I am not a fan of jacuzzi or hot tub in particular before when we got this house, i cannot care less about it although i did benefit from it past winter. During Summer, Des cranked down the heat of the tub and let the girls used it as swimming pool. It was great.
Unfortunately, lately, Desmon discovered something was wrong with the tub, either the breaker is broken or just broke period. The funny thing is now I miss the tub. Hopefully soon Des will find out the problem and actually have the time to get it fixed.
I LOVE my family! I never would have thought I would be THIS lucky. But, here I am, a mother of two lovely girls (princesses) and a wife to a “bitter-sweet” husband. It is exactly how I feel at this moment and it feels great.
I don’t really know how to explain the feeling but I have this sudden burst of love towards my family. So, I decided to write on the blog hopefully this entry will remind me of the feeling I have when I am again lost in all the stress of routines. I love you!!!!
The day had come, my first born daughter is going to school now, preschool that is! I was more excited and nervous than Viola. I picked her 1st outfit which I had bought 2 years back and were glad that finally she could have the chance to wear it.
After I changed her, I asked her to pose for me. She struck some poses then she said “Ma! it’s enough” (妈！夠了）and walked away from me. She seems all grown up, my little baby.
It was pouring rain and Viola kept saying “all wet! all wet!” and I had to haul Adelia down who was really sleepy. It was really messy. Viola was running inside the classroom when I called her back to say good morning to the teacher, and then it happened. She froze, reversed, and clung on to me. Great Elisa! See what you have done??? About 5-10 mins later with Miss Mary persistently played with her then she was ok. No tears on the first day of school. YAY! Before I walked out the door, the teacher told us to come back at 11, I looked at my watch, it was already 9:50.
Side note: today was her 2nd day at school (Sept 11), she clung on to me tightly. The teacher asked me, “are you ready to leave?” I nodded reluctantly, she nodded reassured me that they could handle it and grabbed Viola from me. Viola just kicking and screaming and yelled “NOOOOOO!!!!” I fled to the door and off I went home with Adelia. I am sure the teacher had encountered many of these cases but it was a very first time for me. Actually, seeing your kid being taken away from you (even with your permission), it was really tough. All kind of mixed feeling flushed my heart-guilt, sadness, emptiness, you name it then it lead me to think maybe I should do 2 days a week, instead of 3 days. *sigh (pick her up just now, and the teacher said she was screaming for like 5 seconds-what a drama queen! )
In case you read this when you are a bit older Viola, I love you and please know that I went through the same thing in school too and I survived it. We all would eventually. Just hold onto your 阿頭 （pillow) then it will be all right. Have fun and make lots of friends. I love you!!!
I have meant to put these videos for a while now. Thanks for reminding me Ma! Here you go. How fussy eater Adelia is! Every meal time is a battle. I gave up and just fed her fruits, bread and yogurt. After couple of days of eating just that, Adelia started to receive noodles again. ha ha ha.
