<![CDATA[October is here!]]>I really enjoy Christmas as to me it's the happiest time of the year. The kids and I usually spend like a whole week to decorate our house for Christmas. So much fun ๐Ÿ™‚


That's the reason why it drives me to create a dedicated blog post series about Christmas decorations.

Feel feel to check it out through the link below and kindly let me know how you think about it ๐Ÿ™‚

actually i dont really feel the strong appreciation towards mom when I first became mom..i m like dd le..to ask how is the feeling ๐Ÿ˜“ maybe i never experienced the pain. My strongest appreciation was when I was schooling then working. my mom is the motivation factor for me to do better. ah well, now i m still searching my old self ๐Ÿ˜“ ๐Ÿ˜†


:snuggles: Maybe it is not practical to search for โ€œold selfโ€. After all you are a mother now and surely have different concerns and priorities. Opinions and stand on some issues may have changed too. This is all normal. Maybe you just need to recharge and find new focus.

:hugs: :thankyou:

I'm glad my sis gave her the opportunity to help around. I think the feeling of appreciation towards one's mum is suddenly very strong when one becomes a mother. I can still remember the feeling of wondering 'what am I going to do next' when the nurses wheeled me on to my ward after birth of ds1. It was a long lonely night to think about a lot of stuff as ds1 was born at late night.


Ds2.... ๐Ÿ˜† I quickly sleep as I knew won't be able to get enough sleep for the next few years. ๐Ÿ˜†

MKS,

Your girls will still need you next time for their confinement and parenting tips. ๐Ÿ™‚ unlike boys who generally drift away when they grow up :gloomy:

My ds1 asked me to play computer games with him yesterday :love:. He chose a simple one so I could manage the controls. ๐Ÿ˜“ sometimes dunno to :boogie: or :spank: that they know I tech noob or see me no up. :oops:
so nice of you jedamum. my dd asked me to play card games with her and I told her asked meimei to play with her. i m more than happy to help dds with confinement provided my body still able then.

Dec will be here soon


Two more weeks. Still have quite a bit to do before then. ๐Ÿ˜“

Been spending a lot of time โ€œpreachingโ€ to my boys about various things. Last night three of us made dinner together. Parenting is so much work but I have to remind myself to persevere since we can never get back the growing up years. ๐Ÿ˜“

:hugs:
I feel you ๐Ÿ˜„ - i hope our boys can remember wat mama did
(I assume girls do - coz in our era, we do remember our parents' hard work)

Soon, will be Christmas ! Yeh !

Ruldoph, the red nosed reindeer, had a very shiny nose โ€ฆ

Santa Claus, is coming to town. You better watch out, u better not cry โ€ฆ

City side walk, busy side walk, dressed in holiday style. In the air, thereโ€™s a feeling of christmas โ€ฆ

Hark ! The herald angels singing โ€ฆ

It came upon the midnight clear, that glorious song of old โ€ฆ

Silent night, holy night, all is calm, all is bright โ€ฆ

ammonite, I dont have alot of hardwork on them to begin with :oops: but further letting go esp this year enabled me to enjoy them more. fast very fast they are growing now. I always missed the time when they were younger and worry the day they dont need me so much to come soon.
