I forgot to blog today. I know I have a few tags lying around. I know I can do those but I want to give them the time and energy required. Its the end of the my daily blogging. Tomorrow evening, NK gets back.
Its been an interesting 4.5 weeks. I thought the first few days, I was going to drown in my own tears. I didnt want to do anything but cry the day he left. Maybe if I didnt have kids, I could thrown myself filmy style onto the bed with my long hair over the pillows,sobbing my heart out. But because I have 4 monsters, one isnt allowed to lie on bed until one is dead.The youngest child’s scream is in fact able to awaken even the dead.
The kids were on time for all school activities. I actually went out more than I would have, had Nk been here. I did the dinner with the moms and the movie night out. I had actually said NO to the movie event when my friends had asked me earlier.And this was when NK was still around. Since I am hugely popular, I get invitations to quite a few things so I pick one event to go to once a month. I tend to feel guilty, leaving him to deal with the kids alone. So one event is all I do.
Even though I missed NK insanely, I had my routine down. I made chai after I dropped the older 3 kids in the morning, so that they wouldnt be late. I read till 11-12p/m because he wasnt there,saying light baand kardo. I speak to friends on the phone after the kids went to bed because he wasnt there gesturing that I should hang up after 10 20 30 mins of talking. I didnt get upset that the house wasnt clean.Because there was no one else to clean, I either did it or lived with the mess. I didnt get upset that he was sleeping in on a beautiful Sat morning when we all could have gone to the beach. I did what the kids and I wanted and life went on smoothly.
Now he is back and the bumps will be back.Kidding!
Gah! Hubbies, can’t live peacefully with ‘em, definitely get bugged living without them! Yenjoy!
Btw, you also couldn’t fling your long hair over the pillows…it’s short
wow ! Great !!
Will have to go and read the previous posts to find out where did NK go
Lots of presents coming for you tomorrow I suppose !
I knew it. I also think Husbands actually cramp our style. But then there’s only so long we can go without the sex nah?
Me: Its all about the sex.
And now here’s an idea, why not keep the babysitter so you can STILL go to events, this time with Nk once he’s back? And it’s plain silly to feel bad to leave the kids with him, he leaves them with you all the time!
Me: Yes, we are going to continue with the sitter. I will be sad when she starts her spring college semester. But we are going out for dinner on Friday, a neighbour is watching the kids. Its our wedding anniv. And Dec 12, we are getting the sitter and going out with some friends as well.
Me: I dont have topics to blog. Since i did non stop blogging, I want to see now whether I can stay away from blogs(both reading and writing) for a bit.
How practical sraik..loved reading the 3rd and 4th para, so true! the way you handled the situation, just amazing and got so much done too! As always totally inspired by you super mum:)!
You are amazing. I would have thrown myself onto the bed 5 days in.
BUMPS! Thats what the kids are calling it these days eh? Time for Aunty to update the vocab.
You ROCKED the past few weeks girl. Go S!!
You were great these 4 weeks S! I cant imagine handling all that you handle on a daily basis !!!
Btw,
“Maybe if I didnt have kids, I could thrown myself filmy style onto the bed with my long hair over the pillows,sobbing my heart out.”
Me: Oye, its my dream, and I get to have long hair.
Long Hair ????
Couldn’t agree more with your thoughts truly. You can’t live with them or without them husbands.You so deserve every moment you get for yourself. You go girl. Enjoy the VS shopping for hubby
Me:
