We are discussing our first family holiday. I am desperate to go on an overseas holiday but seeing as my passport has expired, I still need to get our marriage certificate so I can officially change my name and get a new passport and only a few more days of holiday left in which I have more work to do (it's turned out to be a work from home holiday), I doubt I'll get myself organised in time. Taking two very energetic toddlers on a long flight seems so daunting and we're not really interested in the resort type destinations that are relatively close. A road trip is looking like a happy solution. We shall see.</div>

I always intend to post something totally mundane as I always do but somehow I can never find the time to break free of the mundane things that I do so I can sit and write. I have been back to work full time since July and there's just not enough hours in the day for everything. It's a 4 am wake-up so I can do 2 hours of work in peace and quiet then from 6 AM it's a rush to get ready, pack lunch, get everyone fed and dressed, daycare drop off, fight the traffic, spend the day at work, fight the traffic to pre-school to pick up son #1 then fight the traffic to daycare to pick up son #2, cook dinner, feed the little people, bathe them, put them to bed, get dinner ready, eat, clean, try to do a little bit more work and before you know it it's 11 PM sometimes later before I go to sleep. And then it starts again. I am the sort of person who doesn't function well under 10 hours of sleep.<br />

Despite all of the above, I thrive being at work.</div>

My last post was about our Anniversary date. Dates are so rare nowadays that I never thought I'd have back to back posts about dates. I don't even remember the last time we had a date other than for our anniversary. It was definitely the time before Children. Last Saturday we went to Momofuku at the Star. I don't know about you but I find casinos very tacky. Momofuku however, did not disappoint. For the $$$$$ that you pay, you expect it not to.<br />

Beef tongue and snail. The tongue was so tasty and tender. I never thought I'd ever eat tongue let alone like it.</div>
</div>

We had the non-alcoholic pairing. I really wanted the wine pairing but I knew I'd be totally sloshed after just two glasses and if I'm going to pay that much for food and drinks I'd like to enjoy and remember enjoying it. I tend to not have much recollection of things after only a few glasses. Plus I was wearing 4 inch stilettos.<br />
<br />
It was really interesting being seated at the bar surrounding the open kitchen. I was expecting MasterChef style chaos but there was no shouting, nothing went wrong, there was no rushing around, no clanging of pots and pans, nobody was having a meltdown, no mess, no drama. It was very calm, serene even. The chefs barely talked but that's not to say they didn't communicate. Each chef had a station but they all came together to plate up like it was a well-timed choreography and everyone danced their part seamlessly. The only thing that resembled MasterChef was the occasional quietly spoken "Yes, chef." It was quite fascinating to watch. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Afterwards we walked past Adriano Zumbo's patisserie but didn't buy anything. Then we went up to the casino to have a look. I have never walked into a more depressing looking place. As the escalator was going up I noticed money in the fountain. Sure people throw money into fountains all the time, I have done so myself at the Trevi Fountain (shameless name dropping) but we're not talking 20c coins here. There are notes in the water. You can really sense that this is a place where people come to throw away money. On the main floor people are just glued to the machines like zombies looking absolutely miserable. There were rows upon rows of electronic roulette where everyone bereft of soul just stares blankly at the screen showing the virtual roulette. It wasn't at all like the Las Vegas casinos depicted in movies, nobody was celebrating and there were no heists. Oceans Eleven is very misleading. <br />
<br />
I spoke a little earlier of choreography and dancing. Well, On Sunday I was rummaging through my parents' garage in search of a pair of platform shoes (more on that on a later post which will hopefully be sooner than 5 months) when I found a box of my pointe shoes. Naturally, I put them on straight away to inflict pain on my toes.</div>

Or heels. I think I'm cursed as these are the 4th pair of shoes that broke while I was wearing them. Nevertheless, it was so nice to walk around in heels.

I love my dress even if the original dressmaker didn't do the best job. I nearly bought another dress 2 weeks before the wedding but my usual seamstress who does all my usual alterations worked her magic. She added lace and beading (which I didn't want) and tulle under the train and made me a veil all in exchange for an air conditioner (ha!). At that point I didn't care anymore and I just wanted not to expose too much of my non-existent cleavage. I am so glad I let her have a play with it. The lace and the beading turned out to be my favourite part of the dress.</div>

In other happenings, most of my time is spent preparing food, feeding, ferrying to and from daycare, in between I try to do housekeeping but you'll never guess it.</div>

Who wins what is interesting and all but who wears what is what we really want to watch. Here are my favourites:<br />

It's the perfect sort of day for going to the beach, if you are a beach-going sort of person. We aren't but we went to Bondi beach for a birthday party for one of Bubby's playmates from daycare. I forgot to bring sunscreen and hats and I also forgot to bring a muslin sheet to put over the pram and it was a long walk back to where we parked the car so all of us got sunburnt.<br />

Would you believe that it is Bubby's first time at the beach? It's the first time he's encountered sand that's not in a sand pit. It's so easy to spot Bubby and hubby, they are the only ones who are fully clothed.</div>

The Best Husband. Recent Purchases.2013 has been a good year. Crazy, stressful, maddening but also fun, memorable and full of love. Ah, so cheesy. And so 2013 has come to an end and so has the holidays. Hubby goes back to work on Monday and my bubble is about to burst. The last couple of weeks of having him home has been so good. Maybe I'll buy a winning lottery ticket after all so we can continue to live in this happy bubble.<br />
<br />
We, or rather I, spent New Year's Eve shopping at the insistence of my husband. He literally forced me to shop. Who am I to say no? I actually did try to say no but deep down my heart didn't mean it. Ha!<br />

We went to DFO (because I almost never buy anything that's not on sale). I can't believe how many high end outlets are there now. There are also Armani and Zegna. Still not as good a bargain as overseas outlets but I guess plane tickets aren't cheap. Had Ferragamo been open already I don't think I would have been as restrained. And I'm excited about Brooks Brothers.</div>

This is the first moment I had in a long time and that's only because I chose to ignore the folding, the mess and the toddler so I can write an entry.<br />
<br />
A couple of days ago I had to see a solicitor so hubby came home in the middle of the day to watch the kids and I got to go out on my own. It was a boring meeting but it was adult time for me and the conversation was not about garbage trucks.<br />

I was so excited to have a to wear heels! It must have been over a year since I wore high heels, thanks to being pregnant and running around after a toddler and now carrying around a chubby baby while running after a toddler.</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<strike>The rest </strike> all of my time is spent feeding the baby, keeping Bubby out of trouble, cooking, cleaning although you would never really guess it and getting ready for Christmas. I still really struggle mentally with not having quality time to myself. I love my kids but spending day in and out with them is pretty mind numbing.</div>

I put the Christmas tree up last Friday. Here is Bubby attempting to put the star on top of the tree, unsuccessfully. I really didn't realise how tall the tree was when I bought it. I got it from a Christmas warehouse place and it wasn't the biggest tree there so it looked 'small' in comparison. We still haven't finished decorating it but it's only November. I want to take Bubby shopping so he can choose some Christmas tree decorations.</div>

Yes there's a bit of cheese and full fat yoghurt (but goodness it tasted so good) but I hope this is what people call 'in moderation'. After all, I could be having a cookies n cream ice cream.</div>

I can see why it pissed off a lot of people, the slogan is just a bit inflammatory. But I don't think she could have put anything down that would not be taken negatively. She has some pretty good advice on her blog <a href="http://www.mariakang.com/2013/07/11/whats-your-excuse/" target="_blank">here</a>. Good for her, I say. As Britney Spears says, if you want a hot body and look good in a bikini, you better work b**ch.<br />

We really only got to see Snailovasion (giants snails) and Field (field of mirrors). There's so much more to see but it's hard with an infant who feeds every 2 hours.<br />

<br />Bubby's Mummyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/05094113247592057697noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4472445943309233479.post-79436907267356672822013-09-24T15:00:00.003+10:002013-09-24T15:00:37.642+10:00I'm a Mother not a Martyr.I went to visit my work last week for a catchup and to touch base. While I was talking to a group of colleagues the question of when I was going back to work and if I was coming back full time came up. I said I was coming back in June and definitely full time as I'm not cut out to be a stay-at-home-mum, I need to work to save my sanity, or something along those lines. One of them a part-timer mother of two said jokingly, "Oh so you're thinking of yourself first." "Well, yes, someone has to" was my reply. She then said "that's okay, you're just being honest."<br />
<br />
Being a stay-at-home-mum is not going to make me a better mother or a better person. Kudos to SAHMs, it's freaking hard work. That aside, I love working and I love my job. It enriches my life and I get joy and satisfaction out of it. To deny myself that will make be bitter and resentful, not the sort of mother that anyone would want. It doesn't mean I love my children any less than the next mother. As for going back to full time work as opposed to part-time, well I don't like job sharing and I know I'll end up doing work on my days off anyway, so I might as well get paid for it. I will give up every organ I have for my children but naturally I won't if I don't have to as I need them to live fully. Same with work.<br />
<br />
Did I say any of that? No. Did I feel the need to justify myself? Definitely not. There are very few people whose personal opinion of me matters. My husband and children and maybe my parents and brothers but they love me no matter what anyway.<br />
<br />
My colleague's comment about thinking of myself first really just got me thinking but what really annoyed me was when she said that's okay I'm just being honest. I found that incredibly patronising. Anyway, I let it all go. I might need her for something when I go back to work and it's easier to get people to do what you want when you haven't pissed them off.<br />
<br />

My. Goodness. What a week I had last week. Bubby was sick so he was at home for the whole week. He is a good kid but 24 hours <strike>seven</strike> eight days straight, and one of those days was literally 21 hours because his cough was so bad he didn't sleep until 3 am, was quite a challenge to my sanity. Juggling two kids is a skill that I do not possess. Don't get me wrong, being a mother of two is nice but it would be so much easier if I were a mother of one a time.<br />

Bubby's first day back at daycare and I treated myself to breakfast. Well, it's more like I didn't realise that I haven't had breakfast until after I've dropped him off and I was positively ravenous. Nice view of the water pity about the crappy weather.</div>

It's about what upper middle class New Yorkers do to get their kids into preschool. It's unbelievable. And I thought places for preschool are competitive here in Sydney. Nevertheless, it prompted me to get on with the pile of application forms for schools for Chububby. Fun.</div>

<br />
Yesterday, I was stuck in traffic because the news on the radio said that the Harbour Tunnel was closed so I was forced to take the Bridge. I and everyone else coming from the North Shore apparently also listened to the radio because the traffic was backed up all the way to the Warringah Freeway. And you know, what the Tunnel wasn't even closed. I watched helplessly from my lane as the traffic to the tunnel just zoomed by. I should have just listened to the nursery rhymes CD instead of Kyle and Jackie O.<br />
<br />
Anyway, the traffic made it too late for me to go for my walk so I just looked for exercise videos online. I first tried belly dancing but I just felt so silly and uncoordinated, sensual, it did not make me. Then I found this Bollywood Burn video.<br />
<br />

The moves were quite fun so I dancercised my way to hopefully at least 1 cm off my waistline. </div>

I'm not a fan of exercising so I usually reward myself for having achieved it so this was my reward.</div>

It's supposed to be low calories so I hope the dancing and dessert don't cancel each other out.</div>

A Mr. Darcy Moment.I've been going for a walk around Centennial Park once a week for four weeks now in the hope of melting away the last stubborn 5 kilos. I guess it's not really fair to say that they're stubborn as I haven't really done much physically in order to lose them. My walking buddy is 40+ weeks pregnant so we're not exactly setting a fat burning pace. Seeing as her baby is still slow cooking we're not setting a labour inducing pace either much to my friend's dismay. Today, I walked solo (no, my friend hasn't popped but she went to yoga instead) and did the 3.6 km circuit in 40 minutes. I like to think of it as setting a realistic bar to beat for next time but really I'm just unfit. I couldn't even keep up with an old guy walking his dog. Well, he's not pushing a pram is he? Never mind that it's the lightest pram you can buy.<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Anyway, I thought I'd walk like I mean it and look like I mean it as well.</div>
<br />

The offending mid-<strike>fat </strike>pouch/ baby cushion. I get that the baby needs cushioning around the belly but seriously, do the hips and thighs need cushioning too? The arms and face are a little bit padded as well. I felt like Humpty Dumpty when I was pregnant. I'd love to rollerblade but I don't know how safe it is while pushing a pram. I don't want a runaway pram in case I fall.</div>

So, while I was walking on my own I got the chance to absorb my surroundings and Centennial Park really is such an idyllic place. I've only walked the perimeter of the park and there's so much more in it. I'd love to do the self-guided walks one day. I passed by this lake which is one of many.</div>

Suddenly, I had a Mr Darcy moment (you know the one, when he jumps into the lake at Pemberly, of course you know what I'm talking about). No, I didn't jump in the lake in my breeches but it made me want to watch P & P again. Bubby is at daycare and Chububby is asleep, I guess now is my chance. While I fold a mountain of clothes and iron some. My days of watching TV with my feet up are well and truly over.</div>

It's a beautiful day in Sydney. I wonder how many people are spending the day doing laundry like me.</div>

Yes, father's day is just around the corner and so is my brother's birthday and my soon to be niece's birthday (excitement!!!) but let's focus on the more important issue of MY birthday. Every year there is a theme, last year was <a href="http://the3amfeed.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/planning-pool-party-gingham-style.html" target="_blank">Gingham Style</a>, the year before was Nautical that was before I started blogging but you can read about<a href="http://the3amfeed.blogspot.com.au/2012/10/26th-of-october.html" target="_blank"> my past birthday parties</a>. This year's theme is (drumroll please.... ok seriously, there's no need for drumroll seeing as you've probably read the title to this post)<br />

I have, for so long, wanted to go to a sing-along screening but for some reason I have never been to one. So I'm bringing it to my house, I will put it on the the massive TV and whether my family want to or not they are singing AND dancing along. I remember forcing my favourite little girl, my step-niece, to do the So Long Farewell, Auf Weidersein, Goodbye song and dance with me, she was seven at the time, she's 13 now. </div>

I can't wait! I still don't know how I will dress up. I wish I knew how to sew so I can dress up in Liesl's purple dress. My brother is already thinking outside the box and said that he'll come as a brown paper package tied up with string. LOL. So long as nobody dresses up as a Nazi, it's cool.</div>

I don't even know what food to serve either but there will be crisp apple strudels and schnitzel with noodles.</div>
