Life is, once again, taking a different turn and forcing us out of our routine.

My counseling sessions affect my life in a positive way. It feels like they bring more and more room for my little family in my heart. I am still emotional and at times easily upset, but not as easily as before.

So today papa left for Auckland at 18.45. He will go for five weeks and I haven't found anyone to help me on Saturday when I bring the kids out. Last few days were emotional. Poor Tio unjustly got scolded many times :( Last night I and papa talked, it was brimming with emotion, but I felt closer to him than ever before.  Yesterday morning J woke up with swollen left upper eyelid and insect bite marks on his ear and forehead. So we just observed and today it didn't look any better so I tried giving him Zyrtec and it helped even J spitted some of the syrup out. And he got loose stool today. Well well. Fortunately it also got better.

Papa gave me a surprise, Kindle paperwhite :) so thoughtful of him. Last time he gave me Sony Reader for a surprise, but it's difficult to read it at night that I have to use reading light (with plastic page almost as wide as the Reader). I didn't know that he noticed it. So he put the Kindle near the computer I usually use. But I did not notice it until he told me to open it hehehe. Yeah because he often brings computer thingy thingy that I don't even know what they are.  I like the Kindle even though I need to learn as it's more complicated than the Reader. Just now I bought My Sister's Keeper too at 7$ (50% off) hehehe. I'd been wanting that book but didn't want to pay the print out price. ;))

Papa and mama were emotional when it was time for farewell, the kids handled it better, Tio even kissed me and tried to comfort me. Oh I really regret the times when I shouted at him for crying... bad bad bad.....

Day 1
It went well. Jeremy did not take a nap. T & J ate dinner while watching movie at 16.30, J ate a lot, then they played together for a while. T teased J so much that J cried inconsolably, perhaps also because he was sleepy. J sweat a lot so I gave him a warm bath. Still crying after bath, he went to his bed and fell asleep at around 19.30. Oh well, I don't want to think about what time he will wake up tomorrow.
T did some coloring and drawing and talked a lot as usual :D. He said he saw a mosquito. But I couldn't find it. Until it's time for Tio to sleep, I found out that there were 2 mosquitoes inside his bed. My bad.... I checked and looks like they didn't bite him yet.
Things were good with T until he said bla bla bla after we finished praying together (the first time in a long time :P). I think I could pat myself on the back as I was not as emotional as I would have in the past. But I scolded him a little still.... bad bad bad....
The chores are done and I have to sleep early for I don't have the luxury of sleeping in late while papa prepares the breakfast for this five weeks :P.
