My Diary

I woke up tired this morning.  It took me all of my will power to make the short trip to the bathroom to brush my teeth and get ready for work.  I walked back to bed where my husband was lying down.

“Babe, I woke up and I didn’t see you.”

“Yeah, I had to use the bathroom.”

“Ok,” he said as he rolled over to give me a kiss on my cheeks.

“Ouch!” I yelped. “There’s stubble on your cheeks.”

“Sorry,” my hubby said as I got out of bed.

Yumyum was wide-awake.  She was an early riser, just like me. She held out her arms for a hug and cried, “Mummy!” when she saw me. I gave her a hug and a kiss before leading her to the bathroom to bathe and get dressed for preschool.

Once done, I went to the kitchen to get our food packs from the fridge to take to work.  I checked the time. Damn, I was running late.  I grabbed my coat and handbag and headed out of the door to my office.

I had a lot on my plate this morning. Y’all know I’m a test lead, right? Anyway, there was a lot of work for me to do and I almost threw up my hands in exasperation when I saw just how much I had to accomplish in the working hours allotted to me, if I didn’t want to stay overtime. I ticked off items on my to-do list as they were done. One, two, three… not bad at all.  It seems as if I would be able to finish everything I set out to do today before the close of work.  Very good.  I sent a text message to my hubby telling him just how much I missed him and how I hoped he would get back home on time to read Yumyum a bedtime story.  I figured that was a good way for him to bond with her.

I got home on time and decided to rest for a bit before entering the kitchen to cook dinner for my little family. I turned on the television set and listened to the news before I flicked it off.  Bad news everywhere, definitely not good for my psyche. I entered the kitchen and began to peel Irish potatoes for dinner. Just then, my hubby walked in through the door. Hey love! What are you preparing now? Irish potatoes, I said.  Sounds good.

Till next time folks!
