I don’t like to sound like I am complaining because I wanted to have this job in the first place and I do really want to keep it.
Teaching is a lot of work. I have a minimal number of classes per week but the amount of work is tantamount to having a 7-5 job. I used to have more classes per week in China but I was always relaxed. I had time for other things like meeting my friends, chatting with my family back home, and partying. Right now it seems that the time I have is just enough for lesson planning and making props. Other tasks like most of the housework are postponed. The pile of clothes waiting to be ironed is incredible… I don’t know if I can ever iron it all to the last piece of clothing.
Hubby understands that since I am now working, he has to help me with the housework and that’s what he is doing but I never dare let him do the ironing (he can’t do it to my standard). I still do the cleaning but at least he tries so hard not to make a mess.
He cooks sometimes. He likes doing it and I let him because he’s a far better cook than I am.
The work brought so much adjustment to our household. I still do most of the work but I noticed that when hubby can help it, he tries to minimize the housework for me.

Do you remember how you believed in Santa when you were a kid? How cool it is to learn stories about Santa and to receive gifts from him? Do you remember sending Santa a letter? Did you get an answer to your letter?
I was just visiting and reading a site where people can share and read each other’s phone call stories. They expose the numbers of their callers and tell people what to expect from such numbers. One woman there said that she got a call from unknown number and the person on the other end of the line claimed that she is with her (the receiver of the call) husband. That’s a little bit funny to me but some reports are not to be ignored. Like a call from a number owned by a child molester. So if you are getting weird calls, maybe you can share it in this site or maybe you’ll learn that the number of your caller has been previously reported by others already. Check out
