2017 Week 19 Update

Yesterday was Mother’s Day and hope all you mums had a great time with your loved ones!

We took S’ mum and aunt out for a nice family dinner last night and it was an enjoyable evening spent chatting and spending time with family.

GG hand-made a very sweet Mothers Day card for me and was also the first one to wish me yesterday. BB, on the other hand, completely forgot about the day and only wished me after being prompted!

Other than that, the week was a usual ho-hum week, with nothing much happening. The children were at home a few days and as it is usual when they are at home, I hardly got anything done. School starts again on their regular schedule today for the next two weeks before they break for their mid-year holidays.

Have an awesome week folks!

Secondary 2 Week 19 Update 

Happy Mothers Day to all the lovely mum’s who read this blog!

Exams ended for both the children this week and they were home on Friday because it was marking day in both schools. 

Next week will be paper checking in school before they get their report books the week after next.

BB got the second highest marks in English, which his teacher messaged them in the class WhatsApp chat group. But the bar was set very low as only five children in a class of almost 40 passed! We need to wait till they get the papers back to see what actually happened. 

This week, BB will be performing in his school. His school’s Lifelong Learning Programme is music and the arts, so he is going to sing in the class concert. He just passed me the tickets yesterday so that’s something I am looking forward to. 

2017 Week 18 Update

In what seems like forever, I didn’t update this space on time. Well, there’s not much to share this week that perhaps I didn’t feel the need to do this weekly update!

I had quite a few weird dreams this week, some which didn’t make any sense at all to me, one in which I dreamt of a lady I know who recently passed away (I was not thinking of her at all in the days preceding the dream, which is what makes it quite weird).

Anyway, this is a new week and may this week be better than the previous week! Enjoy your Monday (no blues I hope)…..

Secondary 2 Week 18 Update

Again exam week. The week started with a public holiday on Monday which is the best kind of a holiday (other than a Friday holiday)!

BB had another day off because of Mother tongue exam so he was able to stay home and study for his exams. 

During the week, GG came back from her Maths exam saying there were some questions which they were not taught about. I immediately wrote to her maths teacher (after finding who he was in the school group photo and then digging his name and email address because GG didn’t know his full name and there were two male teachers with the last name in the Maths department). He got back to me the next day telling me they will get back to me and after a day, I got a couple of emails from the HOD explaining the situation. It was a logical explanation and I was happy with the outcome. What happened was a single line explanation last year made a 3 mark question this year! I am quite happy the school was quite proactive in reaching out to a parent to sort out the questions I had. 

Exams end next week with Friday being a holiday for both where both school Teachers will be marking their papers. So I have to plan some post exam activity for them then. 

2017 Week 17 Update

This week marked one year of me being unemployed! I was quite down this week without really knowing why and when I realised the date, I realised the reason for my depression! I don’t know whether to carry on with this or just give in and do something else!

Over the weekend, we went to my sister-in-law’s son’s first birthday. On the morning, I messaged her to wish the little boy and also asked if she needed any help in setting up her home and decorating. She replied she had not brought anything to decorate! So anyway, it was a good time talking to some people we don’t see often, but she had not invited many people, less than 20, including family!

I don’t want to be so negative here in this space, so unless I am gainfully employed, I have decided not to write about this anymore. My life is fairly boring, being at home and every day follows the same pattern. I can go days without even heading out of the door!

I’m going to stop this sob-fest right now. Today is the first of May, so may this month bring you happiness and joy!
