It is said that kids not only need nutritious foods, but also nutrients for their souls. Kind words, patience, etc...
Yeah, theory... Theory... Theory.
This morning I lost it when I was talking to the house assistant demanding to know why the cough syrup is stored next to the Clorox and other cleaning agents, and suddenly Number One jumped on my back nearly tripping me backward.
It is not even the one hundredth time I was telling him to not do it.
I totally lost it and swore all kinds of profanity.
I can see that my words were like bad assault attacking his heart and soul and left an immediate imprint, as he had never seen me this furious before.
I felt good, just for one microsecond. Then I felt very tired, and beyond sad that I start to cry.
For the hundred millionth time I explained to him why he should not physically just jump on someone. Be it his family members, friends or especially maids.
Then he started to cry too. Seeing me crying.
I don't know... Maybe I should take a break from being a mom?

So I was so pissed that whole day that after picking up the kids from school and feeding them, i decided to just drop them at home and i would go somewhere.
Number One tried to be very very nice to me but refused to get off the car, despite my constant yapping and yipping. So no choice i drove to a nice mall lah to run my errands.
He tried to build a conversation with me. I wouldnt talk much.
I went to Sephora to buy my much needed sunblock. Instead also buying brushes, foundation and concealer, on top of the sunblock.
Warning : shopping while angry is not good for your wallet.
But... the saying that "SHOPPING IS THE BEST THERAPY" is true to the very core.
After shopping, the temperature in my head suddenly cool down.
Number One said, "I am hungry, Mama."
I said, "Wait, I am browsing first." and entered Victoria's Secret boutique. Just to come out 5 minutes later with the mood significantly improved, smelling the nice smell of the stores.
I took him to eat in Ohlala cafe. And he ate one whole spinach quiche by himself. We talked small talks. He read the menu, I am impressed that he could read (a bit).
We walked out the mall holding hands...relaxed, chatting and good as ever, as if nothing happened in that morning.
