How I’ve missed writing in here..there is no excuse for not getting into my blog and writing. Fact is, I never seem to have enough hours in a day. And truthfully, when FB began to catch my attention, the little extra time I had went into re-establishing old friendships.
It’s almost the end of yet another year and what a year it’s been. Let’s not even go anywhere near what the country went through in early 2008…! On the home front some changes took place too, including one which I did write about, the runaway maid. For those who may not know, we are still maidless and life is still bliss…alhamdulillah. Hubby and I now enjoy some quality alone time whenever the kids stay at their gramps and although the house is not spick and span 24/7, it’s fine. We’ve racked up laundry bills but hey it’s a trade off from the savings of the water and electricity bill at home I suppose.
On the 14th of this month, hubby and me celebrated the day we first met, some 23 years ago. He surprised me with a pretty bouquet of 3 red roses that seemed to have appeared out of nowhere on the car seat… I gave out a whoop of delight when I opened the car door..hmm, yea, 1985 was ages ago…and with the passing of time, fine lines have appeared here and there..complimented by expanding hips and waistline, but our love for one another has grown over the years and the spark is still real - passionate and sweet. Frankly I would put it differently but seeing that I should maintain a certain level of decency here, passionate and sweet will have to do….!
The kids, they’re my pride and joy. My first born….he’s all grown up…and is awaiting his PMR results right now. Honestly, he appears to be brimming with confidence..I just hope he won’t be disappointed. The mom is more a nervous wreck than he is! I had dreams of going to his school and getting his exam results, once I even woke up in the middle of the night and looked around only to realize it was all a dream..a bad one at that.
My no 2 – aaah…the one who provides me with a good measure of parenting challenge. Admittedly, he tests my patience regularly but he’s a good kid and most will be quick to agree that he can win a popularity contest hands down.
My precious will turn 8 next year and although some say we pamper him, he never takes advantage. On the contrary, showering him with tremendous love and affection has boosted his self confidence. He always knows what he wants and rarely hesitates to speak his mind.
All in all, it has been a good year. I continue to feel blessed and am thankful that I have a roof over my head, a job that helps to pay the bills, best friends who provide me stress therapy whenever I need it and most importantly a family that loves me. So we now move into yet another new year. I trust most of us share common hopes and wishes for the year ahead..good health, a better economy and a life filled with much love.
With that in mind, let us all pray for a blessed and fulfilling 2009.
