At least the worst is over

It's hard enough to keep house and home together

when you're feeling at the top of your game, but when one comes down with a racking cough and raging cold, it gets a little bit harder. I can only hope that with all that coughing and sneezing into the crooks of my arms, and washing my hands as well as using the hand sanitizer religiously, that I don't have to end up taking care of a sick husband and child as well!

And guess what I found while I was looking cruising the net... a super mom action figure. About time.

Finally!

We went to the post office today

to pick up my Malaysian passport. It took about 2 months to get it renewed, which was way less than the estimated 3 - 6 months, due to having to be sent off to Malaysia, and being a "biometric passport".

We immediately went over to the Social Security Office to apply for a social security number/card. If all goes well, we'll be getting that in the mail in a couple of weeks. Phew. I know it's been a long time coming, but we had problems with the green card etc etc. Praise the Lord, everything's falling into place now. Yay!!!!!!

Christmas Card Photo Op

We had "Breakfast with Santa"

at church last Saturday, and brought Jaxon for his first "encounter" with Santa. Everyone had a grand time.. until it was time to take pictures with Santa.

Poor Jaxon looked like he went into major panic attack mode. Right now he's in pretty heavy duty separation anxiety mode, as well as some stranger anxiety. Put both of those together, and you have quite a classic distressed-baby-on-santa's-lap situation....Mama Clause tried to help, but Jaxon was determined NOT to be appeased.

We tried to take some family photos for our Christmas card this year. THIS one did NOT make the cut.

Our poor exhausted baby after the whole traumatic experience. Heheh..

Bible Class Brunch

We had our Bible Class Christmas Party

last Friday, and everyone brought lotsa yummy food. My contribution? I made the coffee. Mwahahahaha.

Doctors, Ducks and Darlings

Thursdays are always a little busier

just because I have to start cooking much earlier in the day ( while tending to everything else ) to make the 5.15pm dinner time over at my FIL's for Letti Thursday. Yesterday I had to start cooking way earlier so that I could finish by 1pm. Jaxon had an appointment at the pediatrician's for his second H1N1 shot and we had some stale duck bread that was just calling out to be fed to the ducks. I forgot to take some pics of the food, but here's the rest of the day.

Nestled in mummy's jacket, waiting for daddy




Waiting for the nurse to come give him his shot ( eekus ) He cried for only a couple of seconds, but was a little bit cranky the rest of the afternoon. Thank God by night time, he was back to his normal self
