Life Without Mommy

ok, so the title was a bit melodramatic!

my mom has left and is now having a super grand time in the US with her siblings. huh! she's been gone 2 weeks now but she'll be back end of january, hopefully just in time before i give birth (if kian waits, that is!).

it's been very manageable so far. having been left with 2 really messy boys lol. cayden is back in nursery mon-wed, days that i work. but he'll only be there a total of 16 days and we've only got 9 days left (this coming week and 2 weeks in january).

i start my work days bet 6-6:30am, depending on what time i wake up lol. i prepare and cook our breakfast, cayden's baon for nursery, tantan's lunch (and sometimes mine as well) and our dinner. i dont want to be cooking dinner when i get home because im sure (which is truly the case) im knackered by then!

after cooking, i get dressed for work, wake tantan and cayden up and bathe the little one. we then have breakfast together then tantan will bring cayden to the nursery while i head off to work. i will pick cayden up after work, bring him home, watch the telly/play with him, heat our dinner up and wait for daddy to come home then we have supper together. i put cayden to sleep around 7:30 (or 8 if he napped in nursery). i usually sleep as soon as cayden sleeps but some nights, a stay up for another hour or two just to browse the net. then another day starts....

on thursdays, i wake up an hour later (7:30ish), do the same routine and head out with cayden at 9am to attend his kindermusik class. fridays-sundays, i wake up when cayden wakes up and that is around 8-ish. i do house chores while cayden watches tv which works really well as a distractor. i do my laundry on thursdays and iron them on fridays.

in all honesty, this is the only time i felt im really a mom (just because i havent woken up this early before to prepare meals! - my mom does it for us =D). i love every minute of it except for the cooking part bec cooking really is not my cup of tea. but so far, my boys are not complaining!

just this week and i'll be off work for 2 weeks (annual leave) and then back at work for another 2 weeks. then the long break begins. i cant wait for my mom to come back. not because my house chores will be lighter (ok, that's part of it) but bec of the goodies she'll be bringing back home. im such a sucker for treats!!!
