Wisdom words from Supernanny

I haven't been feeling absolutely superb at the moment.So there I was doing some soul-searching(seems never ending...)when I stumbled upon some wise words from "Supernanny"(it's a book...for your info..)

Adapted from "Ask Supernanny"
-available in most bookstores(hah...like advertisement hoh....w/o commisions ok...just wanna help some almost insane parents out there get their sanity back.)

"If you and your partner are going to funtion as a team,you need to remind yourselves of what brought you together as a couple in the first place and find some common ground."

"He should appreciate that all children need boundaries,and one of the ways in which you set those boundaries in place...."

"In a lot of families that I see,there's plenty of love,but not much respect.Your husband needs to know that discipline will not make your kids love him less"
(applies for me ok...dh...)

This is currently dd's favourite song.She loves it so much that she always insist that I play it over and over and over and over again....till my MP3 goes flat(seriously!).

How come this song?It started with the song being dh's favourite .

Funny scene because of this song:
DD was singing it(well...kinda...coz she is still sort of learning the song)in the MRT while I was sending her to SIL.She even did the guitar strumming and stuff.So cute.

I haven't got any holidays with Yasmin.It has been work, work and endless work.Yes...I do enjoy my work(if you ask me)but I don't enjoy being away from my family most of the time.

Yasmin's growing up damn fast too.Look at her now.So grown up.I miss having to just cuddle her.Coz now I have to answer all her questions.And they're never ending mind you.

dd:blah...blah..blah

mama:yasmin,why do you ask so many questions?

dd:abeh....minmin nak cakap.(because I want to talk)

And she won't accept your silence if she wants an answer from you.She'll repeat her questions till you'll admit defeat.Yes.That's her.Strong-headed girl.(Kalau dalam bahasa Melayu and a more negative description-mungkin....KEPALA BATU).But since we must always think positively...I'll say she's a determined girl.Hah.(Always have to remind myself....whatever I say is like my prayer("doa") for my child.)

Life brings along unexpected journeys.
And it is through this journey that you'll learn about life.

Act as if every event has a purpose
And your life will have a purpose.

Figure out why you needed an experience,
Conquer it
And you won't need it again.
(adapted from Happiness in a Nutshell by Andrew Matthews)

It is thru' Yasmin that I'm reminded to
Love myself first

It is thru' Yasmin that I'm reminded that
why I love my hubby so much

It is thru' Yasmin that I now know
my purpose and drive

They say a child will bless your Life.
I agree.
Even in the most bleak moments
I cherish the lessons that He has intended.
