Mother & child

Mum called. I feel so bad for not being able to talk to her. I was marking badly-written compos (which I feel is such a waste of time when they are rubbish) and I had to tell her that I can't talk. That's really sad and besides, this isn't the first time I've done this to Mum. This is terrible!

I know she's so free, with nothing to do, except to make quilts, go to the gym, walk around town, cooking demos, etc...she can afford the time to talk on the phone for forever. But I don't have that kind of luxury. Actually, I felt very tired while marking those papers and I didn't feel like doing it but they just had to be marked. Looks like I'm going to spend the weekend doing it as well.

Anyway, back to the point. Mum takes the effort to call but I'm not taking the effort to talk to her. Partly because I'm not in the right frame of mind to talk and two, I have no idea what to talk about. Imagine the guilt I feel and I just cannot bear to think how I am to split myself next time with husband and kids. Yikes!

Talking about husband and kids, we were just discussing at work that the ideal age for child-bearing is 21. Can you beat that? 21! I was in uni, for goodness sake! Reason being, the older you get, the risks of abnormalities increase. Heh, looks like mine will be high risk since I'm way past 21 with no plans in sight. For all you know, I might just adopt a kid or something.

That aside. I think I must be a really nice person. My form class is coming up with a class t-shirt and I met the t-shirt guy to check out the samples for quality and all. OK, he's charging $12 per t-shirt and I thought for a fleeting moment that I should get the t-shirt for the girls as a Children's Day present. But the t-shirt guy said I shouldn't do that because these kids probably won't understand the intention behind it. I thought for a while and I suppose he's right...hurray.. I save $444! Nice chap...bless him! I want to get this t-shirt thing sorted so I can move on to doing other stuff. There are 10,001 things on the 'To Do' list and the list just grows.

I don't provide philosophical thoughts on my blog and neither do I preach bitch on it. Maybe I might, maybe I might not. Whatever.... !!!
