At this precise moment, I am home alone with 2 kids. Mum has abandoned me to stay at my aunt’s place for the week hence this is my test run period to see how I handle things alone. And Ted has gone to work. So far so good [touch wood, touch] since Arianna is watching telly and KR is falling in and out of her nap in her rocker. We have actually just came back from a BBQ at my cousin’s place where we dropped Mum off so half the day is gone and I guess in a way it’s a blessing for me.
I told Ted that I was already freaking out at the thought of handling the 2 kids on my own but at the same time, my thought always go back to Aida and how she is dealing with it all by herself as well. I tell you, she is like my role model for SAHM living in a foreign land and I can’t say enough how much I look up to her. [Aida, you can perasan I don't mind!! 
] Needless to say there isn’t much one can do but to take the bull by the horns and just deal with it. Perhaps I am just putting myself under too much pressure or perhaps I have no confidence in myself. Either way, it ain’t helping me at all. But one thing I can say is that, the kids must know that there is less 1 pair of hands to help out and have been angels [touch wood, touch wood] so I really can’t complain. Got to go get dinner ready for Arianna now..here’s hoping I live through the night! lol 
*You’ll notice how I’m trying to un-jinx myself by saying ‘touch wood’ coz truth be known, if I say anything good about the kids – things just turn for the worst the next minute!!*
