It's just been hellish rushing around, chauffeuring, shopping, cooking, errands..
It was particularly crazy on Tuesday. Early morning, I rushed the kids to wash up and brought them out for a quick breakfast. Then, I got caught in the early morning rush hour traffic, miles away to a school to send meimei for her gym's exam's practice. Then I came back near home to send the boys to their classes, and off to my yoga class. Well, at least, I had my 1 hour of "me" time to relax and stretch.
After the 1 hour good sweating, I went home to grab some stuffs I totally forgotten I should have taken with me. After which, I went to the post office to run an errand. While Q-ing, the phone rang and a friend told me that she had already picked her daughter up from that school (same practice as meimei's), darn!
Quickly, I sped off to those another hundred miles away to collect her, while worrying for her all the way. I managed to call the teacher and she told me, that's ok, there are still many people around there, and she was still around to continue with the older girls.
Halfway, the phone rang and it was meimei. She called me from a friend's mom's phone and said that she was waiting for me and that she could go home already. I felt so relieved hearing her voice, and I told her I was on the way and that she should not walk out to anywhere by herself. God! How grateful I felt hearing she's ok!
After taking her safely with me (not that it was unsafe, but for a 7yo girl to be on her own, even though there were many other parents and little children around, in an unfamiliar place, it still sounds pretty scary to me) I went off to collect the boys again. Initially I wanted to take the boys first and then only to pick the girl up, but the phone call had changed my plans. It was better to leave the boys in a locked room with their teacher.
We then had our late lunch at 2pm, then we went off again to the same post office that I was supposed to be at, to post an all important letter. After it was done, *whew, that was another task ticked off the list*, we went to the library to return the books which were overdue. Paid the fine and borrowed some new books again, then off to the groceries store.
I promised the kids I would be getting some vegies only, and they knew if I had stopped to buy the fish, it would take a long time, waiting for the fish to be cut and cleaned. I took a tub of ice-cream home, for pampering myself and the kids later on. I so needed that!!
After paid and lugged all the bags to the car, I went to see hubs' aunt to collect something, and man! she kept on and on and on, ranting, talking, complaining to me. By the time we got home, the ice-cream almost melted. Eh? Another case of melted ice-cream?
And so, that was my crazy fun filled day. The rest of the days, I don't need to mention, it was running around too, either for this or for that.
