Grouchy day - Tuesday (8th Apr 08)

Today both Kieron and Kayden were very grouchy. One refused to go to school when woke up in the morning, another kept making noises, trying to sleep and be alert at the same time.


Kieron looked like a panda this morning when he slept at 11pm. He got real excited and curious when he heard me talking over the phone with his dad about the robbery. He asked so much qs, "Who robbed Papa?" "Why he rob papa?" "Papa how to come home?" "No passport, police will catch Papa anot?" Till I threatened him with cane, then he willing to keep quiet and sleep.


As for Kayden, when we were out this morning. He was so alert that he refused to sleep inside the sarong, so I let him be in sitting position. He was really happy, kicking and waving his hands all the way from home till Kieron's school. Then he got
tired, he wanted to sleep so started being grouchy. I tried to pat him to sleep. He threw temper, cos he wanted to play at the same time but too tired to do so. Only way - cry lor.

Today is a wet wet day. With sudden heavy downpour with thunder and lightnings. I
had to postpone my marketing.. It had been always a headache to buy ingredients. Can't do so in the morning, because both sons sleeping. After son's school, weather be either be too hot or too wet. I can't handle 2 kids and plastic bags especially during the raining period. I only can wait till their dad's home, and I went out shopping on my own. But, it's already evening time.. Haiz.. Time is just not enough for me.

People always envy housewife, thinking they don't have to work and can rest at home. They are Wrong. Housewives had their own stress and tiredness as well..
For me.. Imagine daytime busy with 2 kids, 1 baby with 2hrs feeds, alert times for companion, another small kid to discipline, to coach, to keep an eye on. At the same time, doing household chores, preparing and cooking meals, washing and keeping clothes, tidying and keeping toys and books. By the time, everyone goes to sleep is the only time she has the time for herself. It's already midnight. There are many people asking me why I go to sleep so late everyday, my only answer, " I need some private time of my own to destress".
