Keeping Up

It's been really long from the last postings. Even though I am working from home but having Ian around and pre-schooling, time is just not enough. I would be up by 7am to prepare him for school and off to bed with him at about 9.30-10pm almost everyday. I just could not stay up most of the time to catch up on some "Me" time, it is just so tiring. When we do reading together before he goes to sleep, I would be first to doze off. What a lazy mummy. Parenting is just another career of it's own. I really salute all the housewives as it is the hardest job ever.

Ian was initially sent to half-day school, but we decided a few weeks after school started that we should leave him in school longer so that i could concentrate on my work for a longer period. Having him home at 12noon is really distracting as we need to prepare lunch for him and put him to nap. He doesn't nap too long and will wake up at about 4pm and then he will need all the attention until dinner time. After we enrol him into full-day school, time is better managed as we could quickly bring him back from school at 3pm, bath and put him to sleep. And by the time he wakes at about 6pm, I could logged off from office and have more time with him, play and prepare dinner.

We will still have time together at night and not totally putting him in school or childcare till dinner time.
