Here I am, 6:30am, totally awake & shopping online with Ms J at US. Shopping online is a torture really. You can see but you can't touch, you can't try. Especially also when there is an exchange rate to take note of. Best part, you simply just have to have faith in the friend buying it on your behalf.
Did overnight duty last night. Tucked 3 little ones in & found myself having to settle a spat in the other room. Finally, found my way to my fold-able bed in the 3rd room & had slight problems getting them to sleep. They were talking, blabbering, teasing & laughing. Two hours lying on VERY soft spring bed, staring at the ceiling & I still can't get to sleep. Bed too soft, back too aching. The kids somehow keep having the need to go to the toilet.
Woke up at 5:30am to get 6 kids up & about to go for the Run for Love Carnival organized by Adidas. Colleague came at 6:30am to pick them up & now, I am left with 5 little kids. Helped 3 to bathe & got all 5 to have their breakfast with much pain. Finally got them to clear the mess in the kitchen, clean their room, do their laundry & sat them down for cartoon - Mickey Mouse!! Thank God I bought some cartoons & left it in my office! Well, only 3 really like to watch cartoons. 2 went to play "bluff-bluff". Barely afternoon & I am feeling really really absolutely sleepy already. Basking in this moment of being alone in the office with no kids for awhile before I even think of lunch. I wonder if that's how it's like being a mummy.
Yesterday, I had a parent who was complaining how expensive things are getting. We are beginning to see a rise in the prices at supermarkets, food centres & things in general. It's like the rise of 2% in GST started in July but the full blown effect is like now. It's been not easy with things increasing & wages maintaining at the same rate.
