Since April began, we’ve had a series of cold, rainy days, but today was finally sunny for the first time in a while.
For breakfast, we had pancakes. Yesterday, while watching “Egachan-nel” on YouTube, I saw an episode where Egachan—whose stage name is Egashira 2:50, a famous Japanese comedian known for his wild and energetic personality, and affectionately called “Egachan” by fans—was making pancakes with a staff member’s child. Suddenly, I got a craving for pancakes myself.
In the video, a 2-year-old was cooking, and seeing that, my second son wanted to try making them too, so I let him give it a shot. However, flipping the pancakes still seems a bit tricky for him. Since pancakes can be frozen, I wrapped the leftovers in plastic wrap and put them in the freezer.
After that, I tidied up the house. I gathered up old papers we no longer needed—like my elder son’s elementary school textbooks and materials my second son brought home from preschool—and took them to the recycling box. We’d also accumulated a bunch of empty plastic bottles, so I took those to the recycling box as well.
When I was a kid, I didn’t particularly like spring (I preferred summer with its long, long holidays), but year by year, I’ve come to enjoy it more. In the nearby park, spring flowers like cherry blossoms and tulips are blooming, and just looking at them brightens my mood. This April, my second son is starting elementary school, my elder son is entering junior high, and my husband is switching workplaces.
Everyone’s environment is changing, and they’re all getting a fresh start—except for me, where nothing’s really changing. That makes me feel a little frustrated, or rather, it’s sparked a desire in me to start something new, to grow and evolve.
That’s when I suddenly remembered studying for the Level 3 Bookkeeping exam with 2 colleagues from work a long time ago. I can’t quite recall how it came about, but back in my 20s, a senior colleague, a junior colleague, and I formed a little study group for bookkeeping. At first, we’d stay in the meeting room for an hour after work to study, but as work got busier, it started to fizzle out. In the end, all three of us signed up for the exam, but I was the only one who actually showed up on the day… 😅 And, unsurprisingly, I failed. After that, our study group just naturally dissolved.
It’s been quite a while since then, and it still bugs me that I left it at a failure. So I’m thinking about giving it another try. I have no ambition to get a job in accounting or anything like that—it just feels like it could be useful for managing our household finances. I’d love to grow our family’s assets! 💰
What about all of you? Are you thinking of starting something new this spring?

4月に入ってから寒い雨の日が続いていましたが、今日は久しぶりの晴れでした。
朝食はパンケーキ。昨日YouTubeで「エガちゃんねる」を観ていたら、エガちゃんがスタッフの子どもとパンケーキを焼く回があり、急に食べたくなってしまったのでした。
動画では2歳児が焼いているのを観て、次男も焼きたがったので任せてみましたが… ひっくり返すのがまだちょっと難しいようです。パンケーキは冷凍保存できるようだったので、余った分はラップにくるんで冷凍庫へ。
その後、家の片づけをしました。長男の小学校の教科書や、次男が保育園から持ち帰った教材など、不要となった古紙をまとめてリサイクルボックスへ。空のペットボトルも溜まっていたので、これもまたリサイクルボックスへ入れに行きました。
子どものころはそれほど好きではなかった春ですが(長い長い休みがある夏が好きでした)、年々好きになっていきます。近所の公園では桜やチューリップなど春の花が咲いていて、見るだけで気持ちが明るくなりました。
この4月、長男と次男はそれぞれ小学校、中学校に進学し、夫は職場が変わります。皆それぞれ環境が変わり新しいスタートを切るというのに、私は特に何も変わりません。それがちょっとだけ悔しいというか、私も何か新しいことを始めたい、進化したい、そんな気持ちになりました。
それでふと思い出したのが、むかし会社の同僚たちとちょっとだけ勉強した簿記3級です。どういう経緯だったかはもう忘れてしまいましたが、20代のころ、職場の先輩、後輩と私の3人で簿記を勉強していたことがありました。最初は業務終了後に1時間ほど会議室に残って勉強したりしていたのが、仕事が忙しくなるにつれて流れがちになりました。そして3人とも試験の申し込みまではしたものの、当日会場へ行ったのは私だけという・・・😅しかも、案の定不合格。その後、その勉強会グループも自然消滅してしまいました。
もう随分昔の話になりますが、落ちたままというのも悔しいですし、もう一度勉強してみようかな。経理の仕事に就きたいとかそういう希望は全くないのですが、普通に家計管理に役立ちそう、と思ってます。家の資産増やしたいです🤑
皆さんはこの春、何か新しく始めようと思っていることはありますか?
