This year Year-End Holiday is the busiest ever. I have not have time to feel bored yet. So, what exactly am I busy with?
The school term ends on the 21st Nov
2014. Hubby went to PJ to attend the BOM
interview that day itself. He did not
stay overnight as the next day he needed to go to Port Dickson for TRAC
Conference. The kids were with me all
day long. I even brought them to DG in
the evening. Both hubby and I thought he
would be back by 8pm as his interview was scheduled at 4pm. But hubby only managed to come back around
9:30pm. Having kids with me at DG is no
joke. My attention was constantly
drifted away to their whereabouts and trying to minimise their distraction to
the group. It was very tiring and I was
exhausted by the time hubby brought them home.
Saturday is always a busy day for me. As a personal driver for my daughter, I drive
her to ballet class and then art class.
After that, went for worship practise with my two kids. I felt so terrible when I found Erwyn crying
in the Baby Room while I was having tambourine practise with the girls. I guess sometimes I forget how young my
little boy is. The tiredness carried
forward and the day ended with me ironing clothes at midnight.
My internal clock was calling but I was so hoping
for another few minutes to lay on my comfortable bed. It’s Sunday but I was not very excited about
it. Having hubby away for the last two
days drove me up to the wall. Yes, I do
appreciate hubby’s effort of taking care of the children whenever he is able
to. It does matter to me as a
stay-at-home-mom. I enjoy showering the
most coz that’s the only place at home where I am alone and children could
not reach me. Don’t get me wrong. I love my children. They are very precious to me. But there are times I treasure my ‘me’
moment. This is especially true for introverts.
Sunday morning is all about church. Prepare food for the children to eat at
church, get them ready for church, and finally go to church. After lunch, time to do some packing as we
would be going to PD the next day to attend the Ordination Service. This year hubby was ordained as an elder and
my FIL has expressed his desire to witness this special moment. As for me, honestly, I was not the least keen
to be there. Probably that was due to
the previous experience I had in TRAC Conference.
It was hubby’s first year as a pastor in TRAC. I
followed hubby there because one of my best friends is staying in that state
and I had not met her for years. I was
at the end of my first trimester of pregnancy and my girl was about 2 years
old. I was still suffering from all the
morning sickness. Hubby was busy as a
recording secretary and I was left handling my girl all alone all day
long, stuck in the hotel with no where to
go. The most I could do was to put my
girl in the stroller and pushed her around the hotel for a stroll. My dear friend was so kind to ‘da bao’ food
for me the first night and brought me out for a cup of tea the second day. However, since then I determined in my heart never to attend TRAC conference as I find the conference not very children friendly. Well, what do I expect? It's a business meeting after all.
