2kids @ 26

...definitely wasn't in my plan In my ideal world, where everything goes the way I want, I had plans. Many many of them..and lots of hopes and dreams it was ridiculous to keep track. One of those plans was marriage at 28 and MAYBE one kid before I turned 30. Reality, hits and I realise I had two kids before 30. hhhmmmm....something sure is messed up in the real world. So baby #2 came last week Tuesday, May 17th @ 9.56am. Everything went well. Viia le Alii. We were home the following day. He's been here for a week and 2days and I realised I'm trying to get myself used to the whole little person thing with nappy changes, no sleep and sore nipples. Oi aueee. So anyways, 2kids. eerrrr...I don't know how pple with more than 2kids do it. I'm actually asking myself " What the heck were you thinking wanting another child ?" I'm sure it gets easier with time but still, the time, effort and all the hard work that goes into raising a family is too much to...

So I made panipopos today. Finally got around to it after contemplating trying out the somewhat complicated recipe (complicated for me). I got the recipe from Ms Dubai herself, who got it off this amazing samoan woman who likes to share different recipes for the 'fia domestic goddess' woman like myself. hehe. I admit and i'm sure we all know, I SUCK at making stuff that has anything to do with dough, I mean I SUCk at cooking FULLSTOP. In case you havent noticed I'm not exactly your Martha Stewart kinda woman, BUT, today I thought, 'what the heck, just try it'. first trial was a hit The dough stuck like glue to my fingers (i hate making stuff that has anything to do with dough, because I never know weather it's good or 'fefeu'. I thought, just keep adding more flour, and whalaaaa, there was a pretty lil elastic thang on a greased pan. There was alot of waiting and anticipating but in the end, my panipopos came out ...

blahblahrings in the middle of the night

So other than waiting around to have baby#2, I've been pretty good at keeping myself occupied doing things like, being at work half an hour early and leaving work half an hour late (not intentionally), baking up a storm and doing laundry in the middle of the night, cleaning/wiping down nursery for the 10th time and washing Tai's old clothes aka handmedowns for the 100th time. Yes, I've been a busy bee. Cleaning the bathroom twice a week, folding Tai's clothes, arranging my closet (color coded ) and finding every little thing I can fix/clean around the house. The hubby of course is getting annoyed with this and actually yelled at me to blardy hell take a darn break. Ahar. For some strange reason, every time I get home from work or am OFF from work, I tend to find something to fix/clean around the house. I’m even worried about myself. I maybe going insane and I don’t know it. YET. I’ve even scheduled a cleaning company to come in next week to clean my carpet, my section...
