Like what I mentioned in my previous blog, things have been really busy at work. Last week, I didn't plan to work the whole week but ended up teaching the same class from Monday to Friday. Not that I'm complaining but having no helpers around made things at home a little crazier and messier at that!
The weekend passed through really quickly. Didn't get the chance to catch up with house work since our weekend social calendar was also jam packed. With the arrival of my in-laws, the kids' swimming classes, visit to hubby's relatives and of course, our service.
I told Alvin I'm taking the whole week off since starting next week I don't know how my life is going to be.
I needed this week off to catch up on housework.
I needed this week off to do errands for the family and friends.
I needed this week off to prepare the house and my in-laws for the next 7 weeks.
I needed this week to prepare myself in all aspects for the Herculean task I will be having at work starting Monday.
I needed this week off to spend time with my children.
The last reason takes the chunk of all the reasons why I said no to casual work/calls I received this week.
It was one of the best decisions I made because I can see that my kids were also happy with my decision.
Liam was probably happier because I had the chance to spend an entire morning during their Open Day at school. The priceless smile and hugs he gave me was more than enough to tell me he appreciates me for being there. He just doesn't know it but I was happier and prouder especially after seeing all the schoolwork he has been doing at school and after hearing all the good words his teacher has for him :-)
Obviously I was able to finish all my backlog because I was finally able to sit and write again, thanks to the help of my in-laws.... I plan to spend the next two days (weekends are fully booked again) just relaxing and reading my two books.
