Rested and Rejuvinated

Well, good morning!  It's been a good day so far.  The Gooey Babes are still in deep slumber.  You see Friday night is their stay up late to watch and play night.  They are keeping the King's tradition growing up.  They always look forward to Fridays and if I ever ground them  this is one of the things they don't want me to take away.  =)  Anyway...I was so tired last night that after the party I just wanted to crash and go "moi-moi".   The King is  in much pain.  (same pains for the last...oh idk....along time.)  Offered to massage the King.

King:   "no, you're tired."  Well,  it's 9:37 am Warrior 3 is up.  Ooooooo and Princess just woke up.  Me:   I can message!   King:  What,  all 12 seconds?    They are hungry.  I'll make peanut butter-and  banana smoothie.  yummy!   9:52 am.  I'm drinking and typing with one hand right now.   Hey i type pretty fast with just one ima.  (hand)  Okay, back to the conversation.

 

Me:  Not!   I can ...20 minutes!   So,  I proceeded.   Masaje.   Sige masaje.  Masaje dayta.  Masaje with eyes open.   Masaje with my eyes closed.  MASAJE really hard.   Masaje really soft.   Masaje.  Masaje -n- masaje some more until my fingers were lactic acid laden. Switch!   Masaje with my fist.  Masaje  with my forearm.  Masaje  with my elbow.  I was slowing down.  That felt like 30 minutes.  I thought I heard the King snore.  Good he is asleep.   So, I slowly backed away...slithered my way to my side of the bed.  I couldn't scoot myself up and lift my head to put on my pillow....I'm dead tired from staying until 3am the night before...shut my eyes (I don't know for how long)  and heard the King moaning and groaning from  pain.   So, I sat up tried to massage but was too tired.  The King sensed that there was no "umph!" in my hands....so he was nice to let me go to sleep.   Just like my cell phone.  I was running on low bat,  and soon that low bat finally went DEAD BAT!!!  

Woke up at 6 this morning.... King is still in pain.  Started to massage him and the incident from last night's massage came up and he said that I  just massaged him for 2 minutes!  What? Not!  The King is funny.  I know I massaged him longer than that.

 Warrior 2 is up.  It's now 10:27 am.     Eat  and then do chores!  

So, this is what happened the rest of  today.   (Saturday 8/3/08)    Oh, did I mention that I went to Aunty Z's class---man those stability balls are light but holding them between my legs made my inner thighs burn.  Saw Aunty Raine there as well.    I'll continue later.

Okay it's later.  I took a nap.....we ate, wrapped more lumpia,  did chores--dishes, bathroom, laundry, trash, put the rest of the junk from the food fest in the garage and organized the garage  and last but not least....I finally washed the van!  Yey!  It's clean!   Dinner Time!  Aaaahhhhh!!!   What to cook?

I'm back again.  The Gooey Babes  didn't get to *play.  Well, that's because they chose to play around when they were supposed to be doing their chores.  Same chores every Saturday....doesn't change and yet they still have to be told to do this and this and that.  Hellurh!  The King  comes home and asks the kids, "did you *play?"  The anwser of course is a no.  The King was like "wow, mommy just makes you work and doesn't let you play."  Hellow!  I couldn't let them.  They didn't finish their chores.  They were too busy playing around with each other.  Folding the laundry...instead of folding they start throwing the little things at each other.   Underwear found in places where there shouldn't be any underwear!   Oh, what a beautiful sight.  NOT!

 I ask Warrior 2 to wash the dishes...he responds...."I can not.  There is a greasy bowl in there."  WHAT?!  Are you serious?   I'm mad.  That's it!  Sutil nga primero ni Warrior 2, man.  Then when he was done scrubbing he was like "okay, Warrior 3 can rinse."  Dude!  Finish it!    That's Warrior 2's concept of DIVISION OF LABOR.   

Why is it that when the King calls the Gooey Babes come running like there's fire in their pants.  When I call...I have to raise my voice and  call them several times before I get their attention.  It's not fair.

Well, this is us.  We are not a perfect family.  We are all learning as we are going.    It's a process.   Lucky, I'm rested and rejuvinated.  Was able to cope today's excitement.   

Relax and surrender.   Inhale through the nose and  exhale through the nose.   G'day.
