New beginning

I realize that I have been neglecting my site. I never really meant to abandon it, as I do enjoy keeping a journal. I have however been busy keeping up with one senior toddler and another demented toddler. I used to tell friends that what I liked most about having a girl and then a boy was the potential experiences raising the two diffeent sexes. What I tell total strangers now is that had I had Dylan first, he would have been an only child. He is a wonderous child but my God he is reckless. I have had Doug do a practice run to the nearest emergency room as he has had his fair share of tumbles and I suspect many more to come.

I have also been preparing to start teaching an MBA course. Prep work is no fun. It is only a half course but it is my first ever. Rather apprehensive. Because we dont have a nanny, and as D teaches right after me tomorrow, he will stay at home while I teach, take Dylan to the Uni, and we will do the Dylan handoff after my class.

We just came back from som R&R in Ixtapa, Mexico. It was after a rather dreary and cold Wednesday a few weeks back that D and I decided we needed to get away from the cold and more importantly the kids' snow suits. We called Karen our trusty travel agent and told her to send us somewhere. She immediately shouted Club Meddddd!! We loved it!! As it is not a cultural hub, we had no choice but to laze by the beach and relax. I find that when I take holidays I am always torn between taking in culture orrelaxing. I invariable choose the waking uo at 7 to take random bus to see temple/castle/Unesco world heritage site, and need a holiday after my holiday. Not this time. We had quality family time. And it was there I realized I had to make time to blog...I need to do things for me..there will always be other more important things to do..but they may not necessarily be better.
