Me Time!

[Funz]

Who needs kicking? Lai, lai, I am in a kicking mode.


Helper kenna from me these few days. She really slackened a lot. Kids and DH has been complaining about missing socks, undies, clothes, etc. Checked and found that laundry is done, she just did not sort them out and put them into the respective cupboards. She is also not cleaning the toilets as frequently and lately, not washing our cars unless we reminded her to. Made her clean out the fridge and pantry. OMG, she really got it from me when I saw the stuff that has been languishing in my fridge.

Staff also received a reminder from me this week, a lot of them have paperwork and admin backlog that has been piling up. Made them do a mini housekeeping of all their respective areas. Rolled out a few projects so all of them are scrambling to get their respective parts done.

Kids well, not spared either. Exams are done this week. Time to clear out their rooms. Depending on results, we shall see how much work needs to be done this holiday. Confirm DD will need some help with her Chinese, so told her to check with her friends if any of them are attending any good tuition centre or have any recommendation. Told her to do some googling to find out more about some of the more reputable centres that are near our place.

Really, people cannot be left to idle. Once they start idling, even things that are normal day to day stuff will be left undone eventually. The problem is figuring out what is the optimum amount of work that one should handle, without it becoming too stressful.

Does puppy need a kicking too?

Most tend to idle after a while. Who wants to be hard on themselves? Idle time = ME time. That is why I love this thread.

ME time = sleeping time

I think puppy also has too much idle time, so much so that he is tearing my house apart! Chewed on my sofa, chewed up DH's slippers, chewed on the floor skirting. All these are actually signs of boredom. I have been busy lately so not much time to bring him out, so these 2 weeks, he has been rather destructive. Too much pent up energy.

Moi!

Changes at work, more work load coming in I really need to get pending stuffs out of the way and streamline current stuff , to face the onslaught. Two weeks the new laptop is with me , but havent yet switched over to it. Once i get into the focused exam mode frenzy, I can have it all within my control, but not getting that momentum yet

For the first time DH has taken the planning of the holiday, that is one headache less. I have to get the ophthalmologist appointment. Scheduled a dental appointment. Have to spend more time with parents.

so yes, kick me please :spank:

I’m in a slacking mode now. Just got a project done which has been taking up a lot of time and energy for the past couple of months - and poorly paid too! I still have a some stuff to complete for my volunteer work which I need to get done soon as my husband and I go on vacation next week. I also need to get out my warmer clothing and get the house stocked up for the kids.


We also started planning our Dec vacation a couple of days ago, and as always, I get to do the research and the main "busy" work - tickets, itinerary, accommodation etc. My husband gives opinions, the family pow-wows a bit, then I do the work and submit what I have found out for "approval"! Seems silly to be planning this before we’ve even left for the May-Jun vacation, but we found that a lot of accommodation has been booked up already (in NZ). No choice but to travel during the peak period as we have to wait for NTU vacation and after the A levels.
