I thought I would not have another chance to go and look for one but alas, after the incident that almost made me lost my sanity, we were able to get our new car! Finally, our own. It’s not something to be really flaunting about but at least it’s brand new and something we can be proud about.

So, once again, I was swamped with a lot of car insurance quotes in my mailbox. I know I have to go and select the best one but since the unit is brand new, we got the insurance that was tied up with our dealer. We wanted to have a smooth and problem free negotiations should be there claims.

Since my twins started going to school, they have been very cooperative and they have good study habits, minus the school behavior. To encourage my kids more to excel and enjoy school, I have set up a place for them to study and the area should be conducive to learning. There should be less distraction and of course, there should be proper lights for the area as well. Kids are prone to be distracted from studying especially if there is television in the area, thy will have the tendency to focus their attention on the television not in their school work. The earlier we train our children to have a good study habits, the better it will be for them in the future.

Now I am a little challenge on how I can have them behave a bit when they are in school. There are always new adventures each day.

Yes they are! My once tiny, little, cute, puny little babies are now big girls and they are all set to go to school come June 15! These girls will surely get me into getting an anti wrinkle cream very soon. I got them to fit their uniforms and took a couple of photos. Hey – they gladly posed for a few shots!

I just liked that uniform! I wish ours was like that during our time. Yeah – they will be going to the same school I went when I was in high school. Well, it’s a little far from home but that was the only school who allowed them to enroll for Kinder 2 even without attending Kinder 1. They were just asked to take and pass the entrance examination and fortunately, these little girls were bright and they both passed so here they are, Kinder 2 (or Preparatory in some schools) this coming school year. Five years went on really quick. Who would’ve thought that they were once this small?

See how the nurse and I are holding their heads with 2 fingers while the rest are supporting their neck? That’s how tiny they were before – 1529 grams and 1526 grams by birth. They were so fragile.

But look at them now – so cute, cuddly and most of all naughty!

It will only be a matter of weeks and the kids will start schooling this year. Goodness! Time flew really fast I barely even noticed that my little girls are now ready for school. We intentionally wanted to send them to school last year but hubby backed out and said he still wanted to let them enjoy being kids and just play so they had extra year of playing.

Early this year, I asked several toddlers schools and they are not accepting students who did not take Kinder 1, meaning, they wanted my kids to attend K1 despite them having good academic exam results. We kept looking and finally, there was one that is result oriented and allowed the kids to enroll after successfully passing the entrance examination. It’s a Catholic school and my Alma Mater (I studied there in High School).

Going back, now that the kids will start schooling, I will no longer be just busy about work and I might be in need of some pronexin. Getting up early will become a normal routine in our household. I will always need to prepare breakfast extra early and then bathe the kids, dress them and get them ready to school before I prepare myself to go to work. The once busy life will even be busier and this time, there is no turning back. It will be reality that we will soon come to face LOL!

My sister-in-law (the one taking care of my kids in my stead, with my mom) went home to her province on vacation. I was left alone with the kids during the first week and I kinda freaked out on the first day. The kids are so naughty, the house is too dirty, the kitchen and the bathroom stinks, the garage looks more like a junkyard. It’s basically clutter all over! It was the first time I came to realize that the house is horrific!

Th first night, I cleaned until 1AM and was able to tidy at least a corner in the house. It was a big accomplishment when you see how dirty it is all over. That little corner being cleaned made a big impact on how the house will generally look like when it is clean. It was physically exhausting to get all things done in one day so I decided I will do it little by little. Only to realize that every day would mean new clutter and I will have to redo the tasks over and over. It wasn’t just physical, it was exhausting in every aspect!

Until now, I have not been able to completely clean the house and I am going to add a  dehumidifier too. I am doing it little by little and as I go on, I discover a lot of things about being a wife, a mother and a good housekeeper. It is a never ending task with a big responsibility of molding your child and taking care of them in their growing up years. I just wish I will have more time to be with them soon.
