mommy's note : managing the next 24 (48hrs to go)

i took it a little slower today - but still it was tiring and i didn't manage to rest. (boo hoo....)

wat i did for the day:
1. bath mon cherie - getting harder now to bend forward with a bigger tummy and a naughtier toddler!
2. had breakfast together... this is the best part of the day as she has good appetite and was willing to walk around the living room by herself, and me not having to carry her ALL the time.
3. play time - she's bored with her toys, so she ventured into the spare room and messed up all the nicely folded clothings and hand towels in the drawers! grrrr....
4. milk and nap - thank goodness for this looooong break! she napped from 10.15am - 1.30pm!!
5. in between time - i sweep, clean, wash, did laundry, prepare lunch and check office & personal emails and blog!
6. feed lunch - and teaching her self-feeding at the same time (see other post)
7. play time - sing-a-long and motor-skill time (hp, remote controls, kitchen drawers, CDs, etc)
8. 'almost' spanking time - she refused to nap after half an hour of me rocking her in the yaolan! grrr... i almost fell asleep in the process but she kept tossing n turning n calling me or kicking her beanie pillow towards me!! almost got a spanking from me if not for her daddy who came back early to her rescue!

gosh... it was not exactly very tough since i only need to cook lunch for 2 as dinner was at the in-laws' place. but darn with such an active toddler, i doubt i will be able to get any rest with her at home!

but i must be thankful for the rest of the evening... dinner was provided (i had a very big serving; practically ate 2 side dishes all by myself and one big bowl of soup!! wat to do, i am tired AND hungry!!!) and later on, my in-laws help took care of mon cherie for me while i 'nua' on the sofa and watch tv!

ohhh... i dare NOT think about what the next 24hrs will be like tomorrow... brrrrr....
