45 minutes ago – I started to fiddle on the keyboard, typing the title and my mind was starting to compose what to write about. Little Ea begged for my attention, a special lie on the side kind of feeding. She’s sleepy and hungry. So this article had to wait.
3 hours ago – I logged in to my Work’s Admin panel and evaluated blogs and posts. I had to catch up with the number of registrations or else they’d pile up. But I had to pause and take my lunch, in the bed, with Ea on my lap. The lunch was cold, last night’s dinner left over. No helper today. Just me, Ea and my job.
This morning – cooked some sausages for a quick breakfast. I decided not to go to Pelaez. The clouds do not look so baby friendly. I might as well stay home and get going with the backlogs. And besides going out with a baby in tow can be very bulky. I can’t imagine myself sweating out, enjoying when the baby’s gonna ask for her food any minute from then. The downside of exclusive breastfeeding, I know.
Last night – I prepared for today’s sportsfest. The shirts, socks and all. I miss going out, running under the sun, chatting with friends and officemates again after being confined at home and not seeing them for weeks and weeks.
Last week – It’s scorching hot in the totally kalat house. Bingkai was downtown meeting Marmie. Jeedo was in the office. I was left with Ea and she was cranky because of an “increasing body temperature due to humidity”. Manual ventilation is just not enough. I was on the pC by the sala working on some excel files, templates and reports while she had to stay in the room where the fan is. I ran back and forth from the room to my desk. When my work hours was over, I stayed with her on the bed. She was crying. So was I. (A couple of days later, my husband bought an aircon. One problem solved)
Last month – Our middle aged helper begged off not to work with us anymore because of her swelling knee and an upcoming trip to her hometown. I was domestically handicapped. SEP campers were coming, I had work backlog, a baby to feed and a husband to care for (cooking, washing and entertaining). Bingkai came and volunteered to stay with me while yet looking for a helper. She was my extra hand.
Four months ago – I just gave birth to a beautiful baby girl. She was pretty, yes. But my body was going through some enormous changes. My clothes don’t fit me anymore. My hair was a mess. I felt huge and ugly and useless. I knew I had a job to do, a house to organize (we just moved in then), breakfast-lunch-dinner to cook, but where the heck is the trash bin and the broomstick?
One year ago – He proposed. The wedding was supposed to be by May the following year. A month later, we found I was pregnant so we had to speed things up. We had a wedding twice. Civil and church.
Two years ago – I had a career ahead of me. I was excited with the project I was given. I started blogging, earned and saved. Planning to go overseas. Or perhaps travel and see the world.
Tomorrow – Fathers’ Day.
Life does not always turn out as planned. Surprises come along the way. Some are exciting some are quite the opposite. But one thing is certain. Things will always fall into place. We may cry a bit but with love and confidence in the heart, the rewards are always fulfilling.
