Waiting. Waiting. And more Waiting.

After Chinese New Year, I have been taking over the wheels, sending and picking children and husband. One of the most frustrating issues is to wait and wait and wait at Daddy's school. Prior to Gervin's birth, I had been taking taxi home with the 2 older Gers. Timing is very regular. Always reached home around 6. With Daddy's in the picture. Home seems a long way back. Sometimes we can reach home as late as 7.30pm - more than 12 hours out of the house! For this, I reminded my dear husband time and time again that not only he needs to go home, so do the children and the auntie in school. Being in the same profession, I understand his passion, but spending 12 hours or more outside the home is absurd. 6.30pm is the max. And not everyday. When it did not seem to work, I started bringing the children to my parents' place as our pitstop. My parents were delighted, as they are having the 'empty nest syndrome'. The children spent time watching TV, eating their snacks and spending time with their grandparents. I think these will form part of their fond childhood memories as they grow.

Gerlyn and Gerrard enjoys the experienceof buying drinks from the vending machine in the background.

If Gerrard becomes a minister one day, he will be one who looks after the citizens well. Even for buying drinks, he had the maid in mind. :) Having a 'picnic' while waiting for daddy. Look at the cookies, raisins and drinks.
