I got my wish. I have some me-time today.
As I was rushing to get Gibran, his lunch and myself ready (so that I could drop Gib and the maid off at my parents' house), Sister suddenly showed up at my doorstep. Since she had to wait for Sarah to finish school at 1 p.m., it was unnecessary for me to drive all the way to KD when she could just take Gibran along with her when she headed home after fetching Sarah. So I made us some instant noodles for lunch, sat and had lunch while gossiping and "menambah dosa" (when our gossip sessions touch on other people's life, we dub it as "tambah dosa" session.. dosa lah talk about people, right? Hehe..)... while a jolly Gibran went around the house showing his Mama Long some cheeky antics involving climbings and jumpings.
Then at 1 p.m., in they went into Mama's car after an elaborate salam-and-kiss session with Mummy. Gibran was really excited at the prospect of spending the afternoon at Atuk / Mama Long's house, that he was grinning all the time while waving continuously to Mummy.
And then the house was (is) quiet. And I have no idea what to do now. I've got an hour to go before I have to leave for class.
Bake a cake for SIL#2's birthday? Too late. An hour won't cut it because I'd have to leave when it's in the oven.
Wax my eyebrows? Nah.. too messy and I'd get to class with redness on my face.
Do some sewing for the Ikea cushion covers which are falling apart? Nah. Too detailed. I'd get to class with fuzzy eyes tired from stitching.
So.. I'll just surf the net and see if I could find more recipes to add to my mountain of untried recipes.
And in the meantime, I'll also try to feel normal about having a house that is so darn quiet. No curly-head crawling underneath the dining table and muttering away in his own world of pretend-play while I blog. No interruptions every 5 minutes to ask; "Mummy buat apa tu? Nak tengok!", or demands of; "Nak yak-yak, Mummy!". No Playhouse Disney playing on the TV continuously and wails of; "Taknak citer niiii... nak Barneyyyy....".
That's why people always say to be careful of what your wish for. Because at times when you get your wish, you wouldn't even know what to do with it!
Sheesh.. yes, I am one conflicted momma.
Anyway!!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO SIL#2! Be seeing you later tonight!

Yes..yes..I totally agree when you are left alone, you really have no idea what to do...hehehe...human are funny...
Sometimes i feel that way too. So ever willing to send him off to grandma's and then I find the whole house so quiet. And then I sleep .. till its time to pick him up again .. else no chance.
Haha i so understand what you mean, sometimes when i get a few hours for myself I also don't know how to best utilise them!
OMG I can sooooo relate!
Once I had griped about not getting much me-time and then one day, after a particularly bitchy gripe session, my darling husband gave me my wish and whisked Mikhail off for an outing, leaving me home alone.
And boy was I bored.
I hv a lil worm that crawls under the dining table where I use the laptop too. LOL When u get some unexpected ME-time, u don't know wat to do with it. How nice if it's transferable. hehehe
ibuhaziq; the first 20 minutes is the best! lepas tu... heyy, when r they coming back...? :p
mummy darren; this time i'm the student ;) it's a weekly class i'm attending.
family first; how true! sleep is always a great option! heheh. i do that everytime we're at my dad's house. leave him playing with his cousins and i go sleep!
hetz; thats why me-times should be planned ahead! hehehe.. in an ideal world la kannn...
maverix; hah! sama lahhh tu
slavemom; u always say things right on the spot! i do wish me-times are transferable. hehehe
same here. i also can't think of what's the best to do when my boys are out and me home alone. usually ended up surfing or watching my favorite soap. oh yes, i love soap opera's ^_^
Hahahaha.. I so know what you mean! Sometimes when the house is too quiet (Irfan's out with my parents or with Irwan), I'll be staring into space - stoned - not knowing what to do. Ish. We are one conflicted mommies!
