I miss her

U know how it's like - when u have something and it's noisy, u wish it will just go away and give u some peace. Then when it's finally gone, u suddenly find it's too quiet and lonely. Well that's the case with my daughter. When she's around, she's non-stop talking or crying or screaming or fussing - sometimes to the point of giving me a bad migraine. But now that she has gone off to live with my parents in law, the house has gotten too quiet. Initially I enjoyed the peacefulness, but now that 3 weeks has passed, I'm kinda wishing she'll come back soon. I miss hugging her to sleep and the cute little songs she sings to me. I miss her sweaty little hands clasping onto mine and most of all I miss hearing her sweet little 'I love u mummy'.

It's bad enough missing my little baby, I also have to miss my own mummy. No more mummy to accompany me to the market for my weekly food supplies:( But i hope my mum is having lots of fun - she's holidaying in UK right now. Think she really deserves it coz she's been getting migraine from both Zaydeen and the maid :-p

Though I miss them dearly, but I guess it's not too bad an experience.

Firstly I get back some ME time to do the things I want to do.

Secondly I learn to be more appreciative of my love ones.

Thirdly I'm also more appreciate of my maid - despite how lazy she is at times, I learnt that it is really tiring taking care of the house and keeping it sparkling clean.

Fourthly my in laws now know their grand-daughter is like an energizer battery and is not that easy to handle.

And lastly, it's good to have some time alone with my husband - to finally be able to go on dates without the little one in between and to have conversations with him without Zaydeen butting her face in the middle of us.

And I think the dogs love it too coz I get to give them more attention and they don't have a little kid running after them and trying to wrestle them :-p

So my recommendation - YES this should be an annual affair but maybe a shorter time frame - 2 weeks maybe? :D
