I must have got down from the wrong side of the bed this morning !
Had an early morning meeting with my personal client, meaning lots of homework to do now + additional deadline to meet, not that I am complaning though :-) Money... money money money, I love money ... ha ha ha ... can hear my money jingle playing in my head !
Before official office hours start, I received a call from my boy, using his headmistress' handphone, crying away telling me that his teacher caned him for not bringing his book to school and pleaded with me : Please mummy, can you bring me that Mandarin textbook? Teacher is very angry with me ... sob sob sob ...
So, I had to call my boss to let him know I'll be late ... went back home, cannot find his book. Called the headmistress, she's at a meeting. Called the class teacher, no answer. Arrggghhhh .... okay, told myself : Girl, calm down, calm down, count from 1 to 10, then 10 to 1 ... ha ha ... now as I am writing this down, I am laughing at myself again ! Alas, found it in the girls' room instead. Too late... better let my boy get some positive stress for his own good. Anyway, later the teacher called and explained why he punished my boy .... that despite one whole week of warning, my boy kept forgetting to bring his book to school. Shared with the teacher that my boy comes from a family that hugs a lot. Punishment is rare. I acknowledged the teacher's point and thank him for caring enough to bring this to my attention.... phew !
Still remember back in my primary school days, I used to forget to bring my English textbook to school. Had to kneel down in front of the headmistress' office during recess ! At least I had company, 2 other girls were with me, facing the same 'sentence'. That went on for nearly one whole week before I finally learnt my lesson ! The more I am frightened, the more I tend to forget ! Ha ha ... those were the days.
Looks like I have to do something. Looking at my own office desk, hmmm... no wonder my boy's desk is also messy. Time for some 'spring cleaning' this weekend, oh boy ! Ok lah, gotta lead by example I guess :-) Things do happen for a reason, don't they ?
