Plastic chair broke and I had a bad fall

I sat on a low quality plastic chair few night ago and the chair gave way and I fell to the floor.
It happened so fast that both my kids were staring at me in shocked. It was painful and I couldn't bring myself to climb back up at once after the fall.

Went to see the doctor next day, and thank God nothing broke or fractured, just that the pain was there and I would feel it when the position was not right, and when I bent or walked up the stairs.
Doctor gave me 2 days of MC to rest. 

What made me really touched was both my kids tried their best to take care of me at night. Evonne offered her favourite bolster to keep me company at night, and Marcus never forgot to wait for me in the study room, so that he can help me up knowing that I was hurt after the fall.

I am feeling much better now, but I just want to pen this down so that I can remember the little wonderful things that my kids did for me, I just feel the warmth everytime they did those things for me.

Feeling much loved.

Positivity positivity...

Can we have more positivity and less negative comments? Everything results in negative comments. So difficult to stay positive in such an environment.

Good day

Praise the Lord! Received the best news today.
Doctor from Life Care Diagnostic center called me, I've been given a clean bill of health. EBV Quantitative test result came back negative.
Means I'm ok. Just need to work on my cholesterol and BMI only.
Amen.

A Prayer For A New Job

Need some solace and prayer to calm my anxiety down...

A Prayer For A New Job

(a prayer asking for God's help when searching for new employment)

Lord, 

Thank you that you have good things in store for those who love you, for those who have been called according to your purpose.
Thank you for the gifts and talents that you have given me.
Even before I was born your hand was at work in the very fabric of my being and through my adult years you have stood by me and provided for me in good times and in times of need and crisis.

I reach out you now O God and ask that you would lead me to the right job.
Open my heart as I search for the right kind of work.
Protect my mind, cover my thinking,
That my mind might be alert to your leading and my spirit sensitive to your promptings.
I pray that you would open a door to a job which brings fulfillment and happiness.
A job which not only provides for my needs but enables me to give freely to the needs of others.
A job which extends the reach of your work, your kingdom and your will on this earth today.

I ask all this in the powerful name of Jesus,
My loving Saviour and Friend,

Amen.

Start Each Day with a Grateful Heart

Ok, time to stop all the whining and what ifs and to change mindset and be grateful...

Start Each Day with a Grateful Heart! Well said...

http://pin.it/ejVYYtL

Lord I am thankful that I am alive and still able to wake up to see my beautiful children each day, kiss hubby good morning before coming to work, and still have a job to come back to after maternity. I pray for wisdom and strength to carry me through all the challenging times, and knowing that miracles will happen when You are with me. This is yet another learning path that you have put in my way so that I can grow and learn further. I will strive on.

Amen.

No yelling here

This article is sooo good! Yelling does not help at all!

Exracts from the article:

"Yelling and anger leave us feeling lousy, our children feeling worthless and our relationships damaged.

Our children don’t learn anything we want them to when we yell. What they learn, instead, is that yelling and puffer-fish impersonations are a sure-fire way of getting what we want in life and upsetting everyone at the same time.

There are many other ways we can provide effective discipline to our children — with the volume kept down — that we will feel good about and that work."

Must remind remind and remind oneself and others.

This Pregnancy

This pregnancy....

Symptoms:

Morning sickness for 8 weeks
Stabbing pain at groin area since 2nd trimester
Stabbing pain when I toss and turn in bed
Suffocation and cannot breathe when I lie down on my back
Backache that gets worse as pregnancy progresses
Painful when walking with every step
Now in my 3rd trimester, I cannot even walk a long time, a short walk to the supermarket during lunch already I can feel my back strain, and my walk back to office has to be very slow cos it's painful to work.
Cannot eat alot, gets full very fast, feels like I have indisgestion
Baby actively moving and kicking in tummy (which is not a bad thing, glad that he's active and kicking)

Who knows the pain that a pregnant woman has to go through to deliver the baby for 40 weeks? Some husband can be so inconsiderate and just ask their wives to take it in stride and conveniently forget that it is very painful and inconvenient (not to mention dangerous) for pregnant woman to do things/ house chores.

No.More.
Never.Again.
Enough is Enough.

Especially when you do not get the kind of empathy, sympathy and tender loving care that a preggie needs.

p/s: learnt something new during this pregnancy too - round ligament pain
