Been a hectic week but all good. 
After all was done, Cool Daddy picked up the guitar and played this song and I sang along with him.
Hide me now under Your wings
Cover me within Your mighty hand
Find rest my soul in Christ alone
Know His power in quietness and trust
When the oceans rise and thunders roar
I will soar with You above the storm
Father, You are King over the flood
I will be still and know You are God
I was refreshed.
Ok folks, I too would like to do my bit on saving the Environment for future generations. Of course, there are many ways to do just that and I will pace myself before going all out. Hehehe…

My first step is to ’say No to Plastics’… err, that is, to Plastic Grocery Bags. *Bertimbun sudah bah di rumah juga. Bikin semak ja!* So I already bought those re-usable Tote Bags from Giant Supermarket and have been consciously informing Check Out Cashiers that you may put my groceries in the Tote Bag please.
Have you seen those bags on the Giant shelves yet? Ada sign besar-besar lagi bilang “Use Giant Recycle Bags!” gitu. Hehe…
Here’s the thing. Orang2 Supermarket ni pula yang macam nda tau pamacam pakai itu benda! (The folks at the Supermarket didn’t seem to know the practise for the ‘green’ bags) I had one Cashier ask me, “har?? taruh dalam sini?? Ohh… *with a delayed tone* … Bah…” (Er, put these in here…? Oh, okayy..)
So how?? ;-p
Ok, here’s another area in the whole Full-Time-Mommy-Homemaker career that I could kick up a notch – coming up with activities for the children to do during school holidays!
) One day, I caught Miss Mel on one side of a small table and the Youngest One on the other side. And I heard a ‘toot’ sound every so often. Then I realised One was being the Cashier at the Checkout Counter of Giant Supermarket. ;-P
If I lived to be 70 and I will be 36 this year, then I would have reached the mid-life milestone.
A large part of the first half of my life was spent trying to figure things out. When my father died when I was six, my life changed forever. I fought hard all those years to attain at least a resemblance of what I thought life should be. Accepting the fact that Dad would no longer be a part of my life for the rest of my life took a long time. I have also only since accepted that as much as I had fought to have the ‘normal’ life, the fact is my life isn’t ‘normal’. The decisions I make for my life would look somewhat different to a person who grew up with the same set of parents all their lives. This fact crystallized for me in my own Children, young as they are. My Eldest Girl is only one year older than I was when my father left unexpectedly and I can see it has made all that difference.
So what will the second part look like?
I’ll take a tip from John Maxwell, Leader to the Leaders… ‘Though you cannot go back and make a brand new start, my friend – Anyone can start from now and make a brand new end’. Beginning with a solid relationship with The Hubby, I would like to raise my Children to use their potential to the maximum they can, while not taking for granted the basic virtues of hope, faith and love.
Ok. I gotta go now. My Girls have invited me to their Tea Party in their room. Don’t want to be late for the Darlings.
I got this in my email some years back. Still makes me smile.
“For when two or three are gathered together in My name, I am there in the midst of them.” (Matthew 18:20)
So does this count? )
One day while waiting to pick up Miss D from School, Miss Mel remarked…
“Mommy, when I grow up I want to be either Driver or Cleaner.”
Mommy: “Driver or Cleaner?”
Miss Mel: “Ya.. Like you and Daddy. Cos Mommy Driver, Daddy Cleaner mah…”
;-p
