tough week

Because our nanny is visiting her hometown .. I managed to get my annual leave ( with note : that I'm available on call if there's any urgent matters, alritey then ) ..
A lot of work to be done to maintain our house not too damaged (caused by my three little rascals creativity) .. but I enjoyed every minute of it. My favorite moments :
- when I mop the floor, and Al wants to walk on it.. I told him not too because it's slippery. What he did : he tip toed !!
- when Shafa told me why she refused to go outside because she envied her sister playing with other cousins
- when Al refuse to take a nap, and wanted to accompany me had lunch .. and after a few minutes he fell asleep while hugging me
- when Kaysa and I laugh hard after commenting her fellow friends / school activities
- when Shafa and Al wanted to eat their meal hastily
- our day off at fun world / bambino grand indo after daddy went to his office to sign some papers (it's on thursday afternoon until 10 pm wohoooo)
and many more (i should've wrote it before they slipped my mind)

But now the nannies are back, so mom need to get back to work, back to oriflame, lolalolybugsy and many other matters .. but I treasure my last week with the kiddos .. and I miss them already much :'(

happy bday to me

I can't count the blessings that had been given to me .. thank you dear God for everything

today

My husband is away for business trips .. which is sucks cause today is my bday..
I can't asked for a leave since my leave quota is dedicated for next month when my nanny will go to visit her hometown.
My boss .. well he said I've been asking too many times for permission leave :P ..
so I end up here in my office doing daily routine ..

Since a few weeks ago my fellow mommies talked about schools for their kids.. some are thinking of putting their kids to another school which they think is more qualified. I found many schools have better methods but looking at their tuition .. I repel sending my kids to go there. I found my kids current school is not that bad .. well many times I was disappointed cause the teacher could not give more attention to my kids, but when I'm in his/her position I'd probably do the same. There are 20+ kids in the classroom so it's hard to maintain our emotions and keep being cheerful/nice and at the same time pay good attentions to every kid.

In reality, kids need to be faced that the environment sometimes are not that friendly. Sometimes we have to fight and strive to get what we want, not waiting until someone give it to us. So I try not to rely on the school too much. Teacher are human like us too, and they can not guarantee that our children will be able to do math/reading through their studying time at school. We as parents still need to guide our children, thought them what they need to know in a fun way. We know them more than their teacher knows them, and we have plenty of time to spend with them, so I think parents are still better teacher for their children.

>>Praying and hoping that our kids can go through whatever curriculum set for them, and be successful leaders in the future<<

some medicine note

My 3 kids are often got caught on flu, sore throat, and fever. Our companies don't cover our kids out patient .. and you know how expensive if we need to go to doctor every time our kids suffer from a disease .. It can cost 300-400rb IDR per children.
Luckily my dear aunt is a pediatrics so I often consult with her. From time to time, my children were given similar prescriptions;
If they got fever caused by an infection (which you can see from their throat, it should be reddish), she would prescribed amoxsan syrup (from baby until 15kg) or amoxsan forte syrup (from 15 kg). Those are antibiotics that should be finished in 3-4 days. Do not let our kids drink any milk before and after they took the antibiotics. Allow 30mins - 1 hour time in between.
If they got a flu/sore throat (not the heavy one), I give them natrabio cough and flu syrup. It cost us 150rb per bottle, but it is made from herbal medicine so it's safe for our kids.
If they got a quite heavy cough / sore throat, they should be given mucopect/mucos/any syrup with ambroxol when the cough came with slam. For dry cough, my aunt often recommends transpulmin (1/2 sdt for children under 2 years old).

is it ok ?

I'm having my period and my mood is a bit jumpy ..
I realized that I really need to loose some weights so I plan to do little exercise every night. I looked for the video over Youtube.
However, my daughters last night are watching youtube for princesses movie .. after 9 o'clock I beg them to switch for my video (please.. mommy really need some exercise). You know how kids can be so selfish ? I really don't know the best way to handle it. Sometimes I told them nicely to share with others .. and last night it didn't work. So I started to use higher tone, because I don't want them to be selfish. And I want them to respect their parents.. I know it sounds horrible when you speak like that to your children. It might make you like a bad mom who didn't love their kids .. but at the same time kids should know there are boundaries ..
(well I prefer to do it in a room with no one else around).

Enough about my rambling. I want to post a knit dress I made for my 2nd daughter. I just love the color combo.
I don't know why Shafa posed like that (with holding the cup as is she's drinking something). Well that girl is something ^^

stop press

Stop press !!! my baby boy is standing !!!
well he's been doing that since weeks ago, but not as high as this one .. and not as long as this one too
I know this milestone might be a bit late compared to other kids, but who cares ?
we are currently sad .. because our fridge (given by my parents) is broken .. I'm really really hoping it could get fixed tomorrow (without much costs). Why we're so sad ? because we used to put many food for kids / for stock in it. Since I'm working I don't have much time to do grocery, so I tend to buy many food for stock.
Yesterday I bought this frozen butter croissant, but since the fridge is broken, the butter croissants were expanding, popped and ready to explode. My kids are playing with it, my nannies didn't know what to do and too busy with the kids. When I found out after I got home, I hurriedly open it up and bake them .. Thank goodness they are still in good conditions.


Do you know that my girls adore their baby brother? They do, they like to hug him, kiss him .. which I think is very cute ^^




PS : all pictures were taken by my nanny since it all happening when I was in the office / at the road "P
