The “Joys” of Motherhood.. *sigh*
Heyya…
I don’t really know why, but lately i’ve been feeling terribly worn out. I can barely keep my eyes open in the office, I drive to and from work in a daze (which is quite dangerous but I just cant help it!), my body aches and my head feels like i’ve been doing cartwheels all day. Last night, I practically passed out from exhaustion at 11pm, and I haven’t put away Deena’s bottles and ironed out my clothes yet! It’s a miracle that I could wake up at around midnight to feed Deena… and even that I did in my sleep. What is wrong with me???
So this morning was a complete chaos. Even though I woke up 15 minutes earlier than usual, I still had to finish off all the leftover chores I didn’t complete yesterday. Luckily I got a spare blouse that didnt need ironing so that sped things up abit. After feeding Deena I got ready for work. Deena started to wail, so I had to lug her around while I got my bags ready to leave (my laptop bag, my breastpump bag AND Deena’s baby bag).. when all of a sudden I realized… Deena had barfed over half of my clean no-need-to-iron blouse. Arrghhh!!! And its already 8.30! I started to freak out, but somehow or the other, I managed to put Deena gently down, dash for the cupboard and start mucking around for a new no-ironing-needed substitute — without screaming or losing my temper! I have to say I’m pretty proud of myself, as most of you who knew me would be too, coz I’m known for my short temper. Despite the rush, the panic and the frustration, I managed to keep my wits together and solve the problem faster than if I had lost it. Hurrah for me!
That said, I was still an extra 15 minutes late for work, and I’m still exhausted. I can still barely keep my eyes open, and its not for lack of trying. I had a relatively light breakfast, walked around as much as I could (without drawing too much attention) and I even made a vitamin C drink to perk me up (am trying to avoid taking coffee unless I really have to). So far, only the drink and writing this blog seem to be mildly working. Thank God tomorrow’s Friday, and I’m a day closer to my much awaited Mothers’ Day treat (courtesy of hubby dearest) huhu. What would that be, u may ask? All in good time my pretties… Just look out for my post-mothers’ day entry! Till then, ciao!
