Slow Down Madam!

Published by Gorgeous under Daily Grind

It was quiet hectic and full on in the last 6 months since I got back from Davao. During a month long visit, I have committed myself to find some work as soon as I get back to Perth, so as desired, I got my first retail job in November, then thought, this job isn’t really for me. Am getting getting less and less motivated each time I catch the train soon after school drop off. So at the start of the new year, I was off looking for some other alternatives. Yes, I got another job after a hectic training of 10 days. Mind you it was all paid training though.

Just this morning, I seem to realise that I was taking on my new-found 25 hours a week of freedom (that 5 hours a day my children are at school) too quickly by joining the crowd of mums on the fo workforce. But I can sense the effect of it now, I need a break. Getting back to work should at least helped me to develop my organising skills, you know the kind of.. preparing kids lunches in the evening, laundry and vacuuming in between dinner preparation and stuff like that. But hey, who wants to join the rat race anyway. In many ways, it taught me lessons but at this very moment, I just thought, I have to slow down a bit. So I flicked yoga pose position to give me hints and right now am considering to get myself back into yoga routine but, again, slowly, not pushing myself in order to reap the benefits of it rather that resenting every move I made.

Freedom to earn extra cash by working is great and gives you a sense of independence, but then, our mind and body needs a respite as well from everyday stress in life.

Domestic part of Parenting

Published by Gorgeous under Daily Grind

As you can see from the my title alone, potty training techniques is

is one of the critical skills that parents must learned and develop if both or at least one of the parents desires to achieve the maximum unit of sanity in the household.

Looking back to the early years of parenthood, personally this part of the parental program is one that I wasnt’ sure of myself to perform, I sort of liking the idea but the other part of me seems to unwelcome the idea of training.

There are always mishaps and it could be messy most times, but mind you, its a relief once your child get his act altogether and as parents you reap the benefits of saving extra $$$$ for nappies, not only that, it saves you inconveniences or maybe embarrasment from having to share to the public the foul smell of a dirty nappies.
