Sitting in the car with sleeping Emily after sending Eliza to school. It's one more week before my mil leaves. I'm very very grateful that she was here for 3 months, helping us so much while Ww was away doing his field work. At the same time I'm looking forward to her return to SG.
This is different from the first time she was here. Then I worried whether I can handle it myself. But once we got into the groove of things, it was really enjoyable. Of course there were days when I just bummed around with Eliza or when I just lost my cool with Eliza cos Emily couldn't sleep well. But we learn. And I enjoyed the freedom and independence I never had.
Just like H said, that I will enjoy being on my own. No one to impose their ideas n ways so that I can find my own way of doing things. Certainly I learnt much from my mil and we enjoy her food but I didn't have the freedom to do things the way I like (without a comment or two). Well, we were saying we'll be back to our routines n groove once my mil leaves. I will have one less person to watch the girls but I'll work around that. It is possible :)
Also back to cooking my simple meals and hope I can squeeze time in to make extras n desserts with the girls. Looking forward to more outdoors and walks with Eliza too.
