Having a cuppa by myself while joy is off to the dentist doing her adjustments. Once a mth, we will spend our time at Starbucks; catching up on her interesting school life and little gossips.. its so comfortable to be around her..hahah.. she can b a friend or a sister..and i definitely didn't need to "mother" her around or care for her like little children. I'm enjoying my tween before she develops to a teenager or morphs to a rebel (praying that God gives me enough wisdom when that happens) .
Its tough being a tween, when I peeks into her instagram account. I know she struggles with her friendships and she can b too blunt or rude. But this is a stage of growing up I guess.. that one needs to find a balancing point on her own. At times I find it a pity that she no longer keep in touch with any of her pri sch classmates but this topic is sensitive and I will wait for her to b ready to tell me. I know she is struggling but she wants to handle it on her own. So patiently, I will trust to let go.
There's so many updates that I wanna do since my last entry but haven't gotten the time to do it.
Or how I've finally completed this..
It took me longer than I expected but its by far my largest project. I know I almost cried while doing Big bird coz i had miscalculated along the way, and it was deciding between unstitching and redoing or just bulldozer all the way. And I had to do a mix of both eventually...i probably go back and design the sesame Street lamp post..when I'm done with the urgent Aug stitching projects.
Work wise, it has been so crazy since I've picked up zoom.. the hectic schedule got so bad that I told J that I will do a slow aug for now.. i was tired and completely drained out bcoz zoom has become so convenient that I literally have zoom everyday; be it weekdays or public holidays. I'm thankful for the high production but I also would appreciate a small break. I need to pause, smell the flowers and enjoy my kids a little. I wanna be there for them; not just be in their presence but be around them as well..
Health wise, I have 2 sick people at home at this very moment. Grace got rejected in school today for having a fever n was given 5days mandatory MC by our fav PD. Grounded again. William has cataract.. we got it diagnosed yday and that explains his sub par vision and tiredness after driving. The scheduled op would b on 19th Aug.. we would have preferred to do it during the September hols but his eyesight seems to deteriorate badly with each passing day that we called the clinic to push forward the op. I know cataract isn't any major op, but with him, it is a HUGE matter for me. Simply bcoz he has a long list of pre existing conditions and he holds the fort at home. (I've already had 2 sleepless nights), and that's also why i decided to do slow aug.. i want to be around for him and the girls.
On social media
I deactivated my FB (again). Today is the 10th day! Yeah! It felt longer than it actually was. The pros of it is ive freed up more time bcoz of this; the cons is i would b missing on media updates la..but close friends will still keep me in the loop la..hahha.. not sure how long the fast would last..but we will take it as each day passes..
Thankful for the blessings God has showered upon our household and his protection upon us as well..
