Nice start..or is it?

2nd day into school and new routine and all is well. Back to the good old days where I can have a peaceful morning with Ee and Min in school and alone at home with Hao. My mornings are for having a good breakfast with Hao, revising his school work and chatting with him about school, preparing his lunch and then sending him off to the school bus. Afternoons I'll have to fetch Min from school, settle lunches and getting him to nap before I can have a quiet moment with Ee and get him to do some school work, before Min gets up again and spending time with them till dinner time. In a way I am rather happy that I no longer need to cook dinner since mum will be doing the cooking while I help her with Ash while playing with the boys. Spending afternoons over at mum's place with the kids is definitely better than loitering at in laws home waiting for them to come back home and cook dinner. Makes me feel like I am wasting time and just waiting for them to serve me :P I'd rather not be seen and be out.

Tomorrow will mark the end of June and Thurs, the beginning of July. Time is really flying faster and faster without us noticing it when we are busy with our everyday routine. It seemed just yesterday that Hao was a little baby in my arms and viola! he's already 8 years old. Ash will be a year old in less than 2 months' time and it'll be exciting to see her starting to walk with her chubby fat legs LOL Certainly hope for an uneventful second half of the year and a better 2011 compared to 2010. I would think before I can think of my resolution for year 2011, time will have already past and we would have reach year 2011. It's scary to just think of how fast we will age and the strands of grey hair making their grand appearance amongst my black hair nowadays. I had always been told that ladies are afraid of getting old, but little did I realise I'll be one of them too. Sigh...

End of holidays....

Sob sob for all...its the last day of the June school holidays and tomorrow, all the kids will be starting their old routines again..attending school, CCAs, doing homework, waiting for the exams to come and also the weekends to come :P

I think a lot of parents will be more sad than the kids as we will be more busy than them once school starts. Who would have guessed that parents love the school holidays more than the kids LOL

Tomorrow will be a brand new start for us with Hao getting on the new school bus with new timing, and I'll need to set a new routine with new timings to ferry the kids to school and then fetching them back when class end. Afternoons will be spent at mum's place and then back home after dinner. It's not going to be easy but everything has got to work out for me no matter what happens.

Now I just hope the kids will sleep earlier tonight and wake up on time tomorrow for their classes in the morning...

New Chapter..

We have finally moved in and more or less settled down. I am not sure what term should I describe where moved...should it be new home, or room, or in laws' place, or??? Maybe I should just called it our 2 ROOMS LOL. Anyway, I am pretty amazed how we managed to moved our stuff from our EA to our 2 rooms at in laws place. Most stuff except the kitchen and our furniture. We only packed our bags (or should I say boxes) with our personal stuff, beds and TV set. The only downside is that we have barely enough space to move around in our rooms.

This aside, the kids have settled in pretty comfortably. Even though the size of their room is much smaller in comparison to the space they used to have, but I hadn't heard complains from them. They've managed to get around their daily routine in the small space and make do with what they have now. Really great kids. As for me, I've gone around to slowly build my own routine and way of doing things. The good thing is I am free of housework now, which means I have more time to spend with the kids. The not so good thing is that once school reopens, I'll be spending more time and effort to fetch and ferry the kids to and from school. All will only be tested when school actually starts again in 1.5 weeks' time. Meanwhile, I'll just try and do what I can.
