I hate NOVEMBER

It's a terrible November!

Hubby is having reservist the whole month and as a result it became a super busy and lousy month for me. The only good thing is my boss don't have issue for me to apply leave during this period except today becos of a stupid six sigma briefing that make me rush to office early morning!

For the first week of November, i took one whole week of leave. Every morning, i gotta wake up at the same timing then bring Adelle, Danelle and maid to my parent's house. The first week was super tiring cos Adelle refused to walk to the bus stop and insisted to be carried only. She is already 12kg and i have to carry her plus my milk pump and stuff! Can really break my bone. :( Despite I made several attempts to let her walk, she refused and just sat on the void deck floor then lied down there to protest. Then at my parent's place, i gotta look after the kids especially Adelle will cling to me whenever i am around. So i didnt have any time to do any work and I gotta sneak out during her nap time to head back home to clear office emails. Afterwhich, I got to rush back to my parent's place to pick up the kids and send them home. Once reached home, i gotta settle the kids to bed. By then it's already 11pm. Simply no time for myself to rest & dont have time to do other stuff loh. :(

Come the second week of November and third week of November, i took half day leave (AM) daily. Same thing as usual, i gotta bring the kids via bus to my parent's house. The only improvement is Adelle was agreeable to walk to the bus stop cos she gets to play at the playground while on our way to the bus stop. However, working half day makes me even more busy. Everyday after putting Adelle to nap, i gotta rush to office and then after work, I need to rush back to pick up the kids. Everyday rush here and there like mad woman! When will this end?!?!?!?! To add on to my 'pain', something frustrating happen! My maid (second maid) started to show "attitude" problem after being 2mths with us and of cos, my mum started to complain of the maid as well. My mum is simply pissed with whatever the maid do and everyday she sure got something to complain abt the maid. Then my mum told me to get the maid to cut her hair short cos the maid has been scratching her head lately which i did not noticed. Anyway, i informed the maid to cut short her hair at night and immediately told me that she don't want! I told her off that i will call agent to talk to her if she refused and she challenged me to call. So well, i called and after she talked to the agent, she hung up the phone, face super black and spilled some washing powder on the floor. The next day morning, my mum can't wait to send the maid to the hairdresser. When i told the maid let's go and cut hair, the stupid maid threw tantrums and say she doesn't want and that she has told agent she will tie her hair instead! Wah lau... She think she's the boss?!?!?!?! I was damn pissed and told her that if she want to continue to work for me, she got to cut her hair else i will send her back now. So she super unhappy, grumble abt she dont have day-off, don't have this don't have that and drag her feet to the hairdresser. Anyway that is just part of the story of her "tantrums". Another occassion happened on a sunday when we send Adelle for her zoophonics class @ Tampines Mart. Every sunday, the maid will follow hubby to Shop & Save while wait for us to finish the class. However on that sunday, the maid told us that Danelle is sleeping when we reached Tampines Mart and she want to stay in the car to accompany Danelle. So i told hubby to manage her accordingly. Who knows after the class ended, hubby was furious and told me that the maid was sleeping inside the car for 1.5hrs. She refused to get off the car and give the reason that Danelle is still sleeping. Then during lunch time, she claimed that she is having headache as the night before she slept at 12.30am simply becos she took her own sweet time to wash the kids clothes and then enjoy her biscuits before she goes to bed. Terrible attitude fellow! Anyway, my mum and the maid are both testing my patience. I have told my mum that if she continues to complain abt the maid for the trivial matters and she find the maid an eyesore, i will fire the maid and then i quit my job and be a SAHM. I will send Adelle to day time childcare centre while i take care of Danelle at home. I have enough of the complaints and nuisance that my mum & maid are creatingl. Why humans like to create problem for other people?
