trouble in yaya-land

currently, we're facing a new problem on the homefront. by the end of this month, we'll be one yaya short. kyle's yaya has decided to leave and go home to the province to "rest".

this frustrates me to no end since she knows that i'll go back to work first week of september and leaving 3 kids at home is no joke. she could have been a little considerate and told us way before i gave birth.

now we're still waiting for the new yaya to arrive and i've only got less than a week to train her on how to take care of the kids.

dear lord, i hope we get to survive this.

one step at a time to a new look for the home

been hearing my mom gripe to my dad that she wants to improve the look of the living room and i can't help but agree with her. the living room now looks too old with the sofa almost giving up on us in terms of how much we get to abuse it day in and day out. the coffee table needs a new polish. the tv needs a new home along with all the dvds we accummulated, not counting the ones the kids watch over and over.

but i suggested to mom to start with the lighting . with two lamps to light the living room, i think it's not enough, we need a better lamp something that would create mood lighting but at the same time provide enough light if one chooses to read rather than watch tv. i do hope mom would choose a nice lighting fixture that would match the look of our living room.

if not, i might ask hubby to buy a lamp for our own room instead.
