what's up with SAHM Lindee ?

Phew... Salute to all SAHM ( Stay at home mummies)..

it's an exciting and adrenaline pumping career having to keep up with the high energy G-kidz who are ever ready to surprise me everyday with their new demands, needs and IDEAS!!!!

Indeed, as a SAHM, there's only one thing that has been constant for me EVERYday... that is CHANGES!

Just when I could pat my back and sign a big relief when baby Gabriel slept thru the night at only 11 weeks , he starts to pop up last month ( 5 months) at 3 am / 5am /630am and starts crying for his milk . So it was time to feed him solids.... then there was peace again for a week but only for a week and he started popping up at exactly 3 am again......... this time it was TEETHING!

Gracia's appetite and preference for food also changes every day!
Gracia's adjusting to school and her attitute towards school also varies! 1st 3 weeks surprsisingly happy in school w/o me and then just last week she would go into a big tantrum before school, crying and begging me to go with her. Thank God things are getting better at school

SAHM.... not something for the faint hearted with so many multiple roles to play!


Entertainer - Dancer, Singer, Clown , Drama Queen , Story Teller
Chef - your audience doesn't give you much grace for lousy lunch food!
Nutritionist - Assessing if the kids have had all the good food from the various food categories
Doctor - self explainatary....
Chauffeur - Ferry Gracia to and from school
Comfort Provider - to wipe away the tears and give assuring hugs when G-kids are fearful
Discipline Mistress - this is one of the toughest .. very energy sapping and brain draining coz of the various strategies involved!
..... and the list goes on.......=)


But one of the things that I've learnt is ...

BE POSITIVE , LAUGH and SEEK HELP from like minded pple! The Tough times dun last!

Also, I learnt that I have a extraordinary patient, wise and loving husband who has been taking so good care of us all esp ME ! =)

Love ya Daddy Johnson!
