..At The End Of June

Time is flying and here we are at the end of June, and tomorrow July 1st, my daughter, Grace will turn to 34 months, it's hard to believe that she will be three years old in just two months, with ups and down as a mom, with more and more challenging....
And yesterday was tough for me, she melted down, crying, screaming tried to create her own rule, I put her in her bed so that she can have 'time out' but then she peed on her pants,...(she already well potty trained during day time)....the previous moment was, she refused 'rice' that I already prepared, which was happend in the ceramic bowl..(my fault)...then she slapped the bowl, the bowl broken and rice spreaded out every where on our hardwood floor....aaaaarghhhh!!...
And communication is challenging with our children because we do not often speak in the same language, I applied the lesson I learned from my daughter to my relationship.

Dream House

June for me is mark of 'one year blogging', I don't know if someday I decide not to continue it, because of some reasons, but it's okay to not put this in stress situation, infact it's a place where I can coordinate my fingers and my brain and just say something and not worry if someone out there will read this or not....'right?

We haven't visit swimming pool at our apartment complex, the weather sometimes not warm enough to do sun bathing. So Grace an I haven't worn our bathing suit since the beginning of summer...(funny thing,..my sweetie pie said 'bathing soup' instead of bathing suit..)

Starting this mid June, we are officially house hunting, after we have Grace, things change, we are looking a house with backyard or backyard and front yard, so that Grace can running arround, planting apple tree or cherry tree, or hiding some rocks....LoL...Thank you for my husband for this 'idea' and May God Bless Us, finding the right house. Ameen.

Today am 'officially' sleep deprive again, after last night my little miss muffet went to bed at 10:15 and woke up at 1:40's and woke up early at 5:03....fhhhh...aaarrrh....and with my hormonal situation.....created light headache....whooo whooo!...I wish I could be in Legian Beach, Bali right now, enjoying the hot sands and not worry become tan!...

Summer Cleaning

Bersih bersih rumah rasanya ga abis abis dech!!..adaa aja!, dari kamar tidur, bathrooms, dapur, waah..penginnya import satu 'Inem' dari kampung halaman-ku, apa daya...si Inem ga bisa di pack,...makanya aku pake akal nich, dalam sehari aku tentuin, bagian mana yang harus dibersihin, kalo ga gitu ya, bisa gempor tangan ama kaki..apalagi kalo lagi bersihin satu ruangan atau tempat, musti nunggu dulu anakku tidur siang, kalo ngga pas dia nonton tivi, jadi ga ada gangguan gitu....
Tapi puas juga kalo liat kamar atau ruangan bersih, ga ada clutter,.rasanya tuch kayak abis bikin PR sekolah dulu...lega ...ga...!...
Spring atau Summer Cleaning emang kayak udah tradisi di Amrik, mungkin karena temperature hangat ya, jadi enak aja, keluar masuk rumah, trus buangin barang barang yang udah ga kepake. Yang namanya Garage Sale bertebaran dech di neighborhood-ku, tinggal telaten apa nggak gitu, nyari barang murah meriah tapi bener bener kepake. Jangan beli yang ga penting dan perlu, ntar bikin clutter baru lagi...nach loe!...
Jadwal ke park juga makin sering aja nich, ...seringnya aku ajak anakku sebelum lunch dan sebelum nap time, kalo nggak ya aku sengaja bawa bekal lunch jadi bisa makan siang di park, ntar tinggal pulang dan nap aja...

visit Library

Udah aku rancang juga some activities yang bisa buat anakku enggak nonton tivi mlulu,...yang nempel nempel stickers di cardboard lhah, nggambar, melukis, main bola, nanam bunga, pergi ke library tiap hari Jumat....and so on. Kita udah punya jadwal Summer Holiday, tapi nanti masih sekitar akhir Agustus, karena anakku blom masuk pre-school jadi kita ga terbentur jadwal masuk sekolah, yang disini nich biasanya pada balik lagi ke sekolah biasanya setelah libur Labor Day awal September yang tahun ini jatuh tanggal 5 September.
