If you think I can't Watch Me

I haven't been blogging for the past few days fr a lot of reasons. Most important reason is that I have been heavily involved with my 2 girls returning back to school. Speaking of returning to school I am going to be a student this year as well as a teacher. And I have to admit I do enjoy being a student more than being a teacher at least I can be my cheeky self in the class room. What am I studying well its a secret for now lol, all I can say its research work in my field. I am working on a very ambitious project and it will take a good five years to make it to the level I want and this year is the foundation research year. As I said on the 22nd of Jan Dragon year is always a big year for me. I have been struggling lately between my role as a mother and my professional ambition and the way out was to be involved in both at the same time. So I will do all my research work while the kids are doing their home work so we are all "Studying" lol and my design work on weekend so we are having fun together in fact the kids will accompany me for all my classes cause both of them are keen to learn. That leaves me with my day job which I will be involved in it while they are at school. OMG the things that we have to go through as women "sigh". When am I going to do my shopping lol???? When am I going to go out with my freinds? most importantly will I ever have time to sleep?????????????????

Well long ago my lecturer challenged me to go through with the year I had taken 8 units per term and had 2 part time jobs. He said "Mona you won't make it! you will be as slow in giving in your research as a turtle!". I then turned around and said " a turtle on the right way will reach the end before a fox on the wrong way" if you think I can't watch me! That turtle did reach the end (well she carefully planned the way and stuck to her guns). This year I will stick to my guns I will do what counts more and I will not pay attention to what doesn't.

Cause over the years I became like him and started to think I can't! its too much kids, 2 careers, family awoooo so this year at Dawn I looked at my own image whom I hardly recognize any more and said "If you think I can't watch me"
