Balancing Work and Family: my first 2012 resolution

Its been raining almost all day today. I sat in front of my laptop while Ratih does her homework (yeah, even a Kindergaten student have a homework these days).
This is the final day in 2011 and like the years before I don’t have any particular plan. Instead my head wanders through the year that have passed…
It seems that my main concern throughout 2011 remains how to balance between family and work. It has been a tough challenge, but I intend to overcome it I am thankful that both my children is growing beautifully. Ratih becomes more and more girly (she starts combing her own her, choose her pink attire and even playing with my make up ). She has taken piano lessons and always jump at every chance of performing. She has also started writing and just this month she began to spell and read simple words. Her strong point has always been her communication skill. She can tell a complete story with great length and detail. She can also understand and speak English
Hita celebrates her First birthday in May and since then has grown a lot. She walks, runs and talks a lot. Even more than Ratih. Every words that she utters make me laugh…But she also starts throwing temper tantrum Especially with regard to her older sister. She has the tendency of wanting and grabbing whatever her older sister has in hand..But, whenever they are apart they miss each other really Girls, later when you are able read this, Mom and Dad are so happy and thankful to have you both as our daughters.

So, my first New Year resolution goes like this:
I hope that in 2012 I can manage my family and work better.

Don’t know how yet, and I am quite confident that the year ahead is going to be more challenging. Just this month I was given additional obligation at work. A position that I reluctantly accepted. But, I cant let down those who have entrusted me…

I guess I just have to figure out, how to achieve this resolution as I go a long
