I have been getting very little sleep. No, that’s nothing new but more so now because I have been commissioned to write a coffee table book for the Government. The routine is, I am working every waking hour as much as is feasibly possible with a toddler, and then after she sleeps till 3-4 am most nights. It’s like having a full time day job except I have this other job of making sure T is fed, cleaned and entertained.

I am tired. Very, very tired. Even the Hubs feels I should slow down before I burn out. What more, we leave for Bahrain for 2 weeks in 2 days. Then we return for 1 night and fly off to Chiang Mai the next day for another 4 days. Have we packed? No. But of course, this is secondary to my life of unreasonable deadlines and unreasonable toddlers.

Today, T swirled her little hands into an oily fish soup that my mother had bought for her and rubbed the soup all over her face and neck, as though she was professionaly performing a self-facial. I’m not sure what benefits fish soup did for her already perfect skin but I went beserk! Especially when her hands started roaming everywhere else…..her HAIR, the couch, my pants etc.

Despite screams and smoke spiralling out of every orifice from a woman who’d totally lost it, T wasn’t the least bit scared and thought it was funny.

And do you know how many times I have told her NOT to jump on the couch?

What is it with kids these days?
