Temporarily Handicapped

Memang betul2 terasa handicapped. Bibik dah balik for good last wednesday. Maka dengan itu instead of lady of the house terpaksalah daku menjadi bibik of the house pula...sob..sob. Yang malangnya sang suami tidak simpati, kerana katanya bibik baru akan sampai tidak lama lagi and therefore a few days of labour would do me good. Arrrggghhhhh!!! Kebetulan dia pun balik lambat, so I can really relate to how tired you are at the end of a working day. Dia kata kalau tak larat tak payah la buat, but hey, serabut kepala otak aku kalau rumah bersepah. As if I could bear to see pinggan mangkuk tak berbasuh, stove berminyak, laundry tak berbasuh, toys bersepah?!

Seriously, I do not envy stay at home moms. Well I do actually if they get loads of pocket money! Kalau macam tu pun aku tak kesah. The thing is, no one really appreciates what goes on behind the scene. It is really back breaking work. I don't mind doing it actually but it is kind of hard bila kepala otak berserabut mengenangkan pending work at the office yang bertimbun and looming deadlines. And sebenarnya kalau kita sendiri yang buat kerja rumah, we tend to over do it. Kalau clean kena sqeaky clean. Bibik bukannya pay attention to detail sangat, but surprisingly masa bibik ada asalkan rumah was 'virtually' clean aku dah happy. Bila dia tak de ni, baru la nampak segala cacat cela sana sini. Tu yang patah pinggang.

I had to bring a 2+ year old boy to office yesterday and to a meeting.  Masa meeting puzzles bersepah atas meja, tengah2 meeting kena buatkan susu and lastly he fell asleep in my arms. Last2 I had to lie him on the table sebab berat. How? Nasib baik colleagues paham. I don't usually do these kind of things, selalunya cool and controlled perasan, so bila time2 macam ni agak la kekok di situ. I went to work in crocs! That really says something. Kalau tak kasut aku yang paling tinggi kot hehehe. In between that kena jadi chauffeur my daughter jugak to and from school because I had to run errands when the school van was supposed to pick her up. Nasib baik la hari ni tak kerja, thank god!

These past few days nak bukak blog pun x sempat, not even to blog hop. The only thing interesting yang sempat saya buat ialah start tengok Adamaya malam semalam hehehe. Sebab yang tu tak memerlukan otak untuk berpikir, thus the perfect thing to help me unwind at the end of the day. Hari ni bertekad nak buat satu entry sebab most of the house chores dah siap. Jap lagi lipat baju sambil continue Adamaya. Petang ni tak masak. Lauk semalam ada, lagipun the fridge is blardy empty! And don't get me started on what I am consuming nowadays people. Boleh jadi anxiety attack di situ. Padahal tinggal lagi seminggu je for the wedding. Dan padahal baru je admire my flat stomach minggu lepas, arrrrrggghhhh!!! Gosh, this is only day 3! Cepat lah datang wahai bibik baru!!!

Gambar kenangan bersama bibik the night before she left. I am so relieved and happy to report that Adam seems to be coping quite well. Tak nangis atau meragam dan main macam biasa. Dia tanya bibik dua kali je. Macam tu la anak mummy!
