... when I have to repeat myself not once but 3 times. Gotto even raise voice before the kids get my message.
... when things are not done despite telling and reminding many, many times...usual lah kids right? Daddy just have to give a stern look.
... when I say 'No' many, many times. They just don't take me that seriously. Daddy just have to say once.
... when I take the trouble to explain things and reason out but still make the same mistakes. How many times must I say!
... when my advise go down the drain...left ear in and right ear out.
... when teaching their school work. Patience meter very very low.
... when they suddenly misbehave in public. Seldom lah but still.......
... when I'm having conversation with friends and they (esp. princess no. 1) came calling "mummy, mummy". Must say excuse me!
... when I clear their room. You'll never know how many pieces of papers all over the place. Kept telling them how many trees they have killed. (Princess No. 1 is using that same line to No. 2)
... when I clean up their toys under the staircase. Simply arrange and didn't put them back at the correct place. Look so messy!!!
... when they take ages to get ready eventhough I already said 'hurry up, we are late'. No sense of urgency!
... when princess no. 1 bring non school stuff to school. As if the bag is not heavy enough!
... when this happen .... scribble on a magazine that I borrow from gym!!!!!!!!!!!!!! First time ever princess no. 2 did this. She loves to draw and I have tons of recycle papers and some books for her. Some work book with plain cardboard cover, she will draw and decorate nicely. But NEVER on our books. I was really mad and disappointed.
didn't manage to take picture...was too mad... she wrote Alyssa's name on the cover of magazine (and also tried to fill some details on the subsription cards)
Kids.........never know what they can surprise you. Sometimes feel like giving them a smack and "What were you thinking?"
Princess No. 1 - Ayssa is going to be 9 years old
Princess No. 2 - Hannah is 5 1/2 years old
Although generally they are very well behave and seldom cause trouble but a lot of times really drive me up the wall. BUT Alyssa is very caring and takes good care of her little sister (and also my friends little children). Hannah loves to do funny stuff that makes me laugh and she's good in answering you intelligently.
Conclusion...it's not that easy to be a good mummy. I pray that my children will be proud of having me as their mother...maybe write some winning essays...hahaha!

Olive Tree Guitar Ensemble - Hi! A lot of mummys out there always sacrifice for their children. I'm glad I've learn to love myself too. Thanks for your encouragement.
I guess every kid messes up and test our patience some of the time!
Sometimes I think God put them on earth for that purpose!
Those days I love to fill details on the subcription card too. Do I deserve a smack? :P
My mom used to nag..."If a small kid mess up the place still ok, but you girls ar...so big already still cannot behave well!"
Sigh...I find it very hard to keep my cool also.
There are times Zoe will go to her Daddy and tell him, "Mommy scold!" with a very sad face...
I guess the learning path to being a good mother never ends...
Ann - I stop asking God for patience! No more testing, please.
Julie - Children just love to do that. Alyssa still does but usually will ask first.
Ponytail - Zoe is so cute.
