Pri 1 has started for slightly more than a month. And I have been bringing Big K to school almost daily. The daily 20 mins or so is a good catch-up/bonding time between us, although we do a range of 'stuff' - from revising his spelling or 听写, to him sharing what they might do for the day to being scolded/warned for his stubbornness and rude behaviour etc. Literally everything under the sun. I still wouldn't trade these daily 20 mins for anything. And I get to do this with Lil K next year!! Big K has adjusted to school really well, always ready and eager to go to school. Each morning, as we bid good bye after a hug and kiss, my heart always feels heavy and tight. I can almost always feel a tear or two ever ready to fall from the corners of my eyes. This sayonara ritual each morning almost always puts me in a bad space for a few minutes and this is where the daily internal conversations comes up. Each morning, as I head to board the train to work, I struggle alot with my e...

It has been about 3 weeks since Pri 1 journey has started and the mum is experiencing low battery and desperately needs to reload and recharge. (Did I mention I just return from a short but duper fun holiday?) It is taking a toll on me physically and mentally. During moments like this, I am having alot of internal conversations. Even Big K is experiencing a downtime too. These days, it is getting tiny bit harder to drag him out of bed and be on full charge. Gotta get myself up and running and out of this draining rut before picking and perking Big K up. 1 more day to the weekend before we can slow down the pace and probably smell some roses too..... ☆modernmumINC☆  ☆modernmumwoes ☆exhaustedmum☆  ☆lowbatt☆  ☆feelingdrained☆  

2 Jan 2018 is a date that I dread and wished it never arrived (in major denial) cos Big K embarks on a new journey of his life.  New journey for all at home, tweaks here and there too - trying to be the best, patient & understanding mum possible (which i failed), be considerate of his emotions & mood, be mindful that Lil K doesn't get left out etc.... This week is a torture, both physically & mentally. It is WORSE than working. While I don't really love my work anymore because of people and their ridiculous mind games, I would still rather go to work than play maid for an entire week. Ferry both kids to and from school, trying to stay awake & occupied while waiting for time to pass and not in the mood & space to do my work; this is indeed tedious. Do I regret taking 5 days of leave when there are work waiting to be completed & the crap that I will be in when I return to work next week? Not really!! I cannot buy back these precious 5 days journey w...
