Clearing out cobwebs

 Bonjour!


Dangggggg. It has been a VERY long time since I last posted anything here. Life has been hectic and truth be told, I kinda forgot about this blog. But I gotta admit, I do miss writing. So it is 15 minutes past midnight and this is possibly the only time that I have to myself- assuming (read as : hoping) the boys stay asleep for at least another 15minutes before realizing mommy is not in bed. 

So the last time I wrote in here was when I got called to the bar, eyh? Give and take a year plus. well here are the updates of my life.....

I am now a mother of two...... boys. I had my second child, Aydrean back in January. Now let me tell you this.... That boy is really something. But I'll save the story of my pregnancy journey and how his delivery went down for another post (assuming I wont forget and abandon this blog AGAIN). Let's focus on the now. Being a fulltime housewife and a mother of TWO boys is havoc. Life has never been the same. I started drinking coffee again just to make sure I can keep up with them. Don't get me wrong, I love my boys to bits. It's just that some days it gets overwhelming. One sleeps and the other wakes up, one is screaming bloody murder while the other is crying to be fed. Total chaos most days. But still, I treasure and cherish those moments when they aren't trying to annoy each other. Aydrean is only 10 months now yet it would seem like he has managed to grasp the concept of jealousy and attention hogging. Ayden is a wonderful big brother and he loves his little baby brother to bits but some days he just wants mommy all to himself and things can turn sour very quickly. 

I am.... still unemployed. For now. The new year is coming and I am in the process of establishing my own business. I dont wanna jinx it actually but in all seriousness, who even reads blogs anymore? Lol. I highly doubt anyone would come along stumbling across my blog these days with everyone being too engrossed with tik tok and facebook. So here it goes. I am opening a pet shop. We just secured the shop about a week ago and yesterday we managed to apply for our trading license and applied for the electricity for the shop. When I say we, I am referring to me and the significant other. Mom has a share in it too, but she has decided to be a silent partner and reap the profits at the end of every financial year. This is something I am very much looking forward to. Being my own boss and diving into new waters that is somewhat foreign to me. I mean of course I've done plenty of businesses before but nothing tops this. This is the real deal. This is legit. And I hope all goes well. Amin. May Allah ease this venture of mine. 

This year we also managed to purchase our first house. And it's close by to Ayden's future preschool and Aydrean's future playschool, as well as the shop. Of course credit should be given where it is due, so all the credit goes to my amazing husband who works so hard just to make sure that he can give us the best convenience that life can offer. So my daily life won't be one which will include annoying traffic jams because all I have to worry about is navigating my way around a less than 5KM route. Of course as of now we are still waiting for the house to come thru. There are still some procedures and legal stuff that needs to be settled, but its okay. Good things come to those who wait. 

Oh my. Kids are awake. Will continue soon. Hopefully. X's and O's
