j tan, you have it too? irritating rite? i couldn't sleep for a long time yest nite after logging off here. but that feeling's gone now. i wonder if it has something to do with the sciatic nerve...?
xoxo, i had plenty of support during my SAHM stint.. my girlfrens were always coming over. they're the best la. known them since sec 1 so we've been tru thick and thin. we still meet up at least every weekend then. BUT, i still went berserk lei.. it's just not easy taking care of a small kid at home. they have days when they're good. days when they're cranky and nothing you do will settle them. so dealing with their whines constantly can gnaw on your nerves hence the going crazy la. hehe
maybe i just don have that patience of a saint la. i must qualify it's NOT all bad. it was pretty cool. but it's also nice to be out working den come back to kiddo to play play. Would i still do it all over again though? Hell yes!
with regards to maternity wear, i think this time round i don't have to spend so much since my current wardrobe consists of more baggy clothes unlike the last time. i need new pants though. so far only bought a pair of jeans from thyme and just got the length altered at far east yest. the rest of pants, will wait for my fren to return me my old maternity pants. passed them to her when she got preggy.
strange that you mentioned spending more money when you're at home. i've actually managed to save a LOT of money from staying home. save on daily cab fares from work to home. my huby works really weird hours. he sends me to work in the morning but cannot depend on him to fetch me back in the evenings. so i usually take a cab back from work, stop at my mom's, fetch my son (and our packed dinner) then continue home. and that's usually about $14/day during peak hours. so staying home, means less cabbing, means save more. hehe
my hubby is a personal trainer amongst other things so he works ALLLLL the time. on sat and sun mornings is when he conducts his bootcamps. then afternoons, he meets up with his personal clients to work with them at their gyms. def cannot depend on him for babysitting la. hehe.. i usually fly solo most weekends even when i go for meet ups with my usual girlfrens. he comes and joins us only when he's done. i cab every where with my son as my sidekick
i still wanna try make it though. my mom is going US in mid april for 2 weeks. during that time my son will prob have to stay over at my MIL at pasir ris. when that happens, i will only pick him up on weekends. so maybe that time i will be able to squeeze in the aqua fitness classes. will work something out and let you know ok?
shugar, i don't sleep well these days too. the slightest things will wake me up. i used to have really vivid dreams earlier on too. weird ones. but now don have. i think sleep too shallow to go into my REM dreaming stage.
