day 2 at work.
still a little dazed, a little unfamiliar. takes a bit in getting back to the groove! a little rusty, perhaps.
but, i can feel the waves coming towards me.
it’s a juggle, motherhood and work. last night, jerry decided to torture me by waking up a total of 3 grand times. never in the past 3 months has that happened since he had progressed to sleeping through the night after the first month. maybe once, maybe twice, but never before 3 times in a night.
maybe he is also trying to settle into a new routine. without mummy in his lives as much. without much snuggles and kisses from me. or maybe i read too much into it. he did survive 2 weeks without me while i was away, no? (i didn’t ask my mum if she had any troubles about sleep issues. must remember to ask her)
he seemed to grow a little different when i got home last night. and i SWEAR it wasn’t my imagination.
it’s lunch time. but i was hoping the clock fast forward to knock-off time so that i can be back home to rest (i need sleep) and of cos, spend a short window of time with the baby before day 3 of work beckons.
i am more tired than ever. and everyone is telling me it’s will get better. i feel, i think, i might just get more tired as the days roll into weeks, and into months.
hopefully, i am wrong.

Hi there! Thanks for popping by. I'm Cherie, a ftwm (full-time working mum) to 3 lovely kids (2 boys & a princess) and my motto in life is to BE HAPPY. Sure, life isn't all that smooth but it's the mentality that counts, no? This blog documents my life. Or rather, snippets of my life that has passed me by. I love capturing life memories in the blog and being able to read back and laugh at myself (or anyone). I love to eat (A LOT), travel and paint my own nails so the blog is mostly about that. Is that considered lifestyle? Of cos, the family is also very much an integral part of me so there would be loads of memories about the husband and my kids - Jerry (9yo), Jerome (7yo) and Leia (2.5yo) and everyone else that's close to me. I like documenting the kids' milestones, their growing up years, their achievements (and sometimes, mine), and my struggles and battles with motherhood. It sure ain't easy. I love seeking out good food and travelling, is trigger-happy, love new gadgets, love exploring new places and strives to live life to the fullest. I aspire to travel the world as much as I can, to soak in the different sights across the various continents and visit all the Disneylands in the world (almost there!). Have fun reading and do drop me a comment to say hi! Love, Cherie Lim Find me on Instagram.
