UUUUPDAAAATE

Its been awhile since my last update, but please excuse the delay. In Bhutan, the months of September,October are usually filled with tourists, visiting friends and ofcourse this time His Majesty 5th King's wedding...well that's been occupying my time so far and today is the first day that I have some time to type an update.

Zangtogpalri: deadline might be further pushed, think we were being a bit ambitious about Losar 2012 deadline, but let me tell you that the '3 boys' as they are now known(Pema Wangdi, Dungchen Sangay Dorji and Lopen Tengkhey) are going all out and are now on the road, re-checking and verifying information on all the 15 murals that we have so far...I feel very bad to be sitting at home and having the luxury of doing 'nothing much.'
Khun Pui will be joining us soon to work further when the boys get back. Im working on the glossary of Buddhist terms in the book...ehehe its quite a task and Im in awe of Robert Beer who's done this HUGE book on Buddhist symbols...its staggering...hopefully I can get through further than page 3, which is on the 8 auspicious symbols ALONE!! And to top it off, Im not as knowledgeable.

Family: 2 weeks starting today with no trophy husband, who's off with guests on pilgrimage to Tashi Yangtse for Rigsum Gonpo trek, and three kids at home...mmm this is going to be quite...well a handful and needs pre-planning...I even forgot what's it like before I had kids LOL

Self: Nooo no more self analysis...no time!! Need to eat more,nothing fits me, its sad really. Sleep more..if thats possible with baby and his night time romps...he's so excited he's crawling and a bit cranky with his first tooth. And teaching my eldest daughter is fun sometimes and a total nightmare in others...depends on her delicate state of mood...urgh and two weeks to go to her final exams!! At grade 2 I never studied that much..phew the things kids have to do nowadays!! And my poor middle son, who's now 3, is trying his best to get my attention between baby and teaching his Ashim, I feel terribly guilty at times that I cant give him as much time as the other two...for now...once her exams are over, its back to normal.

Other than that, trying my best to find Inner Peace....if you have ever watched Kungfu Panda..you know what I mean when Im alot like Po's master with Po...Lol
