Ivan & Grace’s Sweet Blog

Spent the entire day cleaning out my wardrobe. And I am still not finished. Still have 4 boxes, 1 drawer and a shelf to go. Should I start on the shoes too? That will take the rest of my hols I m sure.

Realized that I am not hard hearted enough. Only threw out 1 bag full.

Haiz and my nose has been running like crazy all day. Quite very sick. The kids are also sick. Still running after my nose.

Hubby also in bad mood. Guess he is a bit busy … I get in his way too much I think. 

Cute isn’t it?

Lost my wedding ring!

Hubby was very calm though. “What’s in a ring?”, he goes. No hope of finding it now. Dear Cadia lost it when I gave it to her at the cck lib. Why I gave it to her is the real mystery. I also dunno. Cos she asked for it isnt such a great excuse right? Nonetheless the deed is done…

Past week flew by. Hubby stayed home to accompany me most of the time. It was mostly a happy week. We even reminisced about our courtship days and dug out our old photos. And of cos both of us went “we were so young then”.

Went down to cck park for the kids to play sand on sat. It was oh so simple and oh so fun, despite the blazing sun.

Cadia making some progress with toilet training. Under her teacher’s help. Hopefully she’ll be willing to tell us when she needs to go soon!

Marriage is like two connecting hotel rooms with adjoining doors. Openness in a marriage is keeping both doors open all the time. This type of openness comes from a willingness to share from one’s heart. If your partner closes the door to his/her room, you can’t open it. Only the person in the other room can open the door.

Something to read

Time together. Without other pests around.

The past week was a dream! And a bliss. Today was great!

Went for yoga class in the morn and met hubby for lunch and spent some time together b4 heading back home to pick up cadia from school.

And finally got the chance to be at home to see Nadia, hold her, play with her, something which i never did (much) after the maid came along. Guess i became too reliant on her to take care of the babies (yup, she is back).

Nadia is a really cute baby and everyone adores her. Always smiling and oh so chubby. She eats 2 full bowls of porridge now! Which i strongly suspects is more than what Cadia eats. (I really leave the feeding to the maid nowadays… cos i really have little patience if Cadia acts up, which she always does).

These few days, Cadia has been her same old self, sweet and annoying at the same time, while Nadia is perennially sweet and is a real playful soul. I love it when she dances to the music!

Anyway, back to square one! Kids not letting me put them to sleep again! I guess I am really not the terribly motherly sort. Cadia only allows me to read her stories/feed milk(sometimes), and Nadia gets into a crying fit if i take her away from the maid (which can be soothed with some effort).

Heard abt the Myanmar quake. Doesnt seem to have caused much damage though, unlike the Japan quake. Hope that the world will survive. Seems like 1 natural disaster after another.

Passing thought: It is a nice balmy night. Perfect for thinking. Appreciating loved ones. The best thing to know is that the hubby and the kids are safely in their beds sleeping.

Hope this 1 month will be a full and satisfying one. Speaking of which, need to write down my to-do list!
