Meescha, Kristen and Monday



"I am tired mum, please let me continue sleeping" and she further her action by pulling up the blanket even though I have switched off the air conditioner. "It's already 8.30 Meescha, Kristen will be late for school, she will miss her reading subject". But she has already doze off again. Nevermind let her sleep for 5 more minutes I thought. Then I turned my attention to my right, "Kristen wake up, mum carry you ok". My 4 year old obediently stood up, put her hands on my shoulder and I carry her downstairs. I lay her on the sofa and change her into her school uniform, again she obediently follow my instructions in her sleep. She's all ready now, my husband had given her milk in her sleep before he left for work.

Back to the kitchen preparing food for their snack time in school, I saw shadow of Meescha passing by. "Hurry Meescha, I don't want to be late today", a sentence that I won't miss in my morning routine. Oh no, she's back on the sofa, giving me that sleepy look and showing me her tired trade mark. Although she is 7, she still suck her fore finger when she sleeps. "Meescha if you don't get ready now, I will take Kristen to school alone". Meescha is in the afternoon section but goes to same daycare where Kristen study.

Finally everybody is in the car. "Mum I want my hair to be clipped with this butterfly clip" said Kristen. "Ok", I said, "I am sure you will look gorgeous". Gorgeous is a new word that they learnt yesterday. "Meescha please pray for today" and without hesitating she open her mouth. "Thank you God for today.... " she started. Aaah what wonderful children I thought, God's blessing upon my life, I continue the thoughts. "Why nobody say Amen" suddenlly I heard her upset voice, oops sorry...

That's my wonderful Monday.
