As children we look forward to Chinese New Year because that will be the day we can get lots of cash. As parents, I don’t really look forward to CNY coz that will be the day we give away lots of cash. hehe. Anyway, thank God for His blessings. We received more than we gave.

For the past few days, my children have been discussing on how to spend their angpows collection and asking me permission to spend them. My eldest wanted to buy a doll house, my 2nd girl, jewelry and make up set and my boys wanted the revell model kits. Will they get what they wanted? Of course, NOT! We need to save money for their homeschooling materials. Homeschooling is cheaper if you have many children but it requires a lot of investment to begin.

Thanks for the post, Vernon Lowe

Every time I try to get on my computer or the phone, my cat seems to get extra interested in what I’m doing – it never fails. The other morning when I pulled out my laptop and tried to look at http://www.expertsatellite.com/, he immediately walked over to me and repeatedly tried to climb in my lap. Ok, cat – first of all, the computer is in my lap, so that leaves no room for you. Second, I can’t really type with you laying on both my arm and the keyboard. Each and every time he tries to get on my lap, I push him off, but that doesn’t keep him from trying again. He also has these little dagger paws; they look soft and furry, but when one shoots straight into your abdomen, it turns into a weapon. It always turns into sort of a showdown. Sometimes I give up if he is persistent enough and let him snuggle up on my side. There are other times when he gives up and gets in his bed with his back to me, pouting like a child.
