Mothering Corner

I gave up. After packing up some of our stuffs, I know that it’s not possible for me to do everything by myself. I can’t seem to fit the things in the carton boxes or luggages unless we have more. Besides that, it’s already more than 30kg if we move some of the kids’ books. Gosh, I’m going insane. Give me movers New York now!

Luckily hubby agreed that we should just let the international movers to do the job now. He saw me packing and driving myself nuts just now. LOL! Let me say this again. Moving is hard. It’s stressful for kids and it’s worse for me.

Hubby and I are going away to set up our home and office in Bangkok next week. We will only be there for a few days, so everything is a rush to us. We have to set up the Call Center VoIP Phone Systems at the office too if time permits. We are trying to start the business running as soon as possible so that things can settle down faster before the kids are moving over the Bangkok.

Frankly, we can just leave them behind for my mum, but hubby is very reluctant. A family is not complete if we are separated. Even if we can make lots of long distance calls back home, but it won’t be the same if we can’t give them hugs and kiss them goodnight.

It’s going to be hard for us initially, but I know that things will get better a few years down the road.

I found that the advertiser of some breastfeeding videos has dropped out the link from my site. It’s not surprising as my site doesn’t have a lot of visitors but I was hoping that those mothers who are looking for breastfeeding videos can find them here and learn the right ways of latching on or various breastfeeding positions.

It’s the advertiser’s decision anyway and there is nothing I can do about it. The most I lost is just a few bucks per month and it didn’t hurt much. Anyway, if you are interested to know the videos are, check out the link above.

It took us about 5 hours to come back from Penang to Ipoh yesterday and thank god the festive holiday is all over by now. My boy has started going to school this morning, and my gal is trying to get more rest since we were busy traveling and visiting around the past few days.

As for me, it’s time to get some detoxification done after eating too much junks during Chinese New Year. I won’t take hoodia to lose weight but I will only watch my diet and get some exercise by running with the kids if possible. Besides that, I have to start packing up for Bangkok as I’m going there again in 2 weeks. I have to move some clothes and stuffs there on this trip and hopefully we don’t have to send too many things for the subsequent trips.

After that, I better start looking for information about home schooling. I need to coach my boy at home before the new term starts at international school. See? I am going to have a busy rat year.

I would like to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year and may you and your family have a prosperous new year ahead. Let’s not forget about having fun being a mother, even if our kids might make us climb up the wall sometimes. LOL!

In short, happy breastfeeding and mothering. And don’t forget to prepare lots of ang pao ya?

My laptop is not only my toy, but my source of income as well. I really can’t do without it now and knowing that there is something wrong with it worries me. It’s not something threating that infected my Dell, but I am pretty annoyed seeing the scan results knowing that something cannot be removed by my spyware detector.

Seriously, should I get another software like ESET smart security? I just don’t feel like paying for the 3rd software in the same category no matter how good they claimed they are. If there is a free trial, I don’t mind trying it out. That will be a different case. If it can remove the thing in my Dell, I will think about buying it!

I wonder how I will handle my kids and the house if we move away and I don’t have helper at home. I don’t trust anyone easily especially those that come into my house. I will have to juggle everything by myself and it won’t be easy for all of us. It’s a new environment and everyone will have to start all over again, and my kids may need more attention from me. I don’t think I can handle all the cooking, marketing, making sure that the house and Delta faucets are sparkling clean all the time. So, it’s going to be very tough.

If only I can get my maid there, but I don’t think it’s possible. Let’s see what’s hubby’s decision in a few days, we should have the answer by then.

I’ve made up my mind to wear my Nike shoes tomorrow instead of my regular pumps. I don’t want to have any blister or foot ache walking a mile with a toddler in my arms. I better make sure that I pack some Foot Pain Relief products as well, and you will never know when they will come in handy.

I guess it’s not easy to look polished when you are traveling abroad with 2 young children, unless you have nanny coming along. It’s better to opt for comfort instead of looking great. But I wonder if I still have those blister patch in my drawer? I have to check it out tonight.

It’s noisy the whole day through and I wonder how my kids are going to take their naps later. The houses around us are having some home improvement projects but luckily the major ones are completed days ago. One of the neighbors has his pool reconstructed because it’s more than 20 years old. I haven’t seen the new pool but I hope that it’s as good as those projects done by arizona swimming pool contractors. Most pool contractors charge a lot of money, but not all will deliver high quality end results like Cameo Pools.

I’m glad that we are going away tomorrow and be away from the noisiness of the drilling machine.

I’m driving the truck and most of the time, my kids are being driven in this car since both of their car seats are being installed in it. That’s why I asked hubby to considered installed another bull bar at the back of the car to make sure that the truck is better protected.

There are a lot of cases when a lady’s car is being hit by those robbers and it’s not really safe on the road. If the car is well protected, even if it’s being hit, I will just move on without stopping! I won’t be bothered to check on the dent or damage if there is a bull bar.

So, I hope that hubby will think about this.
