Not Everyday is My Day

Early in the morning, my daughter- Nabila seems having a bad mood. She didn’t want to go to school. When asked why, she just said that she doesn’t want to go, that’s all. After 1 hour talking to her, I ended up letting her to stay at home. So I just sent Nadira to school n straight to my club.

I had never been so early to the club like today, I reached there at 7.15am. I normally go there at 7.50am. Today I finished at 8.15am. How I wish I can go earlier everyday. It’s so nice as there r not so many people at that time. I can even be home early n catch up with my house chores.

Nabila is still not in a good mood as she used to be when I got home. When I checked on her, she’s having a flu n mild fever. And u know what she told me – “see mommy, I told u.. that’s why I don’t have to go to school. I’m not feeling very well”. Hmm… she had a valid reason there..

Since I didn’t have to fetch Nabila at 12.30pm as usual, I decided to make a cake (kek lapis Sarawak) – kid’s favourite. Nurul n Iman were so excited to be involved in the whole process. So I let them run the show with a minimal guidance from me. Guess what? The cake didn’t turned up as what it’s supposed to be.

This was the first time I encountered this. I wonder what was wrong. Could it be they put the wrong measurement or maybe they had been stirring the mixture too long? I was so frustrated n not to mention both of them too, who were so eager to eat the cake. Actually I had already sensed something was not right from the first layer that we baked. But I just kept going on hoping that it will be fine.

Finally after the 5th layer, I decided to stop n threw everything in the bin. What a waste! Then I made them an apple pie. I told them, the next time let Mommy do it. You girls just eat.

This whole day, Nabila was so obsessed with her tent that she got for her birthday present. She eats her lunch in the tent n even sleeps in there. Initially the tent was in the living room on a bare cold floor. In order to avoid her sleeping on the cold floor, I had to transfer it to my room. Put it on the mattress.

And tonight she sounds asleep in her tent. Like a fairies. Hopefully when she wakes up tomorrow, she’ll be happy n cheerful.
