Winter is here and Sarah's getting too heavy

Ok so it's no suprise, winter/autumn is here, however a week ago we were wearing shorts and t-shirts and it was still summer. Then bang the next day it was freezing...(well not really freezing but cold!).

Here in Taiwan we are lucky, we have a very long and hot summer. This is lucky if like me you hate the cold. However when the temperature drops below 20 its really cold, inside and out and that i think is the big deal. You may say well it gets below freezing here, and there is snow ect...but at least you go home and its WARM..and dry (it is also damp here all so its not a crisp dry feeling but a soggy wet dog kind of feel and often smell..)

Here the houses / work places are not insulated at all...and they have NO heating. So when it's cold outside it is often colder inside (which funnly enough is the same as summer, as the air con is blasting away making inside very cold when the out side is boiling. However now it's not a matter flicking a switch to feel warm again, you have to wear tons of clothes to work, watch tv, play with your kids ect)... I've had a week of it and i am over it!

Also some days it has been hot one minute then 1o minutes later its freezing...which makes dressing a nightmare, and this year i have to dress myself and my dd! It is little wonder that we have all been sick for week. This changing temp isn't pleasant. 

Also with all the clothes Sarah's wearing now she is over 10kg...which is getting to be too heavy for me to carry around. I was blessed and still am with a daughter that is tiny for her again, well not tiny but light. Since she's been with me she's gained lots of weight..which is wonderful on one hand but on the other (or even with both) its too heavy for me. I dread the day when i can't carry her and i think that this is around the corner. i dread it as the buses are not buggy friendly, at least 3 stairs to climb, and thus i'd have to get her to walk...which is SLOW!! and i don't like to walk slow..i am often in a mad rush to get anywhere, so it sucks.

I don't know what i will do when that day comes but i guess i will have to put a pair of skates on her and wheel her every where..or maybe a skateboard. (as i said the buggy doesn't really work as then i have to carry the buggy and her up the stairs to the bus and down again...i suspect i will do that but what a drag.)

Ho hum.

Can't wait for summer...not long now i guess!
