Some days my energy levels are non existent and it takes me a long time to get going in the mornings but luckily, most days, once I am up, I am up and I go go go! I am more of a morning person usually…
Some days I make plans to go visit a friend and so next week we are off to Saitama to stay with Melanie and her family. I am sure the boys will have a fun time playing in their garden and with her daughter too of course!! Most days the idea of taking the boys anywhere far by myself is a little daunting….we will be okay though {First time to drive that far by myself though!}
Some days we go to Cost Co. Most days we don`t but now we are members we may go more often- my wallet will suffer a bit though.
Some days I am offered some work but most days I can`t take it- I seriously thought about this offer though since I have worked there before {last summer} and kids are welcome but it is just too far to take the boys all day and I couldn`t ask my in-laws to watch them every week all day as I think it would be too much for them. 4 hours a week with good pay and transport paid though…Would of been nice! Time to look for some stuff more locally I guess.
Some days I think a lot about what to do about the boys for school- local yochien {200m away}, international preschool, or relatively local montessori preschool{5-10 min drive}…..still completely undecided. Most days the thoughts do not pass my mind.
Some days I get giant packages from Australia from my mum with clothes, food, things for the boys and more- it feels like Christmas has come! Most days I get nothing in the mail but that doesn`t matter because the days I do it feels that much more special! The boys now have 75% of their winter wardrobes too!!
Some days I remember things that I should of done. Like now when I wrote the above paragraph I remembered I have two thank you cards to write {not to mum- thanked her over the phone!!} but for other things that were in the package.
Some days I get short sporadic calls from my dad- I got one last week. Most days I don`t hear from him and wonder if he is okay.
Some days I catch up with Cassie online and remember how much fun it is to chat with her. Most days I don`t get a chance- but we always pick up where we left off.
Some days my husband does the dishes before work- especially if he gets up with the boys at 6am. Most days he will still do them if I ask but other times I am left to do them…I hate doing the dishes.
Some days I look around my apartment and think- god we live in squalor. Most days though it is not too bad {and I have actually cleaned somewhat!}
Some days I think Shion is going to crawl. Most days,well so far all days, he hasn`t- he is very close though!! Seems strange because he can not sit unaided by himself yet though…{well not for more than 30-60 seconds}
Some days Noah asks to do “kuwarari” 10 times a day. Actually most days he asks. Today at the jidokan he asked the lady there to do it and I had to explain for him {he could see the crayons on the desk!} and he had fun doing it as they had very large pieces of paper.
Some days I get sucked into using pinterest and it is such a beautiful time waster. Most days I forget to check it out but when I do it is always fun.
Some days I organize a ton of activities for Noah but most days I don`t and we just play blocks, musical instruments, do colouring or play outside. I have been lazy about Tot School last week and this week but hoped to get back into it next week with a “Bird” theme. Need to get more organized.
Some days I really hate my computer. In particular how it deletes random paragraphs as I am typing. Most days actually I hate it. I really really want a new one. I want an ipad too. And so many other things. None of which are likely to happen anytime soon- if only money grew on trees.
Maybe some day it will

I hear you on the dishes. Ugh! I hate them! Pal very rearely does them adn when he does he never finishes them so I am always left with some dish washing to do! I want my dishwasher back, waaaah!
SO awesome that you get gift packs from your Mum. Every now and then my mum sends me one and you’re right, it is JUST like Christmas!
You are sounding well, Lulu, it’s so good to read!
Hate doing dishes too! My hubby will help but sometimes, it’s not cleaned properly so I have to end up doing it myself…
My present workplace has a childcare centre for children of the staff so I’m glad in a way that I don’t have to worry about that. Although, I do think about how often I should put the bub there. 2-3 times a wk? The whole week? And the duration.. half a day? Full day?? Our main reason for putting her there is so that she will be able to socialise with other kids. Woes of being an only child I guess.. gets pretty lonely at home.
oh I had doing the dishes too!! We have a rule that whoever cooks doesn’t need to do the dishes… of course it only applies when both of us are at home. So I am stuck with the dishes on Tuesday and Thursdays.
If only money did grow on trees, hey! I have so many things that I want but it’s just not possible for me to get. Although I really think you guys should splurge a little and get a new computer for yourself! Yours really sounds like it needs to be binned, lol.
When mum arrives on the 10th Leilah will have her whole winter wardrobe as well
Besides a few small things like gloves she is all set.
I’ve become a morning person too!! I think it is a natural change in the body clock when there is more than one child around and you HAVE to do things….though I can quickly see myself reverting if the last two weeks are anything to go by!!
I’d love to have your job opportunities. Absolutely none around here
what a shame you had to pass it up if they were keen for you to do it again this year then maybe they’d be keen for you to do it next year : )
I love your somedays linky! Next week I will join up for it for IBOT!
I really need to check out pinterest, but I’m scared it’s just another thing I’ll get addicted to!
Thanks for linking up!
Such a cute post! For some reason thinking about Shion making Noah pissy by eating his colouring cracks me up… it just seems like such a little brother thing to do
