Home alone

posted in Uncategorized |

Whew! At last I was able to blog today. Since my schedule in OHJ has been changed, I had a hard time getting myself to get on here just before I start my shift. Last time my schedule was only Saturday and Sunday (12midnight to 8 am) and I still do coding during weekdays but it is always on graveyard shift. So this gives me enough time to do my post and do some blog hopping. But now my schedule is 5pm to 1am Monday to Sunday and I still have not made myself adjust to blog earlier. I do not know why I just loved blogging in the evening…when the day is about to end and I could write what has transpired during the day. I hate blogging this early (before 5pm) because I am pretty sure there are still many things to happen later tonight.

But anyway, this is my problem not yours LOL I am glad that MsE has moved my schedule to earlier hours so I could get enough sleep during the night which I really really really need.

This morning Ella had her second examination in Mathematics and Science and tomorrow will be Language and English. Donald walked her to school earlier than usual and Ella was given test papers. Donald left her there as usual and went back home. My fellow coders sent an SOS message right after they left so I logged in and found out that the queue is more than 500!!! (we should maintain a queue of 30 or less) so I was here coding the rest of Ella’s class. When it was almost 10am, Donald left to fetch her but Ella emerged from the door beaming right after Donald left. She walked home alone again and took the main road. So Donald was there looking for her around the school and the neighborhood for a good amount of time until he decided to check if Ella was already home. And she was here smiling when Donald appeared on the door. I told Ella NOT to pass on the main road and that she should go in the road they usually take. That she might get hit by a vehicle and that Daddy and her would meet on the road in case she will be released from their class earlier. Oh well, how could I make her wait for her Daddy to fetch her at school? I told her that twice. To wait for Donald or me to get her but she just could not stand the waiting. She is such a very impatient girl. I do not know she took the main road when she always love seeing the goats by the road they always take. She said to me the other day that the goats can understand English very well because when she said “EXCUSE ME….” while passing by, the goats in the middle of the road made way for her. LOL

But then I thought she is already 5 and yet we are babying her while the other kids her age goes to school and home all by themselves. Maybe we need to accept that our baby is a big girl now and soon to be a big sister. So we practiced leaving her at home with her Ate Tadiday while me and Donald went grocery shopping this afternoon. At first it was very hard to convince her not to go with us. She used to go along when me and Donald leaves the house. Maybe she feels alone when we both go out but she can let me leave her to Donald’s care without a fuss. Only when both Mommy and Daddy walks out the door (which just happened today since we moved here) that she was like being abandoned and home alone. LOL

 On the other note, I remember seeing a shop in the mall in the city which sells shirts with pictures in it done with airbrush. I was trying to figure out how they do it and hope to try it myself.

    I don’t think you are babying her by walking her to and from school… I know that things are different in our countries, but here it is too dangerous to let a 5 year old walk out by themselves. Too many pedifiles. :( Too many little kids getting kidnapped. I think I would have a hard time letting Jared walk to school alone (you know, if he went to public school and it wasn’t 6 1/2 miles away *lol* … Our kids would actually have to take the school bus here, because we live so far out of town).
