Brother and Sister Love

Its been a looooooong time....

Its been a looooooong time since Dan and I have been able to have a night out together. Usually, we spend the day then go back to fetch the kids from my aunt's place on certain weekends. SO it was so wonderful to have some time as a couple and get away from the kids for a few hours. Even the din of a wedding dinnner was melodious to my ears!! I think I'm deprived!! hahaha!! But it was great to have the night out, indulge in nice food and wine and dine with friends. Think I need more of these to keep myself sane! Think Dan will faint when he sees this! Coz we had to pay a hefty angpow as well as several to the taxi drivers who ferried us and the kiddies later! Thanks dear for the hot date!

Facing a crossroad in mummyhood journey....

I was recently offered a job to work part time from home. I was pretty excited at the thought and felt that it would be a good chance to earn some extra money for our expenses and my vain needs too! I was pretty confident too that it would be manageable as both kiddies are more or less on a schedule.
So I went to check it out. The job offer was alot like my previous field of work in counselling and social work. I felt a twinge of nostalgia and suddenly began missing my working life a little. However, the more I listened, the more I realized that it was not feasible. Although it was from home, it would demand a vast amount of time networking, documenting, report writing and telecommuting with other organizations. How would I be able to make a professional call with my kiddies's "duet" in the background??
As I walked home, I began to realize the importance of the little everyday tasks that I do and not realize. Seeing to the needs of the home and the kids and having quality time with hubby would all have to take a back seat if I committed myself to take the job offer due to the nature of the work. Would it be fair to my hubby and kids to have more money but at the same time a stressed up and hassled mummy trying to balance yet another portfolio on my plate? Right now I'm a Wife, Mummy, Housekeeper, Cook, Nurse, Co-Disciplinarian, Mentor...would I be able to handle one more? I realized the answer was "No".
Looking at my two kids and hubby that night, I thanked the Lord for this experience to remind me why I had stopped working in the first place. It was because of my commitment to bring up my children the way I want to in the way of the Lord and not shortchange them. We all have roles to play in our lives. There will be a time when I can return to the work I love but I guess for me now, it is this. And I want to give it my all with the Lord's help and guidance.

I Bite

Krisal's two upper teeth came out while we were in Perth. Instead of the two front ones, the side ones came out first! Poor mummy and daddy got bitten by them when we tried to soothe them with teething gel!

Also crusing time has begun with the support of the furniture in the house. Can be hectic at times getting her out of trouble in the midst of the hustle and bustle of the day. But the good news is, she is getting bigger!! 9 months old!
