Mummy's Thoughts - Part 19

Eversince Dennis started his new career in July 2010, he has been very very very very very very busy... Just this 1 1/2 months in his new company, he has been in the three modes of transports - 海, 陆, 空. At least 5 times? Or maybe more? I must ask him. Haha... For every trip he travels, he will be away from home 1 day, 3 days, 5 days, latest count of days is 10 days for his current trip now.

Weekends start to get burnt and family time together probably will be lesser as well... I'm not complaining here. Just share my inner thoughts. So far I'm lucky that eversince Cayenne is borned, Dennis is always around to help out, spend time with us etc... As compared to some of my friends who husbands are mostly not around to help during weekends due to heavy workload. I should in fact count my blessings. Only because Dennis does a career switch which I fully supported his decision, he gets more busy. I must learn to adapt and adjust to his frequent "not arounds". ;p

Mummy's Thoughts - Part 18

Just browse through my blog. Realise that I haven't been writing about my thoughts for quite long. Too busy? Too tired? Too tied up with my Double Cs? Hmm...

It is ALL - Too busy, too tired & of cos too tied up with my Double Cs. Every week I always try to upload Double Cs' pictures and development & I have to do it during their naps' times. If not, I won't be able to sit down in front of my laptop. So every often, my uploads are always short and sometimes only pictures without words. Unlike the time I was still working, I could always write grandmother's stories. Oops... Sshh... Don't expose me that I "ate snake" during office hours. ;p

Being SAHM, really take up MOST of my time even though I have a helper at home. Once Double Cs are awake, I'm always racing with time to complete chores. I handle my Double Cs most of my time (bathing, feeding, learning etc) & I'm glad that I'm still able to do so till now. Very tired and energy "straining", I must admit. But since I'm not working, I cannot possibly let my helper does everything while I "shake" legs right? I still help out in the housework, some of my friends who have helpers told me that they never need to lift up their hands to do any chores. Good life man! ;p

For me, probably I'm a impatient and want everything to be done up fast. Abit unreasonable here. So at certain times, I do some chores too. Good for me too. Can help to burn some fats off, I hope. Haha...

Been sick on and off for almost 1 month plus! ME! Been coughing and having flu on and off. Suppose to be "coughless" but alas, my Dad cooked yummy chicken for lunch, I couldn't resist eating it so I'm coughing again. Dry cough. Very irritating! Guess what the old folks say are right, NEVER EAT CHICKEN IF COUGH.

In fact, The Chua Family has been sick! Even Jann. Only my Dad is the STRONGEST! Haha... ;p

Virus seems to "stay" in the house, passing to one another. My poor Double Cs have been having cough, flu & alot of phelgms. Seen doctors thrice! I wonder when they can recover fully. Heartpain to see them cough, heartpain to see them take so many medicines! ;( Doctor blames on the weather. What else? Asked me to bring Double Cs out in the sun to "kill" away the virus and germs... Been doing all these while since I stay at home. Always bring them go downstairs. At least twice a day!

I really wish my Double Cs can get well soon!

A BIG step taken!

I finally did it! ALONE with my Double Cs! ;p

I brought Double Cs to BP Plaza this morning ALONE. Didn't bring helper along. As she was doing household chores, I decided to take this step OUT to bring my Double Cs shopping myself!

Upfront, I told Cayenne to behave herself while in the library - NO take off of her shoes, NO jumping, NO running around. MUST hold Mummy's hands while crossing the road. She agreed before we set off. Well, I didn't take her "YES" seriously as she tends to forget after a short while. But of cos throughout the journey, I kept reminding her. And she also asked me if she could, think she was trying her luck. But I firmly said "NO".

We stayed in the library for at least half an hour and borrow 10 books! Hee... After that, shopped awhile before heading home.

There was this kind hearted lady who offered her help to push the baby stroller while I carried Cayenne to cross the road. I told her it was alright, I could manage myself. She then offered again to carry Cayenne while I pushed the stroller. Haha... Very nice lady right. I politely told her that I could do it myself and also wished to manage all by myself so that I could do without a helper. Hee... But anyway, she is very nice to walk together with me to help me look out of the traffic.

She told me not easy to handle two kids at the same time as she is a mother of two. & same as me, she didn't like having helper around so she resigned from her job recently to take care of her 2 kids herself. Well, her kids now already P3 & P5. Should be much easier to take care than mine, I suppose? Hee... ;p

I thanked her for her help and we parted. Happily walking towards the LRT while pushing the stroller and Cayenne walking beside me, munching happily her "blue" biscuits. ;)

When we about to reach the station, Cayenne told me "Mummy, train cannot eat biscuits, later then eat." & she passed me the half pack of biscuits. I was so so so proud of her! I reinforce the message to her again. "Yes, baby. You are right. When we are in the train, we cannot eat biscuits. So later after we alight the train, Mummy will let you eat the biscuits again." She looked at me and smiled. At that moment, I tell you. My heart melted! My girl is such a babe! Very sensible angel! ;)

Overall, the short trip to BP Plaza was great! No hiccups. *Lucky* ;p Double Cs behaved well. ;)

I will try to bring Double Cs out myself more often! ;)

National Day 09th August 2010, Monday

Went to IMM to do some short shopping.

Little Assistant Baker

Jann decided to bake some yummy banana muffins on National Day. She "invited" Miss Chua to help out in the process. Look @ her, Cayenne was mashing the bananas! After that, she helped to clean the muffin tray. What a great little assistant! ;)

Shopping @ CCK Lot 1 on 05th August 2010, Thursday

Decided to bring Double Cs to Lot 1 for some shopping and yes we went to the library again! Haha... Borrowed 8 books! Cayenne was so happy!

After that, I bought a pair of sandals with squeaky sound for Cayden and a pair of "girl girl" minnie mouse shoes for Cayenne. Cayenne loves her new shoes alot!

Cayden was fascinated over his new pair of sandals cos yesterday I let him walked on the playground, he was "shocked" to hear the sound and then he dared not walk. Haha... But after a short while, he started his walking. Hee...

Slide again! 06th August 2010, Friday Evening

Yesterday was quite warm. After Double Cs woke up from their naps, Cayenne asked me to bring her to play slide again. Well, it has been bored to stay home yesterday. So I packed some snacks and water and brought Double Cs to nearby playground for an hour slide. ;)
