monday.

happy monday!

it's gonna be a busy week ahead at work.

the past weekend was tiring but well-spent Alhamdulillah. R went out of town for a wedding with his friends on saturday so i brought out jigglyboo with my sisters to breakfast then a quick trip to a local chairty shop by Islamic Relief Malaysia. one of my sister volunteers there so we've bought donated some stuff and also bought stuff (our second stroller that we need for park trips) from there. this time, my sister found a few books and a cute little romper for jigglyboo. i was thinking that i was going to keep jigglyboo's clothes that she's outgrown for future use (who knows, right? haha). but then i gave it some more thought, and i think i should just donate them. i mean, i won't need to use them for at least another couple of years - and they didn't cost that much to begin with - so might as well give them to people who really need them at a cheaper price. those little clothes have brought us so much happiness, insha Allah it can bring someone else the same.

sunday was spent doing a little shopping for myself and jigglyboo (mostly hers; she's a lucky girl haha). we spent the whole weekend at my mom's place; we were just too lazy to go back to our own.

which reminds me; tonight i really need to get a headstart on another round of spring cleaning at our place. need to separate out the clothes that i wanna send off for donation and the ones that i actually wear...and find my workout clothes. cos i also gotta try find my yoga mat that's buried somewhere underneath all the junk. my lunchtime weekly yoga class starts tomorrow, wish me luck!

btw, tomorrow is already gonna be the first day of april. can't believe a whole quarter of the year has passed by - and that jigglyboo is three and a half months already. time flies by so fast! just another month to go, and we'll be sending her off to her daycare during office hours instead of leaving her with my mom. it'll be sad and i'll probably worry a lot sending her to strangers, but i take some peace of mind knowing that i'm sending her to a good daycare (my siblings and i were brought up in a good one as well). and hopefully there'll be an opening at the creche downstairs at my office soon so we can transfer her there.

besides, we really need to give my mom a break. she's been looking after jigglyboo for a month and a half now, and although she never complains, i feel bad taking away so much of her time. she's always so busy doing her own stuff and now she's kind of stuck at home most of the time, then she spends so much time traveling back and forth from kuantan-kl on the weekends that it worries me. at her age, she should be just relaxing and spending her time doing her morning walks and whatever else that she normally does on her weekdays. so that has actually been one of my biggest motivations in sending jigglyboo to daycare -eventhough it's quite a chunk of our monthly income but knowing that she'll be in good, trained hands - but we'll settle into a routine and we've worked out our financials. it's not gonna be easy, but we have so much support and love in my life, i'm sure we'll be okay.
