Downed

I was so fired up last week that I want to write 3 articles. But none of them now.

Obstacles

It was the first week for my toddler daughter in the daycare. We have to leave her there every weekdays.

It was so hard for me and my wife to see her in that happy place. It felt like we abandoned her. I think all parents know how we felt.

I dropped her off at 7:15 AM and left for work. Picked her up at 5:30 PM. Almost 12 hours at daycare.

At home, my daughter insisted to play with us until 10PM. I think she knows that she and her parents still need bonding time.

This rigorously new schedule finally took a toll on all of us. My daughter has a flu, I got a bad stomach ache, and my wife just super tired.

Sick

I was forced to go to toilet once every 1 hour. That was too tiring. I can't get any sleep at all. I even woke up the Rooster to remind it to crow in the morning. It didn't like me at all.

This stomach ache forced me to stay at home for 2 days! I think I can safely said it was diarrhea. No energy even to lift up my eyes but had to force my body to go back and forth between bathroom and bedroom. ARRGGH!!

A New Hope

Today is Monday again. Still not functioning at 100% but at least I know my duty and my DREAM.

My dream is not to drop my daughter at a child care ever again.

My dream is to play with her every chance I get.

My dream is to be with my wife cuddling in front of TV because we can. Not because we are too tired and can't do anything else.

My dream is to have a quality time with my family

What is your dream?
