I Start to See the Light

Yay! We have finally decided on a school for both boys. It`s Hello Kids. They will start on 1st June, every Monday & Tuesdays from 10am-2.30pm. And Gabe will still attend special school Wed, Thurs & Fri. Since Lucas is still so young, i don`t have the heart to put him there everyday.

I was already very reluctant to send him to school at such a young age, but i felt i didn`t have much choice if i wanted time to study Japanese part-time. And with him being so so sticky, i felt perhaps he needed this...and yes, for me too largely. I have dedicated nearly everyday of my life to these 2 boys since they were born. Through sickness, happiness, mucous, phlegm and tears I`ve stuck by them. I just feel it`s time i needed some ME time. Yes maybe unfair to Lucas coz he`s so young, but i went through it over and over, and in the end he`d probably learn more from his friends in school than at home with a recently angrier-shoutier-frustrated mum.

Yeah i guess I have reached that point in life where i just don`t have it in me anymore to deal with them for the whole day. Trust me, i love them with all my heart. But it`s time for us to be apart slightly...

So yes, I`m excited about getting 2 half days alone. Not much, but i think good enough for me to study abit, and go to the gym and have some nice alone lunch.

Boys, grow up. Mummy loves u both, but I`ve decided enough is enough. Go to school and do ur stuffs!!

BLISS

The weather in Tokyo is turning GLORIOUS...with that i mean it`s warm n sunny, but not too hot, even with the afternoon sun. But it lasts only for a month or so, with July & August being the extreme worst. Stay in the sun for an hour and you`re toast.

So of course, I`ve been wanting to bring the kids out every weekend. Morning sun is the best, but of course their Father is always so lazy and keep saying in the afternoon only we go. By then, the kids are cranky and sleepy. And some wonder why it`s so hard to bring kids out..of course what, you wait till they are all tired n sleepy. Geez.

So out of the many weekends that we had, last week was the best. We went to the riverside green, where they had a small stream with running water for the kids to play. And i loved it. Lucas LOVED it..Gabe well, not at first, but yes in the end he LOVED it. Freezing cold water though. We ate our McDs and Lucas even had his choc milk shake.

Needless to say the kids were wayy tired on the way home and after their bath, fell straight asleep. BLISS. I am so going for more of these outings. Otehrwise all Gabe does is watch IPAD at home.

i say this is wayyy more fun!!
