I need new pants!

It's almost midnight and I can't effing sleep. I need my flu pills! Urgh. I didn't bring any marking home so I can't mark myself to sleep. Haha.

Just found out that freaking Dunearnite will be held at ACJC. Like, WTF?! No June holidays, a lot of work but hey... I lost a lot of weight during the course of Dunearnite 07 so I might lose a lot more this time round. I must think positive yah?

I have so much work to do. It's really annoying. I also have to shop for pants. My old ones keep slipping to the floor everytime I put them on. I don't know whether to be happy or sad. I am soooo darn pathetic.

I'm really tired nowadays. The house is a mess but I just can't bring myself to be the Energizer bunny I once was. I think I've lost it. Some students in my form class even asked me in class today whether I was drunk coz I was teaching and laughing (for no apparent reason) at the same time. Is that a bad sign? Am I really going bonkers?

Life is such an irony. I should have studied harder and been a doctor. Then I can reward myself with MCs whenever I think I've worked too hard. For now, I just drag myself out of bed every weekday morning and try to mould the future of the nation. Hmm... ya, right.

Negativities aside, life ain't so bad, yah? In fact, life's good. It's very good. Come, repeat it with me. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good (wait... dejavu). Shucks... I have nothing to wear to school tomorrow. I really don't fancy putting on "down there" pants. I need to buy new pants (haven't I said that already?).

I need sleep. Sleep is good...so is life. Yups.

What Keeps Me Sane...

The girls and I hung out early this week. We had our "us" time. It was good.


Then, yesterday, me and An brought Ayra to "Snow City". We didn't bring Fuddin cause we figured it would be too cold for his liking and were we right! It was -5.3 degrees celsius lah! We had fun though although it was a bit too cold. We went down the slide 4 times. It was a pretty expensive trip though but it was worth it. I felt like a kid lying down in the "snow"! We will bring Fuddin there when he's like Ayra's age. We weren't allowed to take photos though so this is all I have. I paid like $15 for the group pic so it better be good.

Life is Good? Life IS Good!

Ok, the kids are taking their afternoon nap and I'm supposed to be marking 5 Pearls's personal recounts but I'm itching to post. The problem is, I don't have any photos and we didn't really go anywhere this weekend so I'm stuck. Still, I will try.

So let's talk about work. I've survived 1 and a 1/2 week of school. How was it? Not too bad. My classes are pretty okay. I'm a bit stressed up over the 5Ns though. I've got to make them all pass the "O"s! It's scary but I'll do my best. I do hope they won't lose steam halfway and give up though.

Anyway, last Friday, we celebrated dear Carol's birthday. We went out for a meal, just us 4 girls. We talked (really talked) and ate. We had a pretty enlightening time. Anyway girls, I'm really thankful for your friendship. I really don't know how to stay sane if I didn't have all your support, companionship, witty anecdotes, quirkiness and most of all, your love. I love you guys (Awwwww.....).

At home, things are the same. Fuddin has been a bit unwell but he's coping. Grandma and Grandad says he's getting more mischievous by the day but hey, I see that as a natural and healthy progression. As for Ayra, she's the same. She's learning new things at school and her reading has improved. She's becoming more outspoken though and demands an explanation for everything which is good but tiring at times.

As for the hubby, things are also the same. He's bored when I'm at work and he's off work but he'll survive. Also, the fact that he's not going fishing till March is also killing him. Don't worry dear, the fishes will still be out there (wry smile).

As for me, what can I say? My mind is still in a mess. I don't really sleep well at night. Only my girls will know why. Still, I know there is a light at the end of every dak tunnel and somehow, I will find that light. How and when I find that light is still a mystery but I'm optimistic. I have to be. If not, I'll drown.

Life is good. I need to continuously repeat that to myself every single day. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good. Life is good.
