Time to Declutter too
Read in Delci's friend's blog about decluttering.This will be a new term for me to use, in replace of spring cleaning, hahaha ....
Well, to spring clean means to keep the house sparkling clean, which to me, is not possible yet.
Some of my colleagues said their homes are decorated with many ornaments and such, one even said her home is full of glass furnitures and displays (which need a fair bit of maintainence). I can only hear and drool.
Those of you who had been to my humble abode. Remember my white cabinet at the TV area? Remember the glass panels? I had 4 of them. Now, only 3 are left. All thanks to Zane. He was too forceful when he opened the panels. Sigh. So, one fine day, one panel came crushing down on the floor and very thankfully, missed Zane. He ducked really fast and my heart stopped beating for seconds.
I've only cleared Zane's old school uniforms. Zoe's next. Should I just throw them? Hmmmm ......
Next in mind should be the clothes which can't fit Zoe and Zane anymore.
Followed by my own clothes.
Study room is a mess too. And the thought of tidying up leaves me exhausted. It will be massive. I've to file the K1 stuffs I'd created over the year. Preparing for K2 stuffs for next year. The crafts' stuffs alone is a headache. I must be daring enough, to just discard the old stuff. Arrgghhhhhh !!! The down side of being a preschool teacher.
Zoe's Kindergarten stuffs? That will need one box at least.
Zane's pre-nursery stuffs? Another box, I guess.
But .... I'm not too keen in keeping the LC craft work their teachers did with them.
My students' fees are the lowest of the three schools and yet the quality of the crafts they brought home is of the highest standards and impressive. I do feel my very own children being short changed. Sigh ..... IF only I am their teacher in school too. In homeschooling setting, definitely possible, but I also want the social dynamics for them.
It is different when I duplicate what I did in school with my students, with Zoe. The fun element and learning together synergy just aren't there. It may purely be a stand alone art and craft session with mummy. Plus, not much pride will be attached to the finished products. She can't bring it home to show her mummy, just like my students, right? But, she always enthuastically brought back her paper plates or toilet rolls crafts from school and exclaimed without fail, "Look, Mummy! I made this!!!! Look!!!"
Gotta end here. Both children are up and getting them ready to leave the house.
Till the next posting.
Love,
Jesselyn Ng
