So, I've been in KL for an entire week this week since The One had his travel commitments. He's sacrificed a lot since having to take care of the children and one fine day when this conversation came up, I told him that he shouldn't neglect his opportunity to grow just so I can grow.
And with that, he told me the dates he would like to travel and thank God for the most wonderful boss anyone could have, he agreed to let me work from home.
The thing that I noticed in this busy hectic schedule of the children and mine, it's so easy to just let time roll and then repeat the vicious cycle day in day out - we'd wake up real early, get ready go to school, then me working hard, pick them up late afternoon, then preparing their dinner while I continue work, making sure they do their homework, then story time and ready for bed while I catch up on my reading. Whew... It feels so hectic and it's so easy not to have any conversation as we're all tired and distracted but I love it when they start sharing bits and pieces of their day and their observations. But it's short.
Now that it's Friday and I'm thinking that my time is almost over this week and the same theme of my posts - that I'll be heading back up north this Sunday, this deep sense of emotions come flooding back. That even 1 week feels too short for me. I need more time here in the comfort of these people that I love so much. It almost feels sad that I had to leave when the decision to do this was simply for a better life for all of us, basically. Not that we don't already have enough, right? But human nature I guess, to always yearn for more, if we can.
Yeah, so that's it.
