Suddenly so Free
Since losing my job and before starting a new one, I have been busier than I imagined, doing the housewife thingy. BTW, Lilian wrote an interesting post about how scary housewife sounds, which I have to agree fully especially being in this for a couple of months now.
Everyday apart from working on my computer (though losing my job, but still employed by the company at the moment, waiting for my last day), with very little ‘work’ to do, I have to do those typical housewifey thingy: sending and picking the kids, meeting their teachers, marketing, cooking, liasing with plumbers/electricians/contractors, paying bills, etc. All fall on my shoulders now – used to be split between DH and me!
I sort of enjoy it for the moment, given that it gives me chance to teach/discipline my kids the way I want, especially the eating habits. But it also means that I am so busy – can’t imagine the housewifey thing is so leceh. I am not good at cooking, so cooking a meal takes a lot of my time. Even cutting vegetables would take half an hour. Hahahaha!
Anyway, today I am suddenly so free. MIL cooks today, maid is with her now, and mom will help fetch Isabel at noon and send her to MIL. All because I have a contractor coming over to tint the glass.
So, today, I will sit in front of my computer, staring at the screen waiting for office email to come (hardly), waiting for contractor to come, and waiting to fetch Ian in the evening. Maybe cook instant noodle for lunch.
Maybe I should go cycling after contractor leaves the house. Been skipping all my exercises for a loooooong time already! One word – LAZY.
ahhh.. time to put a cool cucumber over ur eyes and just relax for a minute there! i have not been able to have cucumbers on my eyes for a very long time now! suddenly instant noodles sounds so delicious.. hahhaha..
Merryn: hahaha! Ya, should have done that. But I surfed the web instead. Stressed myself up. :p
Don’t use the word housewife, say homemaker :p
