Today is a very busy Sunday for me and my other half. In the morning after breakfast we went to the wet market to buy our weekly food rations. After sending the items back home, went out again, this time to the hypermarket.
Oh dear...I actually loath going to the hypermarket and to have to do it once a month is bad enough but this month I've gone to the hypermarket for three times!!! I was there to find items that my son needed for his room at the University.
I can feel my legs were killing me from all the walking and searching for items in the big hypermarket. We spent about almost two hours there before finally going home to unpack the stuff and packed them back accordingly. At 2 p.m. sent my daughters to their friend's house.
Barely had time to shower and dress up for my hi-tea appointment with a friend at 3:30 p.m. Can't really enjoy the hi-tea because I felt so tired and my mind was wondering elsewhere....
Excused myself after more than an hour with my friend (I would have cancelled the appointment had it not been arranged a few days before and the occasion was to celebrate her birthday). As the time was already 5:30 pm I was already late....promised my son to be at his place by 5:15 p.m.
I was somewhat lucky that my other half was free to drive me around this time. We spent an hour of quality time with my beloved son. I was glad to see him doing well there. He managed to go through a week of orientation with not so much trouble.
When we kissed him goodbye I felt all my tiredness gone...because since morning this was the moment that I was waiting for. To see my son well and happy, ready to face the challenges of being a University student. In the car on the way home I had a big smile on my face, a contented feeling in my heart and suddenly I didn't feel tired anymore although my entire body ached, my spirit was high.
I think that is the power of maternal love.
