One and the half month is over for 2012. What has been happening here? All I can say is BEEZEE.<\/p>\n
School.<\/strong> We have carpool arrangement for Zaria, so Daddy sends 3 mornings a week, and I pick up 2 afternoon a week. The rest, my neighbor handles.<\/p>\n With Zara, unlike last year, there’s no carpool arrangement. I do the sending and picking up myself. <\/p>\n Extra-classes and Tutoring.<\/strong> Zaria – Swimming, Art & Craft, Mandarin, Yamaha, <\/p>\n Zara – Swimming, Art & Craft, Mandarin, Piano, Speech & Drama, English, Bahasa Malaysia. <\/p>\n Besides Swimming and Art & Craft where the girls attend together; and Bahasa Malaysia where the tutor comes to the house; the rest are different classes, different timing and guess who has to do the chauffeuring? <\/p>\n How many trips in and out do I have to make? And I wonder how come the mother ends up doing all the driving even though she has to work too!<\/p>\n Maidless<\/strong> Kind of miss the ‘piling-palang’ noise she made at home, and her loud bossy voice. She’s actually an OK helper, just stubborn and have an attitude. Trustworthy and no-nonsense is her plus points.<\/p>\n Our replacement was supposed to arrive a day after Jelly left. But just like all the con-artist Agents who over commit and under deliver, the paper work was not completed on time, and God knows when it’ll be done and the new helper will arrive.<\/p>\n We’re estimating 2 to 3 weeks maidless period. Zaria is now sent to my MIL’s place after school (take a wild guess who sends here there and who picks her up?), just so all the little ‘unplanned’ demands she has will not interrupt my work schedule or meetings.<\/p>\n So here is the work from home mum with a full time job, who’s also a full time driver, and now a full time maid all roll into one. I’m so not going to be born as a female next life!<\/p>\n And who says I’m so lucky to be able to work from home? <\/p>\n
\nZaria goes to kindergarten in the morning. Zara goes to school in the afternoon. <\/p>\n
\nThe girls have a couple of activities and classes lined up for them.<\/p>\n
\nJelly has left for good on Sunday, after working with us for 5yrs.<\/p>\n
