Have been going mad off late what with work and family issues and the biggest problem of all....'my being a perfectionist!!!!'
I need to have my house in order... I need to have my tea served to me in my Tea service...I need to have the plants rotated....I need to have the bed linen changed every week even if it hasn't been slept on.... I need to plan the daily menus... I need to clean out and rotate Joy'c closet every two weeks....I need to pack The husband's bag everytime he goes on tour.... I need to keep up with all my relatives and friends....I need to make fresh fruit juice every morning....
I know.. I sound like a freak....but that's the way I am.... and all I have written is just on the home front.... you should see me at work.....
One day a friend came upto me and commented... "I wonder how you are still sane?.... ?
That got me thinking..... 'Am I really insane?.....Am Ion the verge of a nervous break down...? If yes.. then I have no one to blame but myself...."
It's not that I don't delegate..... I do..... but if things are not done the way I want them to be done... It irritates me no end..... so I usually hang around to supervise.....
One person.... who completely throws me off balance... is a two foot... little tornado........
He just stands in front of me with his hands on his hips...( wonder where he learnt that!) and says ," Naaaaa!"....then if I glare at him.... he folds his chubby little arms in front of him ...thrusts his little red lips into a pout... and walks away in a huff...looking for sympathy elsewhere in the house..... nowadays there are lots of people to give him sympathy....
Looking at him... one day the husband... mentioned... that he wished he had could also act like his son... when I acted like Hitler at home...but I do know... that everything aside.. he quite likes the way his household functions... he is quite proud when people compliment him on the way we entertain....and the house looks....he actually agrees with my 'fundas' of discipline....
We have a clear understanding..... He doesn't interfere with the everyday functioning of the household......and we don't talk shop at home......
accha... this post isn't really a post... its just letting off some steam.. and some erratic thoughts... no sense... I just re read what I have written.. and its rubbish....
so I think I am going to change the title of this ... to rubbish ranting.....
Will write another post tomorrow about Joy and his Abudi,..... as well as Joy and his talking 120 to the dozen....and a few more thought out posts.... that are more meaningful...
