What a day, what a day, what a day! Yesterday we had a very busy day!
We started off our day, by going to all places which sell toys, so we could buy a red wagon for Leia. She loves to ride on the wagon though, unfortunately, the wagon that we saw cost us a fortune, and we felt it was not worthed that way. I mean, well, she probably will play it until she was 5, then where should we put it after that? So, the search for little red wagon is still continue. We met my inlaws for lunch, then we went back to our house, since Leia just had about 30 minutes to eat and shower before her next agenda, neighboor 1st b'day party. After we went to tha b'day party, which probably was just about 10 minutes that we stayed, Leia was off to her next meeting, her very 1st hallowen party! She decided not to wear her costume, she cried and cried instead, so I took it off, and let her be comfortable with her cotton dress that she got from her aunty Bea. She loved it there at the party, she saw lots of children wearing different, colorful, and very nice costume. When the music started, she danced and danced, she laughed when a boy with a superman costume made a fool of himself, she chased a boy with a crocodile costume, and she tried to avoid being chased by an indian boy.....SO FUN! And every body looks at her, she was the smallest among other children, but yet, she was actively running and chassing big kids! What a brave little girl!
From there, we went home, Leia went straight to bed, and I proceeded to prepare our Sunday. Before I went to bed, I went on line, and check on my email. And then, there was a little thought came up to my mind! I thought I would like to call a friend that I always keep close to my heart, so I did! I called JILL!
At the moment that she picked up the phone, I know, I miss not just her, but every thiing that I left behind. Then, Jill came up with this question, "Do you like your life?" and I said, "Yes, I like my life, I think this is as good as it gets", then she proceeded to ask me more question, "Do you miss your simple life in here?" and I said, "Yes...I miss how convinient it was there, for example, I don't have to look around and ask around just to find a costume for leia, I would simply went to target and get the costume mysefl!" Then she said, " Yes, the convinient of it, you don't miss the simple life in here, in fact, it is not simple at all, For instance, take me, I have 2 children, I have to get up, get them up, get them ready, drop one of them to school and the other one to the day care, and I went to work. Then in the evening, every body is back at 6 pm, then I have to cook dinner, while my 3 years old cling with me. My house is a mess, and I feel tired all the time!"
So, here I am, having a nanny who takes care of leia pretty much 24 hours a day 7 days a week if I want to, a driver who drives me around town (so why am I complaining about trafic jam? I am not even driving!) a mother, who cooks and prepares lunch for me and dinner for my family, and my grand mother who supervises the nanny who takes care of Leia. So, what could I possibly ask for more?
Sometime, I know and I believe that a truly friend will put you in the prespective. More so that you see your life, other people could judge, but a friend will tell you the truth.
I spent a good hour talking to Jill, we talked about our daughters, her next trip to Africa to visit Becky (also our friend), a little red wagon that we are trying to find for Leia, and so much more. I really wish that I could spend halloween with them, that Leia can go trick or treat it along her beautiful neighboohood.
