Prrrrrrrt!

Stop, Sydney! can we slow down a bit? :)

"Bawal ang mabagal sa Australia" it took me a few trips to the shops to imbibe this. My SIL told me this phrase and after staying here for more than two years now I can say, it is true!

Mornings are the most chaotic time at home. When I need to prepare everything-- breakfast, giving our children a bath, driving them to school, going to the shops, planning and thinking of what needs to be done at home for the day! Waaaah! I feel like someone is breathing at my neck! Always doing time check every now and then. Good thing Liam's school is just a five-minute drive from our house, gives me more time to do other stuff at home.

I am just happy that next term, we were able to transfer Liam's soccer lessons and Sam's swimming lessons on the weekends. Just thinking about it gives me a big sigh of relief because I feel like a load of stress has suddenly been lifted from my shoulders :)

Sometimes when everything is just going crazy I stop and breathe. I need to or I might end up being the crazy one hehe. Bawal mabagal sa Sydney, pero minsan kailangan mong maging mabagal. Bakit? Basta, kailangan mo. Wala ng kokontra, ok? :)

extra time

i don't know what i did, or what happened but the past days i suddenly found myself having more free time :) oh, i'm still doing what i have been doing the past 6 months -- the chores and even doing some of alvin's chores now, so i really don't know what happened. to think that this week, i had to bring liam to the dentist for his annual check up. but i'm loving it.

now, i'm in the mood for cooking. i just baked bread and butter pudding. loving the smell of cinnamon and butter inside the house :) tomorrow, i plan to cook beef salpicao and chicken mini-drummers with liver spread. on saturday, i plan to cook mac and cheese and homemade mashed potatoes, as well as sweet and sour pork. on sunday, i'll cook tinola and steamed basa fillet in soy. we won't be eating all of it, some of them will go straight to the freezer, as next week will be a busy week -- i have a class, the last meeting for this term, yipee!

i just realized that i am really a workaholic person. i can't just sit and do nothing. i need to do things, my brain needs to work, i need to move. oh, don't worry, in the busyness of my everyday life, i don't forget to relax, i get to have long afternoon naps now with my kids, blogging relaxes me, and so is watching master chef or other tv shows at night with my family. i still get to do fb, and my bible reading is becoming more regular now. so what happened? i don't know, but i am very thankful for this extra time :)
