My Day

By bigpumpkin | March 13, 2007

It started off with the Hubs being late for work as usual. As we share one car, T and I have to rush like mad fools every morning that we want the car, to send the Hubs to work. Otherwise, no car. He gets really annoyed with us not because he cannot be late for work but because he just is so damn busy and has five million five hundred things to complete within a set deadline. Working for Middle Eastern clients, the deadlines are anal. Even if you told the client, this is not possible. They’d say, just do it (yeah, they take their cue from Nike, not very original init?). And because they dangle the gold carrot within sight, everyone just scrambles into mad mode. It’s crazy but it has also shown me how much you can really achieve when put under immense pressure. Remarkable results.

After dropping the Hubs off, we went to the hospital to accompany my aunt have her eggs removed from her ovaries. She is 46 and trying to get pregnant. I wish her well.

Then my beloved mother calls to give me this dreaded task of URGENTLY going to my old residence to collect mail that has wrongly been sent. I hate it when she does that. I have a baby in tow and it is not the easiest thing in the world to run your urgent errands, mother. It was only last week that I had to drop everything and run another urgent errand for my mother. I swear, not having an office job makes her think I am her PA. Which I am not.

For lunch we went to Bangsar for an Italian host playgroup where I finally got to sit and drink a glass of water. T had a wild time playing with four other kids her age and we finally ended up leaving at 7pm. Needless to say, she has not showered today but has already passed out cold.

*sniff* I think I’m sleeping with the Hubs tonight. Perhaps we can work on that new baby
