It is 4 pm now. I took them shower, then trimmed their nails, feed them earlier than usual, washed all the dirty clothes, prepared rice for tonight, watered the shiso plant outdoor and slightly organized the house. It has 6 months since I moved to Japan. This is just one of the other days. But I feel this was a moment I need to remember. I went to the tsukuba-shi of Ibaraki-ken with kids today. It was far and we walked a lot. I felt distress that we can’t make it to the uchuu senta-. I can only afford to go there with them because of the admission was free and I didn’t even make it because the walking distance while I have to hold my daughter and my son was so tired to walk anymore in the half way. We had walked more than 30 minutes already. How disappointed it was? Then, we stopped at a game center; however, I only had 500 yen (yes $5 dollars only) in my pocket and my son was keep asking me that he wanted to play. I felt so pain to say no because actually I didn’t have enough cash.
It has been more than 5 months since my last blog. And why this is the moment I need to remember. Next week this time, I might be heading to my new and first arubaito in Japan. I recalled how many time I had asked my son to wait for me to finish my work before playing block with him; how many time I whether searched the internet instead of taking nap with them; how many time I hit him because of those tiny little things; how many time I put him down after just couples minutes of kata kuroma and pretending I was tried and actually I wasn’t; how many time my son asked me to go to kouen with him and I whether reviewed my Japanese and said no and how many time I slept late to work on my resume or even watch movie. In our life, there is absolutely something more important than anything else, anything- your kids. I am so happy to stay with them in these 5 months and I feel so treasure that those time might end soon since I have found this part time. I have lost 20 months of my daughter childhood and I will never trade their childhoods with anything else, not even…
I will soon be able to post a Japanese version of blog for the first time. I am so exciting to see my first draft.
My Japan’s life is full of energy again. First is the menkyosho and the second one is this arubaito. Ganbarou!.
