimes, I have to prepare according to her order which already give me at yesterday. Well, lucky those breakfasts use to be easy to prepare, if not I think I have to wake up at 5am already.
Hubby just sms me and informed me he would back home to have dinner with me. I though he not manage to reach home early today. He told me he only back from outstation around 1pm. I thought he would only reach home at 9pm. Well, now is two hours early he back home if he really want to take dinner with me. Anyway, I am appreciate what he offer but wish that he drive safe and reach home safely only.
I send my children to Thursday night class every week. The children are studying classic at up stair and the parent stay at the down stair for other topics. Sometimes we share the information we found interested with other parents. Sometimes the organizer would find something new for us. I like this kind of class actually. But I am a bit lazy to co-operate something and want to absent from class. Haha..Anyway, I will try to attend the class weekly.
Reunion dinner at Chinese New Year Eve already settles; I only have to headache about first day of CNY, because I have to cook. Some more have to cook vegetarian food..Oh my…Never cook this dishes before, I already consult my mother how to cook but since I have practice it, so really don’t know how it would taste. I hope they would not mind it taste good or bad. :p
Chinese New Year eve, brother in law decided to reunion with his wife’s sister family. They will come to his home to cook and reunion. My family and mother in law will reunion ourselves this year. I have not ask John we having reunion dinner at home or go out for dinner. I have to prepare to cook if reunion at home. Chicken and simple dishes should be ok for me. However, surely would not have traditional celebration dishes as I really do not know how to cook it. :p
John’s brother had an accident last week. Lucky there was no car when the accident happened; if not sure would be big problem already. Now brother in law and his wife are resting at home already. We just went to visit them yesterday. We discussed how is the CNY reunion dinner as my mother in law and brother in law’s wife could not cook this time. And I have no experience in cooking CNY dishes at all.
The children are the happiest people now. Tomorrow is a family outing for us. The children will meet others kids and play like no tomorrow. They have been waiting for such great moment very long time. And I could only bring this to them on holiday. Tomorrow would be the last trip for this school holiday. After this trip, they have to back to school and study again. I hope they are enjoying this trip.
John brings us to visit my sister last Saturday. I though he does not want to join us at the beginning but lucky he is not. I am very happy with his reaction in this trip as he is a perfect husband and father for the children. All are showed in the trip. He does not scare of boring to drive 4 hours journey just to visit my sister who stay far away. He also feels ok to stay at my sister home while I am bring the children to beach and shopping. My love to him increased after this trip. haha
John has to work today but he stills accompany the children and me for breakfast. We went out for breakfast at 9am and then he sent us back home at 9.45am. Now is the time for children and me only. I am busying online while the elder daughter is watching Cartoon and youngest is playing her own game. Have no idea what to do in the afternoon yet. Think probably would stay at home doing nothing only.
John is having high fever on Tuesday followed by me having sore throat and fever on Wednesday. We slept very early these two days especially me, slept at 8pm. After dinner and took some medicine, I could no stand but just want to sleep. So quickly back to bedroom and sleep early. Lucky today feeling better already.
Have a vacation in a winter country. John and I playing snow with the children, together with my parent and sister would be great! I love to travel with my family; I just love to share my happiness with them. The happiness is not only shared when we are traveling together, but also after we back home. We have so many happening in trip to chat. That is the best part of traveling together.
I have to cook for lunch today. I suppose to cook for dinner but we have to attend a festival tonight and they serve dinner too. I have bought ingredients so to avoid waste those ingredients. I better cook them lunch, if not I think I have no chance to finish those ingredients already. Chicken, pork, vegetables.. 3 dishes are enough for us already. haha
One day, John preparing some fruits for the children while I am busy folding clothes in bedroom. I bought grapes this morning, so he just took it out and cleaning in the kitchen. I am told him before toothpaste could clean the grape nicely, so he was using the toothpaste to clean as I told.
My daughter is very excited and can’t wait to eat the grapes, so she walking here and there just to see Daddy finish cleaning the grapes or not. After checked out few times, she could not stand anymore and ask her father why he do the cleaning so long time. Then, I heard she said: “why you using toothbrush? Mama does not use toothbrush cleaning grapes. She just mix toothpaste with water and clean inside the water. Very fast one…”
John has learned a new trick from his 4 years old daughter. Cleaning grapes with toothpaste does not need a TOOTHBRUSH!!!
Thank you to my lovely husband! We just back from a very nice 5 days 4 nights trip. John is very busy recently but he stills willing to accompany us no matter how busy he is. Of course, I have to inform him in advance where and when our trip is, so that he could arrange his work early. I know I should not occupy his working but I hope one or two trips a year is not over too. I need some break time too, and travel is what I like to do for break time.
I was planning to cook dinner for John on Sunday. Now have to forget about the plan because I forget to prepare all those ingredients. I do not even have rice at home! I usually would take some rice from my mother home if I want to cook at home next day. However, I forget to bring back the rice yesterday, so nothing to cook for tonight dinner already. Hmm.. Now I better think where we should go for dinner. 
Since John have to work on Sunday too. So, today we do not go out for breakfast. I have to cook for the children and of course for myself too. Here was what I cooked. Three half boiled egg, 6 sausages, 5 pieces bread and 2 pieces fish fillet. Three of us also have Kiwi Yogurt drink today. Simple yet delicious breakfast we have today. hahaa
Today is Sunday, I suppose to bring the kids to their grandmother house but I decided to stay at home without going anywhere. I though my elder daughter would be very happy to stay at home because she always want to watch Cartoon channel that do not have in my mother’s home. However, she is not. She said she want to go grandmother home just now. Later I only found that she forget to bring back her spectacle and that is the reason she want to go grandmother home. Hai..
John has to work after back from Ching Ming. Then, my sister and mother already bring the children to visit a relative, so I am at home alone now. It is always have con and pro to be alone.
The good side is I could do whatever I want without disturbing by the children. I could have a nap for 2 hours; I could sit in front of the computer to play games non stop. The con is I am feeling lonely suddenly! Hai..
Yesterday was a very nice day for me. John smsed me at around 5pm in the afternoon and ask me where should we go for dinner. We sent the children to my mother because of tomorrow Ching Ming. We do not want to send them to mother at the 5.30am in the morning, so no choice to sent them one day early. Because of this, John and I have a very free night. haha
Many people saying that you could see a mother character from her children, a child would always be the shadow of the mother or father. I agreed that child does have part of her mother or father shadow, as parent is the closer person to them. They pick up those characters from parent.
However, nowadays a child might not just copy parent attitude but also their nanny, grandmother, or whoever takes care of them daily. How to avoid kids learn their bad attitude is such a big problem now. As this is not the job of parent anymore, we need other people to co-operate. But convince other people to co-operate is the most difficult.
John went out for tea at first holiday night with friends. And I stay at my mother house at the second holiday night. I have a “drunk” gathering night with all the sisters at mother’s home accept youngest sister.
I arrange with John to take care of two children in the early morning already. He bring two girls back to apartment after dinner while I stay at my mother house and get drunk at night!
I have two days holiday starting from today. John already went to outstation for his project, so today I do not have to rush back home to bring him dinner. I could spend more time at my mother’s home and chitchatting with my sister. I always rush back home before my sister back home. Therefore, these two days would be nice chance for us to gather abit longer time.
John told me he is going to outstation tomorrow. I remembered he told me he would goes on Wednesday only but just suddenly depart on tomorrow? Well, I should not have any complain since he is going to work and not playing. Anyway, I already help him to pack some clothing and I hope he would come back soon. Its just another two days for New year! I hope he would be with us on that day.
John told me he is rushing for a project started last week. Before the project star, he wanted me to wake him up at 7am every morning so that he could leave home at 8am. I already wake him as what he wanted but guess what? He keep continue to sleep until 7.45am no matter how I wake him. John is such a lazy man in the early morning. He loves to be a snake on bed even already awake. Now he leaves home at 8.15am, 15 minutes late to work. Hope he still manage to reach office at time.
My sister is very busy recently. Well, she is not busy for her working but is busy for dating. Haha..Even John also saying that she might not as free as previously accompany us to go travel.
In fact, all of us are very happy because she finally found someone that loves her. We do not mind she spend more time with her boyfriend now. She deserves to get this good luck.
Don’t know what happen to John yesterday. He keeps doing house chores after I back to home. I saw him cleaning the kitchen, dining room, living room and even our bedroom and study room. Well, he should be very tire after work for a whole day in office but why he so hardworking to do cleaning work yesterday? Does he complain me no do house chore silently? Or he just simply want to clean the house?
