How Nice If Things Can Be Done At Home

Three mornings, I have been running errands outside the house and yet my TO DO check list is still so long and never ending. Maybe is because of month end that’s why I have got so much to do. How I wish I can do everything at the comfort of my own home without running around with two young kids, when come to outing with kids (except shopping), they can be such a burden and they doubled or even tripled the time to get the things done though they learn a thing or two during these outings. Especially for JS, she’s very inquisitive, she has got endless questions, but she also gets bored after certain duration. I can’t wait till weekends to do it with hubby, because most of the offices and banks do not operate on weekends. I can’t leave the kids at home with the maid while running errand outside by myself. Oooh… I hate this, but this is part of my job scope as a HOME MANAGER.

I hate driving down to town. It’s jam in town, parking space is rare and in opened space and worst the things cannot be done under one roof. So I have to go few places, make few rounds and turns to find a parking, walk to our destination, queue , wait …the process seems endless. Somemore the weather is so hot. The car will be like a hot oven, we have to walk under scorching hot sun. I don’t mind doing it by myself. But with the kids, I pity them. The sudden change of surrounding temperature, the repetition of air con office – hot outside open space – stuffy hot car – air con car makes them sick easily. They get cranky and tired very soon. JS is very fair and got a Japanese look, with these hot temperature, her face is blushing like a red tomato. Her cough has worsen, she has been vomitting since Monday night , coughed till face turn red. WH also haven’t really recover, I wish I could stay home and let them relax and rest instead of running about with me, but my errands can’t really wait, so they have to suffer along.

Just now on our way home ( we have been out for 4 hours) , WH got very cranky , he was hungry (is way past his lunch time) and he was also tired and sleepy, he was fussing in his car seat and JS was coughing badly at the back, face turned all red. To distract and calm them, I point out every passing cars , trucks, trailers to them, make up stories, they kept quiet instantly to listen to me. Good thing is that it wasn’t too far from home when they started fussing in the car.

Now I prefer shopping online, paying bills online. I wish I can do everything online and at home. But the fact is that some of the things we still need to go out and get it done.

Monday, after running errands, I found this traditional postnatal care center. I have wanted a traditional urut badly, so I went to check it out. The masseur was not around, but they said they offer home service, charges RM30, but i have forgotten to ask how long. Yesterday morning the masseur came over, but I have been CONNED! So lousy this massage, only less than 30 mins and cost me RM30 and I don’t even required to lie down for back massage, it’s not pleasant and enjoyable, my shoulder is still aching. This is real SHIT service in such a small town. When I was in PJ, the massage makcik that came to our house only charge RM40 for a 1 1/2hours service. This Malay masseur here thought I don’t know a thing in traditional massage and conned me. Real SHIT…not going to give her business anymore.
