laundry service

our troubles in paradise have been ironed out during a lengthy conversation on a rainy sunday afternoon. just like the weather, we both poured out feelings out and of course, i was bawling my eyes out. must be the damn hormones!

but its so good to have things straightened out like freshly ironed clothes. warm, toasty and crispy. hey, we even sprayed lemon-scented starch on our problems so it wouldnt crease anytime soon. hopefully our next dirty laundry day will be a looooong time to come.

its quite weird to have that talk with the husband as the both of us have not argued for the longest time ever. it was probably because both of us have gotten used to our living arrangements and we are very accomodating to each other's needs/work, etc. but with now a baby on the way, things changed and we were quite afraid. hence, the trouble in paradise. but its all good now.

making baby arrival arrangements with my mother last night. we were both considering getting a domestic helper to help look after my grandma and baby and also do some housework. but deep down, i really want to be looking after my baby and not some hired help. mother joked that if she win some lucky draw, she will sell away the prize (house/car, etc) and pay off my bond so i can realise my dream to become a fulltime mother and housewife. in KL!!! nice wishful thinking. but we both had a good laugh over it.

mother in law was in town during the weekend. spent some time with her and auntie jijah cooked her special laksa for the family. i had one HUGE plateful. umar who has also in town had 3 plates!! he has an obvious paunch now while my baby bulge is hardly showing.

its monday and next week will be a glorious long weekend. no school on mon and tues. husband might be coming down to pick me up on fri and scoot me back to kl for 5 wonderful days!

back to work. i feel quite good and happy for a monday. and planning for a short getaway is making me feel all giddy and smiley. must feel like this more often. :)
