So much for my good intentions this holiday

I've had a week of by now, still about 2,5 to go.I'd told myself I'd take a day or 2 to catch up on a much needed rest and then do at least some things that I've wanted to do for a long time.

I did promise myself I would write a short piece for this blog at least 4 times a week thinking that since I don't have to go to school, I'd have plenty of time. Forget it. Every evening I'm knackered and can't muster up the energy to even boot up the computer. Eaindra is teething still and wakes me up at least anywhere between 4 -7 times a night. The one time this week she didn't do that, Xenne thought I might miss my waking hours during the night and wet his bed. By the time he was asleep aiagin, Eaindra was fully awake and it took me nearly 2 hours for her to settle down again...

Another of the things I really want to get a start on is learning Myanmar again. For me, who has always learned languages easily it is a incredible that after 6 years here I still can't make heads or tails of the language. Ok, both times I started to learn Myanmar, I was pregnant almost immediately. I don't know if that has any correlation. I also both times started with yoga. Which is another item on my list of things I want to start with (again).

Luckily I do have more time with my kids which is nice. I play the Wii with Xenne, see how Eaindra is learning to walk independently a little to fast for my liking (she can already take about 4 steps before crashing down), explain to Thandar how to go on with her Barbie-games (something she really likes playing) and more of that stuff. Unfortunately it rains still so much that a nice walk in the quarter is out of the question.

School was supposed to be far away in my mind.. And that is where I am now. Again. All foreign staff have left the country for their holidays but we need to hire another Myanmar person for our teaching staff and there are still parents and kids coming in for admission tests... I do come but I keep reminding myself to only come when absolutely necessary.
