Busy bee.. as always

Currently waiting for the hubby who is (I believe) screaming his lungs out, belting to the tunes of Greenday. Yes, the very same hubby, whom just minutes ago texted me, "feeling like a f&@$-ing 15 yr old!!!!!".

It's ok. He can have his fun cos I will have mine tomorrow. Bollywood, here I come!!! Say shava shava! Say shava shava! Can't wait! Can't wait!

What a way to end my hectic week. You won't believe how exhausted I've been (or still am)! All the admin work, lesson prep, committee responsibilities, the slowly but very scarily piling up marking. And the fact that somehow my lessons end very late this year, as late as 3.45pm! Mak oiii!!! And please, for those of you who ever dare think that a cher's work ends as soon as he/she finishes lesson, I'd come lunging at you with my red pen! That is an irritating misconception! Yes, we have a choice to go home right after lessons (at specified official school timing given by the ones above, that is).. but we rarely are ABLE to do so. There are CCA duties, committee issues, meet students for all kinds of reasons (counselling/detention/nagging sessions/remedials/supplementary classes), admin work, all sorts of forms to collate for the form class, prepare tomorrow's lessons. print endless copies of worksheets, mark all those work we regret giving, call parents, meetings, workshops, powerpoints, and I can go on and on and on.. The point is, I'm grateful if I can go home by 4pm.

And once home, it's work all over again. Housework, of course. Something I usually enjoy doing, but not when I've been working for the past 10 hours or so. I try not to do much work while Ryan is awake cos that's the only quality time I get to spend with him. But for the past 1 week, I fall asleep while trying to put him to sleep only to wake up at midnight .. and poofff... there goes my plan to catch up on some housework.

I've been given so many responsibilities, sitting in so many committees, i/c of so many programmes that I don't know whether to jump up and down in excitement or crawl under my desk and hide till 2010 ends.

Nevetheless, I sense that 2010 will be a good year for me, career-wise. I hope. Never have given much thought about my career, i guess, since my initial ambition was to be housewife. Hehe.. But having Ryan made me want to be the best that I can be. And being at a new place has been very motivating in some ways. I was really jaded at the old place, I guess. So, all's good now.

Well... tomorrow IS Friday. And I just LOVE weekends! It's my let loose time with my son, with my hubby, with my siblings, with my parents, with our friends. Ooooohh.. I miss my ibu and ayah so much sometimes it hurts. I sometimes wish that i still their little daughter and live the life I used to have. All 8 of us in that chaotic but fun (sometimes stressful) house. But, I have my own little family now. Better enjoy it before it's MY turn to have my kids grow and live their own lives... NOoooooooooooo!!

K, better ply Ryan off the tv set.
Good night, peeps.
Hang on! One more day to weekend. (Argh! Just remembered that I AM working this Sat!)
