school mom
finally, we’re back on track… sort of.
the month-long school holidays are over, with a bonus week because both hubby and jan were put on quarantine after our return from thailand, plus a long weekend because of youth day. so finally, yesterday, tuesday, jan was back in school, and life returns to normal, hehe.
no more sleeping-ins for me (hubby’s no longer there to look after mia in the mornings!), back to homework, forget unrestricted tv-time, online games and PS3. this term, jan’s schedule is a logistical challenge. every wednesday afternoon, he has a supplementary conversational chinese class. this means two things. one, he will have to eat lunch in school; problem is, he’s not very enthusiastic at the food offerings in the canteen. two, the next schoolbus he could take home is 45 minutes after the end of his class, so i (and mia) will have to pick him up.
in a few months, mia will also go to a nursery of some sort. and i can already foresee how my days will be spent, shuttling the kids to schools and back, doing the grocery runs and house chores in between. this is it– the stuff i see on tv shows featuring stay at home moms. fab!
or not.

hay, ganun nga talaga yata. on one hand, we’d like to encourage our kids to have extra curricular activities, but it does fill up everyone else’s scheds. but then again, maybe that’s what our roles are supposed to be siguro, holding our kids hands til they can stand on their own.
konti na lang, bea will be dalaga na. she’ll be wanting to go on her own na. hm, is that good or bad? hehe
