B4 u get too excited… COO stands for Capacity Obfuscated Officer.
I’m bleeding. The dark circles around my once radiant n mesmerising (hahahahaha) eyes, hv now grown roots. Look into them n all u’ll see r shadows screaming, “I’m so tired, I wanna cry!” My once sexy (hahahaha again!) back is hunched fr persistent exhaustion n physical stress (I still can’t resist my 40pounders calling “mama, carry me..”).
In exactly 2 mths time, I hv to sit for my Marketing n Stragetic Planning papers. But I think, I’m gonna hv to defer SP; cos I bor lat (no energy).
My typical weekday routine is this: reach home by X.XXpm. Switch on d air purifier/aircond, put d kettle under d tap, do d laundry while d tap is running, come back put d kettle on, vacuum n wipe dust around d hse, pour d boiled water into d flask, take shower, go downstairs pick up kids fr sitters, do homework n play with them, hang d laundry while they play with toys, fold dried laundry, time for kids’ poo poo time, wipe pet pet, wash clean clean, wash baby bottles n water tumblers, make milk for kids, chg them into pyjamas, n put them to bed. Note: “put them to bed” is not like in movies where d parents say, "goodnite darling", switch off d lights n close d door behind ‘em. With David n Michael, I hv to lie down with them, let them hold each of my hands. I am not allowed to leave until they r asleep – which takes up to an hour. (I know I’m supposed to train them to sleep on their own, but nvrmind lah, I know for a fact that with boys, this clinginess won’t last for long. Truth is, I love feeling close to them too – while they still let me…)
So by d time, they’re asleep, it’s usually abt 10.30-11pm. I pick up my books, eyes staring at d loads n loads of words n diagrams……… but d brain oredy VERY DEAD. I read pages n pages. But ask me what I read, I go – “wha?!!”
The only times I can really absorb what I’m reading is when I come to d office in d wkends to do some intense data entry (fr book to brain), w/o any distractions. That oso, after I’ve bathed d kids, played with them, feed them lunch, n leave at jes abt their afternoon nap time. But my other problem is, d PC beside me, beckons like Pamela Anderson to d average guy, “chk me out, come”. And once I open up my email, up to a couple of hours of office related work ensues.
Distractions, distractions!
I need help!
Don’t ask me to get a maid, cos I hv no where to put her during wkdays when no one’s home. N there’s not that much of hsework i can delegate anyways. N maids oso cannot be used to help with the “Playing n bonding with kids” part too – most definitely.
Jes tell me, if u can… suggest what kind of supplements I shd take to help improve d efficiency, memory n alertness of my brain/mind. Or whatever smart tips u can offer…. I jes need d “boost” for another 8mths (when I finish all papers) – if I’m lucky.
Come, come. Fire away ur bright ideas! Help me! URGENT!!
