Today I woke up feeling quite ok. Yesterday woke up and yet felt quite "sian". Had my breakfast and before long children are up. they always seem to have bouts of energy and I just can;t keep up. Did some house keeping chores and before long, the whole house in a big mess. Rather frustrating to be the maid in this case. I told kids I need to take a half and hour to an hour nap and wanted them to just watch TV for awhile but they were noisy. Before long, I smelt something burning and had to run out. My Darling Charles had burnt a seafood stick in the microwave oven. Asked him questions and he simply kept quiet. I gotten so mad I smacked him with the hand mittens. He jsut ran off and be naughty after that. Somehow, they simply can't have the safety concerns in mind. On the road, they can push one another and ended up being scolded. These boys have no sense of being helpful and differentiating good from bad. They always engaged in trouble and then regret later. Joe and I will be semding all to the local school when we come back in March. Even Channery is picking up the boys' bad manners and habits.

Joe met us at he Campsie Centre as we need to buy groceries. We bought doughnut maker yesterday so we need to get the ingredients to make the mini doughnuts. Everyday we have to think of fun things to do or else the children are bored. Yesterday I allowed them to play in backyard garden for an hour and they at least well occupied for a while. They were so excited when someone delivered the worm farm. We are going to do our own garden soil using worms. Very exciting as the children can see how the worms transformed waste like potatoes peelings, paper into soil.

We had pizza, garlic bread and spagetti for dinner. Easy to prepare as all ready made. I just have to cook them in the oven. Sometimes children prefer to eat these unks rather than the healthier choices. Will keep a food diary so that we know what We are feeding them. Not too much of a kind of food. Charles was brought up with lots of fish and his behaviour is a bit wierd. Maybe too much mercury in his diet. Need to observe if a change of diet has a change in his behaviour. The Scientific findings here said that having too much fish can be harmful to kids.

Well! Today is another day and we shall see what the children's have in store for me. Praying to God today they are good and well occupied.
