In these week, there are so many things happening with me.
In family, as these time it is transitional seasons from summer to winter which called "autumn". but in the real life is that this is a very cold weather for us who are from a tropical country. Unfortunately, the kids had been suffering with a flu. Then, me and lastly my husband. This situation makes me spending a lots of energy because not only to look after the kids, study hard, but working for Thaihouse required to run by me. I feel that I have such a working hard in many aspects when compared to other PHD friends who have just one thing to keep focusing on. However, I relised that being sad helps nothing. the best solution is keep doing, keep walking. in the mid of the week, i picked up my son in the school. Din said that his teacher wants to talk to me. i know that what will be happen. the teacher said that the school team need to discuss to me about Din to find out the ways to support him. At that time I feel like I am being strike. I suddenly run out of energy. I want to cry but have such very dry eyes. while going home, d she pulled my thoughts back with her nice words.
I asked Din what else happened in school today? he said nothing. I were unconscious, i shouted at him "Why don't do know what is going on with you?" .............then it is silence.......
I heard Din sobbing, he was crying and saying that ....what the teacher talked to you mom?
I said nothing.......I told him I need time out to coping myself.
Regarding to the study, my plan is that finishing the 2 interviews by the end of this month, but the problem is the difficulty to recruit the rest of participants. I want to work on the transcribing, reading about social theories, and working on the initial analysis, but nothing has been done.
However, I am trying to keep in the educational sphere. meanwhile, I am trying to take part as a mother.
I am setting my schedule as the normal people do. To sleep at the night, have a breakfast in the morning. take the kids to school, and pick them home then play with them teach homework to them . I spend 6 hours a day in my study, but the effectiveness is not entire in the 6 hours. I have been doing a slow progress of the study. this is very disappointed me. Nevertheless, for now I do my best to keep life- work balancing. I am being tested with the difficult life- questions. But, i have to fight with them.
