I Hate Cleaning

When we need to take care our house alone, i said to hubby that i hate cleaning so hubby take over that duty...., In the beginning i always rely on him but you know he also busy so sometimes the duty were neglected... I try to stand with some dust and friends but then i can't hold it too long until hubby available to clean it... I may hate cleaning but i was raised in a family who are neat freak... my mom and dad are well organized, very very very well... so now i don't rely him too much and try to clean it by myself because i need to live in clean and neat environment too. So proud of me hahaha.... anyway thanks to my parent for the clean house and the  good model in taking care of the house..., In the end i wish i have a robot who can detect the dust and friends and clean it right away... :p

Full Time Mom vs Working Mom

If you looking for some statement to defend one side or to make one side looks better than the other then maybe you just read a wrong post.. because i don't want to talk about it... sorry Do you know what??? Because when you make some statement about one side, the other side will feel their sacrifice were useless... Thats it, i guess...

Small Talk

When hubby watch his football team play on tv, i always try to disturb him with silly questions.. He's really cute because he always answer every question, so multitasking... good job Since his priority focus on tv so i try to talk about my day when i taking care our aleena i said to him i think i was hard to aleena... sometimes i complain it a lot and also yelling at her... The point is i showed her a bad side of me very often, few things that never happened when i was working,, i told him one case and suddenly he came up with a suggestion how to solve the problem, and yap i was so surprised.. I always thought this is my job, and hubby has his office job. We can't help each other because we don't really understand about the job, but i was wrong he is quite better than me and i feel helpless because i can't help him too.... you work so hard,, very hard...  thank you very much.. if there something i can do for you....

Now What

A phrase that always comes everyday.. Or in other word "i'm bored and maybe we're bored" Everyday i wonder if i can get some fresh activity for me and aleena... but stil i can't... Being sahm means i'm a time and place  controller....  it also means we can do anything but in the reality we do nothing... Anyway, at least  i always to figure out new things every night.. I hope later maybe starting tomorrow i can write our activity.... a different one...something that out of the box... amiin Ok..... done for today... it's 2:31 AM.... Let's sleep again,  hubby.....

Potty Training

About few months ago, before aleena's age reach two years.. I have thought about this potty training... I was wondering about when will i start..

But it didn't mean we stop this training because we still bring her to the bathroom every one hour.., second week no more diaper, aleena has started to understand about pees in the ba...
