Last night, after posting my post I thought "hey its time for my meal of the day " cook maggie mee la. So I went down with my cacated finger and cook maggie kari with some tiny sausages for the kids to eat. Then Big C came home and asked "Now only u cook dinner? You haven't eaten?" I thought what a funny question to ask when its TIME to cook dinner at 7 plus. I asked him, "why u come home so early? I thought got badminton tonight? He replied "It's near to 9pm u know?". I was shocked, 9 pm and I baru eat dinner. Like I said NUMB. The brain is NUMB. The finger is pain and NUMB. The stomach also NUMB. I only eat cos I have to eat.
This morning, I thought I should leave early before picking Jayden up from sch, so its good time to go to the post office to renew my licence. Waited and waited and finally couldn't wait anymore. So left to pick JD. Since its the last day before my licence expire, I thought why not go to one that is in a shopping mall. So off we went to Ikano.
At the car park, I was trying to help JD to fit his shoes on and he jumped from the car and .... LANDED on my injured finger. Wah Piang!!!! pain............. and then NUMB. Seriously, speechless. He saw and he thought that he caused the injury and kept asking if I'm alright, kept saying "I hold your right hand - your left hand painpain, Why You cut yr finger mami??"
See that its different colour from the other fingers? Greenish Yellowish like a dead finger.
Anyway Yes. I brought 2 boys out in a shopping mall ALONE. Since Justin was sleeping in the stroller it made it easier for me to go buy whatever I needed to buy. Thank god, Jayden changed so much and is very helpful. I have waited so long for these day to come. Now, I gotto wait for JT's turn. We went to so many shops and ate mcD. So nice.
And now i'm back home with a koala hanging behind me while I type this. *sigh*
See la... how irritating. If he sit there only nevermind. He just love to hug my neck and suffocate me.
Luckily he is cute if not i cekik him edi..
First week, I gotto admit that it was bad. JT was teething and sick with flu so he refused food and drink. I gotto kept forcing him to eat and spoonfeed him with water and milk. I was so stressed until I really broke down and cried. It was Jayden's word that picked me up "Mami, you can do it!" and "Mami please don't be angry. Let me kiss you". Big C was helpful too, kept asking me to rest and offered to buy food back.
This week I thought that it will be better. But I cut my finger and I'm basically working with just one hand and worst, I burnt my other hand last night. I thought that the sterilizer is done and i went to open the cover and BOOOSH the hot air came out and basically "cooked" my finger. So 2 hands also cacated. I was pissed and angry at myself for being so careless and started to argue with Big C. That's when Jayden said to us "mami and dadi? Why u all so angry? Don't be angry." The 2 of us just kept quiet. Jayden oh Jayden.. you just know when to say the right words.
Nevermind..nevermind.. Just tahan. If 2nd week is bad then perhap 3rd week is better, right?
Gosh...cacat-ed both hands? Hope your 3rd week will be better. 3 is always the lucky number :)
ReplyDeleteHa... you will be fine soon. It took me a month to really settle down without a maid. But of course..I only have 1 kid. But hey.. you will be fine...hang in there... *ka yau!*
ReplyDeleteThe initial weeks are always the toughest.Soon, it will be a piece of cake. Hang in there!
ReplyDeleteDont worry lah. When the ship reaches the port, it will go into the right place automatically lah .. as the chinese saying goes. Keep up the good work! Im sure the kids are proud of you.
ReplyDeleteJayden is such a sweetie! Yeah, the 3rd week and the rest of the weeks and months to come will definitely be better. Just relax yourself a bit more and be calm ok :-)
ReplyDeleteooooh.. poor sasha... i guess we have to learn how to survive in the house as much as outside the house too..
ReplyDeleteand that is why the song "I'm Not A Superwoman" is composed! :p
oh btw sasha, how can i help u in that drinks u mentioned.. i cannot find yr email anywhere here..
ReplyDeletemine is reanact@gmail.com
YOu very champion already lah......if it was me, I would have jumped off the balcony liao LOL
ReplyDeleteSasha, its too much to manage over there. perhaps u would wanna consider catering food? so u'll have more time for other thing else.
ReplyDeleteJayden turning out to be matured little boy ya.. really mummy's boy. Soon it'll be Justin's turn. Hang in there.. hai tak keh !! today I almost snapped when i had to clean amber's bedsheet (she took off diapers and wet the whole bed) and then the store room flooded. cursing and cursing life.. now.. cool down n chill out..
ReplyDeleteu'll be fine :). Hey, cater food lah, that'll help alot, at least ada food to makan no need worry mah ;)
ReplyDeletetake it easy..sasha...it is always tough at the beginning. Just do what u can and close both eyes for the rest. Don't overstress urself and slowly u will get ur routine right.
ReplyDeletegosh the finger looks painful. hope it'll get better soon.
ReplyDeletesasha, do hang in there. it WILL get better, seriously. the first month i was maidless, i was also NUMB. then it got slightly better. and better. and better! now i cannot imagine having a bloody interfering maid in my life. (not unless we have a small toddler later on that i cannot manage with my bad spine!)
so in short.. have faith in yourself. noone gets used to such major changes overnight. give yourself some time.
Hang in there, you're doing a great job! Remember you're a tough mama?? Nothing can beat you down.
ReplyDeleteTake care and rest when you can. :)
poor you. yes...it will be better once everything has settled down. you can do it :D jayden is such a good and sensible boy :) i like the last pic of the cheeky lion.
ReplyDeleteThis must not be an easy week for you for so many things happen...hang in there...you can do it and Jayden's words really comforting.
ReplyDeleteThe cooking, don't do la for now..just pack for the time being or eat out..it will makes ur life easier and less stress to buy food, wash and cook...then u less concentrate for other thing..when you think u can settle down then start your cooking again.
aiyo. hope the fingers are healing.
ReplyDeleteu can do it. ur Supermom leh! gambate!
so sweet of jayden! i hope your finger & hand has recovered. gan ba tei :D
ReplyDelete4th week will be even better and 5th week will be a breeze. Either that or by 5th week you need a breeze to fan you to wake up. lol.
ReplyDeleteAiyoh, the hot steam from the sterilizer is damn painful, can really cook your skin! So will u b getting another replacement maid?
ReplyDeleteoh dear oh dear... you poor thing leh... pls take good care of yourself (and the cacated fingers) too... Good thing you makan McD and not KFC (coz KFC's finger licking good!! sorry bad joke!)
ReplyDeletehugs to Jayden.. he turned into such a sweet child..
When there's no maid in the hse, the kids will somehow become more matured n responsible. JD with his thotful words n JT so helpful (trying to fix the curtain rod samo). Try not to do everything urself ya. Get part-time cleaners, cater food, etc. Hang in there, girl.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, 3rd week sure will be better. Yeah, I tend to have arguement with hubs when all stress, frustration jumbled up.
ReplyDeleteSasha... u sure can do it!!!
