Back to Earth

Wow, it's been a long time since my last visit to the blogosphere! Things sure look forlorn on 2Singaporeslings as I try to milk as much as possible of my 24-hour day to juggle a pre-schooler, not-sleeping-through-the-night infant, and work among a million other little things and details in life. One thing I learned: it's not easy to have two kids! But now Madison turned 3 months and seems to only wake once for feeding at night (fingers crossed!!), we are hopefully turning the corner here. She can go 3-4 hours between each feed during the day, so I get back in touch with my human side and not so much feeling like an inanimate milk-machine. Not to mention how being able to sleep in four-hour stretches at night totally change my outlook on life (it's the first time in months that I manage to go past REM and get some real sleepin' here). Also, Luke resumed school (his school was closed for summer-end holiday for a *whole* week when I had my toughest week with Madison - teachers, where were you when I needed you?!) and started preschool 2 weeks ago, which to my relief, takes care of all five of Luke's weekday mornings.

This week we are gearing up for our move to another condominium. It is soooooooooo much closer to Luke's school that we can walk/bike there instead of having him taking the bus for 45 minutes from where we currently stay. Besides, it is much closer to town and that shaves off 30 minutes of transportation time to civilization. It seesms like we are hitting new milestones all around after a hiatus to the outerspace of isolation.
