Today

It has been a long time, since I felt a quiet contentment. I felt it today.

Just being stres- free and weightless in a sense. I baked a batch of choc chip cookies in the morning. Took the boys for their swim. Had lunch at a crowded shopping mall. I had super duper spicy beef vindaloo and chicken madras, served with briyani rice. Oh..yea, punishment for my tummy. In the afternoon, had a blast multitasking, and baked 24 mini cupcakes for No.2′s birthday celebration. No.3 stole 2, and I had to stop him before he ate it all.

After we sang the birthday song, we all went out for dinner. Yes..it was a day where I did not have to cook. And, it has been a long time, since that happened. Even during dinner, I felt really contented. Of course, I pre-emptied the stress by feeding No.3 prior to going out. I think that helps alot. He just sat there demanding for chips, which ain’t too bad, because I already knew he had a good meal.

Yes, folks. Mr.T is in town. And..he really helps relieve this stress. In fact, he was so sweet this round, buying me a new hamburger purse, 2 books (1 of which is in Japanese, and frustrated me to no end, because it had so many pretty pictures..but I had no idea what it was all about), and giving me one of his old ipods touch. Yes, now I have something that will pre-occupy my time, while I am ‘free’. I think I’ll play boggle on it.

The boys? They are so happy to see him. But, No.1 asked me yesterday, when papa will be leaving. Sigh….he is already preparing for the departure. No.2 was upset that his father was thinking of leaving already.

What else can I say? Just enjoy the time we have with him right now… and pray that his contract would not be renewed.
