👩👦Mommy’s Daily/ 10.31.2019
It has been five days since I was discharged from the hospital. It also means my days of exercising and lying on the bed idling away is over.
Back to reality.
Andrew was ecstatic that mommy was finally going home from the hospital, he chattered the whole day, nonstop; making up Avenger stories; telling me about the businesses that he had set up with his imaginary friend, Binky; and he told me his little monkey thought I was dead, because I was away for so long. He asked me to play with him 100% (meaning I can’t even talk to my hubby) like I promised him before I told him that I had to stay longer in the hospital for physiotherapy, so I can be stronger when I come home.
In less than two weeks, I have to arrange Andrew’s birthday party, go to school to be the classroom mom, plan our family trip, and a project that I am working on, hopefully it will be realized.
And when Mommy enters the house after staying away for more than a month, I know there will be TONS of things that need to be re-rearranged.
Don’t tell me to prioritize them! They all have URGENT, MUST-DO labeled on them. I can only leave the re-rearrangements for last.
All the while, Samuel is away for a short business trip, so I am on my own.
Oh, lying idly in the hospital was an overstatement. I had to prepare handcrafts for Daddy to bring to class for room-dad two weeks ago; contact and buy the things for the birthday party; plan my own room-mom handcrafts for the coming week, AND everything else mentioned above. At least, I could do them 100%, and focused when I was in the hospital.
Yet, I am nuts about Andrew’s smiles and laughs when we play together after school. It’s pure happiness and bliss for the both of us.
Although reality is overwhelming, for now with everything that’s going on, I am still up for it.
Carpe diem was just a phrase, but now it’s the way I seize every single day.
