I was made an “unwilling” full time mum for a day yesterday… Usually during my very precious weekday off, I prefer to enjoy some me time… For the past months.. all my weekday offs are being spent trapped at home, waiting for various contractors to come and do up their businesses…. This week is the last week that I will get a week day off till 2 months later…. AND I still couldn’t get my much anticipated me time!!
Mil wasn’t free to look after Kenji as she had to prepare for prayers… Dec fell ill and thus couldn’t go to school… so I was kept at home with the 2 boys… The younger one refused to let me sleep in… he practically dug me out of bed at 9am….. I was hoping that I could snooze till 11am… sigh….
Pacified him and managed to get another 1+hr lazing in bed. Woke up at 10+ to cook in my brand new kitchen for the very first time!! Before this, the operating manual was still stuck on my cooker hood lor… Actually I didn’t really cook lah :p I just made some grilled cheese sandwich over the fire. hahahha I know that’s cheating :p
Big one for me, the halves for Declan and the bite sizes for Kenji. I gave the boys strawberry milk to go with breakkie. These boys really kept me busy throughout their breakfast with spills overall the place… Kenji dripped his milk all over the living and dining room… i didn’t notice till ants started accumulating around the milk spots and i was wondering how come got black polkadots on my floor…. *faint*.. I cleaned the floor at least 4-5 times to clean up their dropped bits and spilled milk… didn’t really enjoy my breakfast…. not with little Kenji trying to fight with me for my much prized 3-in-1 coffee….
After breakkie (which ended near lunch time!!), I let the boys watched Leap Frog VCD and gave them their toys, while I took some “time off” to go online…Shortly.. Kenji came in to act a drama for me :
Not quite sure what he wanted until I detected a pungent smelll accompanying him…. arghhhhh time to clean up poo…. and so I did… Following the cleaning up I let him watch Thomas the Tank cartoon while kor kor played with his trains… and not long after this happened:
The drama king was knocked out! yahooooooo finally me time but it’s time to cook lunch for the boys lor… and the naggy Dec is hounding me at my back to take over my computer for his games…….
No choice but to give in to my first born…. while I mess around the kitchen to make lunch…
*Simmer simmer simmer* what’s cooking? As if I am cooking up a storm but chey! It’s just some simple tasteless macaroni with prawn balls and mixed vege only lah.
Poor thing leh my kids… cos the mummy can’t really cook…. simple food like the above also turn out too bland :p but never mind… I console myself that it is a healtier choice. Kenji down the whole bowl while Dec only ate the prawn balls… never give me face one…. The rest I settled them myself…
Fortunately after our late lunch (around 3+pm) my sis and bro in law came over to help entertain the kids. Yippeeeeeeeeeee time off for me again. I forget to add that the boys created a war zone in my living room with their toys slew all over the place… I didn’t bother to pick them up….. How did u full time mums survive??? I can hardly live pass a day being a full time mum……… You gals are really good! Respect!
A busy day for you indeed
That’s how I have been spending my days since don’t know when 
Now that I have a helper, things are better and I get to play my facebook games.
I had a smile on my face as I read on…cos you’re describing my days..haha..
Sometimes I too wonder how I can still stay sane after a year plus… 
Sorry lar but I was also smiling as I was reading too…..and you managed to describe it so well that I can feel how you went thro the entire day…..
congrats, you survived THAT day and it’s over for now…..:)
Just like you, I can never understand how the full time mums do it, kudos to them all
