I water the plants, trim the branches of trees, and pull the weeds out, which make feel peaceful and cathartic . Hopefully, I need some down time instead of paying attention to my son. My teacher asked me to do meditation which could help me relaxed, thats what I want to.
Christmas is coming, my husband will dress up as santa. Though we don’t have a chimney, my husband would come in from the door to give presents and my son would surprised of it. Every year I buy some wreathes and put them on the door. I love decoration very much. Next week we will have a parents interview which holds by the new kindergarten and I hope everything is just ducky.
