Back at Work

It's been 2 days back at work for Mommy. Things were already rolling in as Mommy met her bosses and read through her emails. Basically it's one update after another since Mommy has been away for 6 months. Seems like it's going to be a real busy time, starting with hosting a regional conference 2 weeks away. Hearing from the members, it looked like there's still quite some stuff undone. Thereafter, it's work, work and more work all lined up till the end of the year. Being away for 6 months, Mommy still got arrowed in her absence for work to be completed. It's a rather scary thought knowing how busy things can get. Mommy is simply just taking a day at a time now. Somehow time has to be arranged to be with the kids. Effectiveness at work is important so hopefully Mommy doesn't have to lug work back or stay back too late.

Working with night wakings can be quite tough. It's especially so when it hits the afternoon. Mommy just felt sleepy that she had to literally prop her head up while working on the computer. The mind has to adjust to being back at work too.

Abel is still down with a rather badly congested nose and we had to sleep without aircon the past few nights. Really hope he recovers quickly so that Mommy can get better rest as he's waking more frequently at night. Everyone too can return to sleeping in the cool of the aircon. Having been so used to sleeping in an aircon room, it can be rather warm to do without.

Keziah is still as sticky as usual and still hasn't gotten out of crying in the morning before going to school. In fact, yesterday Mommy started work and it began the routine of her being picked up by Ta Ta and Nei Nei only. Apparently, she looked for Mommy when she realised she wasn't there to pick her up and even kicked up a fuss when Nei Nei showered her down for the night. The night was terrible too, with her reverting to waking up crying several times looking for Mommy. Well, on one hand, it felt so good that you are missed, but yet it's too tiresome for this to keep repeating itself. Children are just so sensitive to change, or maybe it's just our little gal!

do you guys bring K out often? may be it will help if she gets to interact with new people and new surroundings. parks and beaches are good places for k to run around and be carefree. playgrounds are good too cuz she gets to interact with other children in a non threatening environment.

i also bring c to bookshops like popular cuz she can read books and touch stuff and then i will tell her that such books and interesting materials can be played and read in schools too. does she have cousins or neighbours that she can play with during the time she spends at home? it can help too.
