Today is one of the toughest days in recent memory. Mae is down and out with something - probably the flu, and I'm left to hold the fort. I do all the night feeds. I wash all the bottles. I wash the kid. I wipe his ass. I dress him. Thankfully, Mae's mom agrees to take Jesse for the day. That gives Mae a little peace and quiet to recuperate and I needn't have to take a day off.
Work was crazy. Deadlines. Meetings. Decisions. And I was fighting to keep awake all day long.
Lunch was dismal. To console myself, I bought a little dessert in the form of Penang-style Rojak Buah with extra Keropok. Didn't help one bit. In fact it only managed to cheese me off further. Heh! Boggles the mind how anyone can screw-up Rojak Buah! *sigh*
After work, I had to pick up Jesse through some pretty bad traffic. I get home at half past eight. Bo Bice had already done his thing. I get Mae dinner and it smells heavenly. Unfortunately, I didn't get enough for myself. And so I end up eating instant noodles.
Fortunately it wasn't all bad. Mamee Super Shiok Mi Rebus was pretty good. American Idol had a re-run at 11:30pm. And most importantly, the kid was an angel this morning.
"Son, it's just you and me today so go easy on Daddy, okay?" He understands. This morning he sat in his car seat and never made so much as a peep. To further demonstrate his compassion towards his poor daddy, he even falls asleep along the way.Hallelujah!!!
Thank God for small miracles. Good sleep tonight would be considered a miracle. Here's hoping...
Father and son bond huh...He could read your minds. :) This is awesome. Jesse is just so understanding. :)
ReplyDeletePoor James. Hope Mae recovers soon. Meantime, enjoy your father son bonding time!

ReplyDeleteAnd hope Mae gets better soon. Give her more TLC lahh...cook chicken porridge for her or something?
Yeah Jason, surprisingly, despite his age these days he seems to have a grasp on the things we tell him. :)
ReplyDeleteWiping ass isn't exactly my idea of bonding, Mumsgather, but thanks anyway! :lol:
I guess hubbies will have to take good care not to let their wives get sick if they know what's good for them, Ariel!!! :lol:
Nah BabeKL, today I took back the brownie point! Heh!
Sure Papi, except the times when he cries like a crazed lunatic. Those times he usually closes his eyes.
:lol: Hazel. Pray it never happens.
I told her, and all her germs too Jotay! :lol:
