A Homemaker’s Diary

As per above picture, I have here 2 pairs of Women’s Levi’s 545 & 515 Boot Cut Jeans for sale. These two pairs of jeans have never been worn at all. All the tags are still intact.

Reason being I can’t fit into it. Hubby bought them in the US last year and I being the kampung-type who seldom wear authentic jeans gave him wrong size. He bought both in 8 Medium Misses size..huhu! (which translates to jeans with Waistband 34″(86.5 cm), Inseam 32″(81.5 cm), If the Jeans lay down flat: Waist 16.5″(41.5 cm))

I thought being pregnant would enable me to wear the jeans, but my pregnant waist never go past 28″ in size…

So for those with a 34″ waist size, please buy my jeans so that I could buy one locally in my size. I’m selling one pair for RM150, and if you are taking both pairs for RM250. Please leave your details in the comment if you are really interested to buy.

People say take one step at a time, but in my case being a SAHM, I feel that I’m taking one day at a time..huhu! Why would I say that? Because I feel that for me time crawls rather than flies..I’m not sure when I really fall asleep, when the day starts, and when does it end..and the cycle continues..

I feel bad to confess that I have this ugly thought in my head, but me being a mere human, I just can’t help it. Sometimes it makes me cry, most of the time I feel like running away and leave this life behind. It doesn’t make me love my son any less, but at times, honestly I feel suffocated simply being “a mom”.

Now I know why some women can’t stand being at home, not working and solely taking care of their children. This is why some women rather brave the wee hours of going to work regardless how small their pay is, rather than being stuck at home with their kids, unpaid! Or why some women choose to hire maid, send their children to nursery or send the kids to grandparents and go back to see the children on weekly or monthly basis.

The toll of being a mom is too much, this is not a job just anyone can do. I finished reading the Baby Whisperer book and I really like this part:

” A lot of mums go into denial, particularly those who leave thriving, high prestige careers in favor of motherhood, or those who are superorganized. Their lives are thrown out of sync when the baby arrives. They want to believe that life will be exactly the way it always has been. And rather than feel the emotions that come with early motherhood or own up to their fears, they minimize the experience.

In fact, prospective power mums often ask, “How hard could it be to have a baby?” or “How hard could it be to breastfeed?” When they get home, they find out that although they can run multimillion-dollar companies or shepherd complex programs through committees, motherhood poses challenges they never dreamed of.

Thus, part of their denial manifests itself in an urgency to embrace something they already know how to do and are good at. Business or lunch with their cronies is a no-brainer compared to all they have to do and learn when they first come home with a new baby.”

I hope I will be strong enough to journey through all these baby years..and may things will be easier, Amin!

Well, the weekend started early for us since these days, Hubby’s Boss in US allows him to go back on Friday at 4pm..keh keh! So off we went to Ikano to take my Gucci “spek cikgu bedah”..well, it’s my turn this year to enjoy the optical RM1k benefit since last year we used the allocation for maternity and Hubby’s specs.

And guess what, KL Bird Park comes to Ikano to promote discounted tickets during these school holiday. I think you can save RM5 per person if you buy the ticket there. There are also birds in the concourse area and we took a family picture with those 3 very tame birds..(of course Hubby has to hold all 3 birds – I think 2 are bald eagles, and one cheerful red kenari(?)..eeiii I was so scared of all the birds..kalau dia patuk, or somehow tiba2 terbang mengamuk towards me..naya je!)

So if you could see the polaroid picture you will see how terrified, and buat2 muka tak takut face I had while holding our son. And the son was not even terrified of the birds..bagus la, if later ada burung sesat terbang masuk dalam rumah, at least I have a rescuer..heh!

On Saturday, we went to the old house to clear up one last time. Actually the plan was for me and the son to stay at home while Hubby went there alone to clean up, but since the tailor SMSed telling my baju for dinner dah siap, apa lagi kan..has to use the reason to clean the house sebab nak collect the baju kurung..heh!

Sunday, we went to hand over the rented house keys. The landlady was very nice, even her mom (or MIL) was very friendly telling Hubby that for Chinese they considered the rented house very “ong’ because the tenant live there for a long time (5 years!!) and lead a happy, healthy life to the extent of having child and manage to buy own house.

After settled everything (and got back some portion of our utility deposit..hehe!), we went to Low Yat because Hubby wanted to buy something but he said I shouldn’t tell what it is..(curious tak?…heh!) It was the first IT trip for the son..but unluckily we couldn’t find the gadget. So considered the mission was not completed…aarghh tension!

We are still looking around for the gadget. Hopefully Hubby will manage to get it soon so that the son and I will be able to enjoy some great entertainment in the master bedroom with the air cond on..heh! (seriously panas la sekarang even with full blast of ceiling fan downstairs).

Oh, in the meantime, I’m trying to curi masa to sew the beads on the new baju kurung for me to wear to Hubby’s company annual dinner..heh! The theme is occupation so here I come as a teacher..ceh! I was hoping to get something like Bob The Builder costume for our son, tapi macam tak de je..huhu! Hubby is still not sure what he wants to be to the dinner..

This Fisher-Price Rainforest Jumperoo has been a Godsent gift for me these days…especially when I need ample time to grab some instant lunch (I was on Sri Kulai microwave-able 4-minutes meals most of the time).

At least with the son put in the Jumperoo, I don’t have to be worried of him being tergolek, tertiarap on the floor. He can roll over to the left or to the right, but still is unable to turn back to the normal position, thus the cry for help..huhu!

I hope he can sit unsupported soon so that he won’t be so bored lying down or being on his tummy most of the time. Of course the best remedy for him to stop crying will be a hug from Mama, berdukung all the time walking around the house.

With an almost 7 kg weight, lugging him around a few hours a day, I don’t need to lift dumb bell anymore..huhu!

I bought this before I delivered my son many months ago. The intention was to use it while breastfeeding him. But since he nursed almost all day and night long, I resorted to breastfeed him while lying down.

So since I hardly even use this pillow for nursing (and have no intention to keep it for the next baby), I am letting it go for RM100. I bought this from ebay and with the international postage I think it costs me even more than RM100, but I couldn’t find the transaction receipt.

Last week I checked at Metrojaya, they are selling the non-travel type for RM188.

Please check out the details in myBrestfriend official website – Travel Pillow.

This is how it will look like once you inflate the travel pillow and put on its cover. The design of the cover is sunburst (in soft green).

For those who are new to all these breastfeeding “gadget” you can check out the features that most moms will find useful.

For anyone interested to buy, kindly leave comment with your valid email address, and I will get back to you soon.
