Moments in My Life

You ever experience one of those days that doesn’t go your way?  Everything seems to be going AGAINST you?  Yup, today is that day for me. 

My day started really early this morning, at 6am.  I woke up but wasn’t able to go back to sleep.  I was sitting in front of my laptop till my son woke up at 8am.  He was fussing for his milk the moment he woke up.  *sigh* You have to learn to wait for the milk to warm up.

Then I washed two loads of laundry.  First load was my own clothing.  The weather is rather nice today, so I hung my clothing outdoor.  A second load was the blanket which I will be putting away.  It was hung outdoor on the line under the sun to dry.  I also hung my son’s cloth diaper inserts outdoor. It is unusually windy today so I used extra clips to make sure the items don’t go flying away. 

Later in the morning, when I went out to check the laundry, I saw empty line with hanging clips swaying about with the wind.  Where were my wet laundry?  On the ground.  *sigh*  Then I also noticed one of my WHITE tee shirt was on the ground too, laying next to the wall which was covered with spider web.  *double sigh*

I made the broccoli soup with pasta for my son.  After finished feeding him, I had my own udon noodle for lunch (from two nights ago).  I was sitting in front of my laptop which is on the dining table while I enjoying the bowl of hot noodle.  But my son was making a fuss because he wanted to see the YouTube with broken ceiling fan video.  I didn’t bother with him, and told him to sit down and watch his DVD quietly.  He started crying.  I ignored him and went back eating.  He cried more.  I told him to stop crying.  He didn’t.  His cries became screaming that he wanted to watch the video.  I tried to filter out the noise but it was too much by then.  I warned him that if he continue to scream, I would lock him inside the room.  After 10 minutes, he was still crying and screaming so into the room he went. 

After washing the dishes, I went inside to explain to him nicely why I put him inside the room.  He stopped crying but then started again.  *sigh* *sigh*  Anyway, to cut the long story a little shorter, I gave him his milk and then he fell asleep.

I came out to use the laptop and found the spacebar wasn’t working correctly.  I took out the button and saw much debris in it.  I went to take out the vacuum to clean it.  It didn’t occur to me there was a rubber plunger underneath it.  I knew it before as I cleaned it many times.  But the black rubber plunger got sucked into the vacuum.  I had to take out the bag and tried to find it by taking out all the dirt from the bag.  But it wasn’t there.  *sigh* *sigh* *sigh* 

What I did to replace the rubber plunger was to take out another rubber plunger from the F9 key (seldom use) and replace it onto the space bar button.  Now I have to find a replacement rubber plunger if possible for the F9. 

It is only 3:30pm now.  I wonder what else will come to me later today.  I do hope is something better than my whole morning.

EDIT: Later in the evening he pooped in his newly changed cloth pocket diaper without giving me any sign or signal.  *sigh sigh sigh sigh* On an regular day he would tell me to take him to the potty for #2.

Cooking is never easy. I don’t cook lunch. Instead, I eat the previous night’s leftover for lunch the next day. Sometimes it took me hours to come up what I should be cooking for dinner. Some days are easier and some days are not. It all depends what I have available in my refrigerator. 

So what I do when I am out of idea what to make for dinner?  The answer is …
