Technology Nowadays

Blogging from my iPhone now. Was not aware of this till today. How advance technology is nowadays. I can even upload photos! I used to do it through photobucket which involves a lot more steps and deterred me from blogging before. What a relief! I can even blog during my tea break at work! I'm loving the conveniences of high technology!

Teatime Pansies by Debbie Mumm

Preparing myself to de-stress from the stressful yearly audit at work.  I just hope and pray it will not be a long drawn one.  Looking forward to start  my new WIP by Debbie Mumm.

Beef Lasagna Dinner

Made Beef Lasagna for dinner today. Inspired by hubby's craving for it 2 Sundays back but didn't have the time to make it. Finally satisfied his craving today. My boys finished dinner in 15 minutes instead of the usual 45 minutes! I must say it was a hit!

It's Been Awhile.....

Hello blog! It's been awhile since I posted. I feel like I'm writing to a friend I have not written to for a long time. It's funny I feel this way.

Been actually contemplating of moving this blog to my Facebook account for sometime now, but just have not gotten myself to doing it. I dread uploading photos here as it takes a lot of processes to finally achieve it. Well, anyway, here I am again, writing to a long lost friend. :-)

There's been a lot of changes the last 2 years. I have gone from being a part-time working mom to a full-time working mommy. My life has become more busy and am always looking forward to rest and recreation when not at work. With this change, it means I have less time with my kids but would like to think I have more quality time with them now. There are times I wish I could be with them more, but hey, one can't have everything in this world right?

Adjusting to a New Routine

It's a Sunday morning and the weather 's great! Some may be wondering why am I blogging at home on a Sunday morning instead of being in church. Our routine had a little twist beginning of 2010. Since James started Primary 1 this year, I felt that my life needed to take a change. I realized that routines and habits for our family needed to undergo some transformation to create an environment that is supportive of a boy who just went into formal school. I have come up with a list of the little sacrifices and some of the outcomes of it:
1. Church Day - we have been attending Saturday Church Service for the last 2 months. Not only to respond to the church' request but it is also better for the family. Rich and I now have one day a week to sleep in a bit (that is if the boys don't wake us up early). It has also become a time for the four of us to cuddle in bed sharing events and jokes. I have also made it a routine to teach the boys and do their homeworks. And the rest of the day is free and easy.
2. Week Nights - it's usually study time from 8-9pm. No more going out to unwind anytime we want to.  Gone are those days.....

To Be Like YOU...

Lord,
help me
to be like you.
Kind and gentle
in every way.
Amen.

I seem to be getting upset a lot these days. Over people, situation, kids, and anything minor. I've become sensitive to people's comments and remarks. I come home asking myself how did I react the way I reacted to a situation? Enlighten me Lord....

HAPPY & SAD....

Sad... coz it marks the first month of the passing away of my dear brother-in-law...Bonny. He has impacted our family so much that even I could feel that emptiness knowing he will not be around on family gatherings anymore. I feel so sad for Richard who lost his brother so soon, and for my boys who cannot enjoy their funny Uncle anymore. They so looked forward to his visits....and presents.:) We miss you Bonny...



Happy.... for my sister who celebrates her birthday tomorrow. She is one superwoman...a loving mom to her 3 little ones, a supportive wife, a loyal sister and daughter and a good friend....one amazing lady.
