Homemaker life

Alyssa finally went to school on the 21st March. Since it's her first day, I was with her for the whole 4 hour session. Pretty tiring, since I was so worried I might wake up late, I actually woke up at 6am, and in between I was half asleep and half awake. I even dreamt that I was late bringing Alyssa to school! Anyway, she was pretty scared at first, but after 2 or 3 hours, she seem to have relaxed and I managed to stay away from her sight for like 10 minutes in a stretch without her noticing even. Luckily for me, Alyssa managed to get oriented pretty quickly, probably due to the fact that she was brought to the student care pretty often previously so she managed to get into the "schooling" mood quite fast. So she has gone to school for 3 days now, 2 days on her own by school bus. At least with only Alexis to handle in the morning, I am able to do some household chores. I just need to put Alexis in front of Barney the show and I am able to spend around 50min doing mopping of the floor. Poor Alexis had a slight fever for the past 2 days, but today seem to have recovered (keeping my fingers cross). The weather is so hot recently that the kids are having bad tempers, including me too.

Rented a few vcds but the joke is din get to watch any, really wasted the money. Philip was so happy yesterday because for the first time after so many months he is able to be sitting at home enjoying home cooked food at 6.30pm. For this week and next, he is able to come home early because he is having reservist and it happen to be just going to camp and no field trip. I think the kids also feel happy seeing him back home early. Especially Alyssa will ask about daddy every night before she goes to sleep.

After looking after Alexis everyday for the past 1 1/2 weeks, she seems to stick to me. I am enjoying the new attention though sometimes it can be quite tiring when I am supposed to cook and she wants me to carry her. Probably due to her fever and sometimes the noise generated from outside renovation work, she will be rather clingy. Somehow I am starting to enjoy this homemaker type of life, that maybe I might end up not even doing part time tutoring. hehe
