tired mommy

There should be a new car sign made - instead of the usual cheery cutesy "Baby on board" or "Child on board", there should be a more honest "Exhausted mother on board so piss off!"

Amani comes with me every morning as I drop her off at the nursery before I go into work and every morning we have to listen to the same CD or more specifically the same song on the same CD over and over again. I've made my peace with this as most of the time it calms her down. This morning was not one of those days. Semua benda tak kena for her this morning, the way her car seat strap felt, the way the sun dare shine one of its rays onto her face, the way her teddy bear refused to sit properly, everythinglah and to top it off her mother had the audacity to try and drive safely instead of keeping both hands off the steering wheel and clapping non-stop to her favourite song. It was a loooooong drive to Damansara from Cheras this morning and of course as soon as she had reached the nursery she was back to her cheerful self and waved me goodbye with a flying kiss. Why do you always save your meltdowns for me little girl?
