Pressing!

Haaa!!! Best strip showing how exasperating adults can get from kids.

The thing about human relationship is that we really never know what we are going to get, especially with children. I haven't been doing any quality entry lately which makes me wonder if I have been doing anything of quality in life.

Recently, I wake up every morning wondering "What today brings?". Good thing about everything is that I do not work alone. When a plan fail, we get back as a team and churn out a new plan. New plan fail, we get back together again and come up with another plan. Trials and errors and lately, I feel that I am literally working against time. Time is just not in favor for me and it's so frustrating, so exasperating, so hair-pulling.

At this moment, I am vaguely remembering my first email from my boss when I first joined the Residential Services. For children in RS, we cannot expect miracles. If we have a child who runs away 10 times in a month and in another month, it happens 9 times, it's already worth commending and affirming! (In a positive light, I could console myself that I worry 1 time less.)

Mummy, when young, often remind me that when the going gets tough, the tough gets going. I am remembering that, trusting God, believing in the work process, pressing towards the goal and gritting my teeth through.
