Last 2 weeks, hubby was very consumed with his sermon...I responded by being available whenever he wants and took the children out when he wanted complete silence.
Thank God is over. Last week I was adventurous. I brought Khloe to Susan's house in the morning and reached home by 11.30am to pick Jereboy home. I also brought them to Christina's house for the children to play together. That was my primary reason. Secondary reason is scrapbooking at Sue's house and collecting old clothes and gown from Gracia! Khloe is wearing Gracia's old clothes when thet are different by 3 months!! Still I am thankful that gOD PROVIDED all that I need. A gown for Khloe and a suit for Jere. Amazing!
Last weekend, I also had my house opening rather than warming as I feel that it is already quite warm. My guests list were mainly people who had never visited my place and a time for me to chat up with ex- colleagues who are SAHM. Thank God my house din collapse! I had 50 guests in the afternoon and 45 guests in the evening! I also thank God for my sis in law who had Mary with her to take care of the children while I tidied up the place and of course my wonderful sister Sally.
This week I intend to keep up with the visiting but Gracia is sick today and abit more war time for Khloe and Josh...

Another week of hope
Thank you Esther once again for sharing your input. I wonder if it is expectation?? I just want him to have a good attitude.
Anyway, Jere behaved well today. Teacher praised him...so he can stop talking if he finds a reason to do so! I am withholding his birthday present till I check with his teacher about his execessive talking. Juli told me to check with my mum and MIL if we were like that when we were young. Indeed. Yesterday, my mum said that I was like Jere...talk and dictate people around. I am so good at bossing around so I wasn't a concern for my mum!
So why is jere so talkative....ME, why is khloe so vain....ME! Disaster...MIrror mirror on the wall....after all these "mirrors" are great teachers!
ASHAMED SAHM(do you notice the alphabets are just jumble up?)

miserable
Jeff said is the lack of HS in my life! I tot perhaps, I had been very angry with jere for the last 2 weeks. I jus wacked him upside down. To the point that I had to bend and break the cane before I do anything bad! Lord...Lord help me to come out of the situation. To let go and let him be.
It is unbearable to wake up each morning to repeat the same instruction, to dress up, drink milk, wear shoes and eat supplememnt. When he returns, go and bathe, eat and take out your work to do!!!!! Its driving me mad!!!!rage rather! So I warned him this morning that I will not do that anymore. So just now, he stood in a daze... I caned him from his back and immediately, he sat down to start hi schoolwork. He delayed his work...taking his own sweet time, so I made him finish the entire book. Now still waiting for him to do his work....pencil rolled off...Khloe came in....distractions...my problem??

mood swings
Must be those mood swings again... Been acting up whenever I am teaching or rather telling Jere what to do. He was so nervous that he had bad stomachache during his HYPY class. He ended up washing his own underwear!!!see how terribe and fierce I am!
Today, I have those panic attacks again... I wonder if I had done enuf to prepare him for Pri 1 next year! I had wanted to start him with P1 work by this term but fail. He still has quite alot to cover before I can buy P1 books. Am I setting myself again?? Such a painful thing to hear him telling me that his friend told him to stop copying. Then I asked him what is it that he had been copying, he said he dun know!!!
Gotta trust and continue to pray for him and I guess esp. me!!! I came back from encounter and Jf expected me to be transformed. Then I blurted out saying that I was there transforming others, as I have to remain faithful, the same yesterday, today and forever!! He laughed. I tot I was quite good at thrilling my hubby...

see this
This is the one that he had so much fun...but poor Gloria. Thank God they grow up together so no one is sour after that.
I am thankful to God for showing and guiding me how to teach Jere. Through this game, he learnt to trust me more and that I can make better decision than him. In turn I prayed for him to be able to make decision that please God alone. I reminded him to be alert as sin creeps in when we let our guard down. When we think it is ok to delay, when we think it is ok to ignore or just a little bit of diobedience. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God.
I wonder all these inputs will amount to what? My mum did not teach me so many things... She often tells me to use my eyes to see and learnt. No need of books and enrichement lessons...So I am saved by grace. Amazing grace

yesterday once more
Yesterday, Jeff had taken leave to celebrate my delivery of jere 6 years ago! I am very thankful to God for giving my these little ones to adore and learn.
We started the day at east coast Mac Donald then to Tampines for Wall-E. Bought popcorn and coke and the cost was $32!!! After the show, we led Jere to pick his birthday cake and then to Toysrus to pick a gift! Well...little Khloe also get a gift from daddy. All were happy except our pockets. We took them home and told them to nap, woke them up at 4pm and allowed them to play with their new toys. That evening, we met up with oldies and went to Chinese Garden once more..the last time was 4 years ago! Bought them laterns and some blown up toys at the fair. The most unforgetable for Jere was the ball thingy. And that the story I want to share or rather is the highlight of the day.
He saw the floating ball...I know fear was in his heart...I nudged him and told him to try! It was $3 per child. We suggested Gloria to join in too. Off they went. Jere had a great time trying to balance and run inside the ball while on the water... except that Gloria was having some problems balancing herself. The teaching point was obedience, I told jere. He was shocked that I could read him so well. After the game, I took him aside and said that this $3 is very wekk spent. Ealier that day, he was upset that I had refused to pay her a $4 treat into those jumping float at Tampines pasa malam. I told him that $4 is not worth the try...besides nothing great to jump in such a mini float. I told him to pray and tell God how much he wants the ride. I pointed to him that God hears you coz we both love God. His reponse to God had led us to Chinese Garden and into the fair and into the floating ball. I told him that if he chosen to walk away from the pasa Malam feeling bitter and sour...God will not let you go with such an attitude. He agreed that God loves him and a undivided obedience to parents is important in pleasing God. Praise God.
Today, I was tried again. He pleaded to get a BEN 10 toy which cost $10. just a figurine...no big deal....then as O was trying to convince him not to get the toy, I realised that I had been acceptable to monsters. That might explain why he had nightmares. Also we talked anout hidden sin and lukewarmnesss and also being compromising to wrongs. To cut the story short...my prayers were all answered yesterday and today. I had asked God to help me teach Jere the importance of loving God unconditionally .....ASk me for more details if you would like to hear...(yawnn...)

tHANK yoU tOMMY
Before I deicided to log in to this site, I tot I should visit my good friend's site. Seeing how cute and wonderfull Steffi is now really warms my heart. Especially Tom monkeying with Steffi, her laugther is so contagious. Jere and Khloe saw it thrice and ended up laughing like her!
I was surfing to look for a piano teacher for Jere and had contacted one. Then my itchy fingers proceeded to search for more courses for jere and even to look for phonics lesson for Khloe who will turn 3 soon. Perhaps my idea of letting them enjoy their childhood is not ideal. As it turns out now, Jere is taking 2 lessons, one which is phnoics whichj I am competent to teach but fail. Another one is chinese which I am at a lost. Somehow, getting khloe to start next year may help her to assimilate into formal education in a more comfortable pace. Though Jere is doing well in his chinese as in the results, his usage of mandarine remains low. His reading is having slight improvememnt but again...is he ready for Primary one? Fear and anxiety took control...I became depressed. So thank you Tommy and Lizhen for uploading those cute pictures...reminding me again to trust GOd and be thankful always!
