typical mother

lying down here, eyes barely open, trying to blog despite having half a brain left. the other half has been taken over by a zombie. spent the night trying to alternate between being in sleep so deep that an earthquake wouldn't have woken me and being so light a sleeper that the merest flick of the light switch woke me up.

little batman was down with high fever last night and i spent most of the night trying to sponge off some of that heat. sent him off to school same like any other day yesterday morning, only to receive a call during noon. excuse me m'am, i'm the nurse calling from the school. it's phone calls like these that make my heart go ka-thump and drop to the floor in the blink of an eye. ba boop, ba boop, i looked at the floor as my imaginary bloodied heart continuing beating on the floor. imaginative scenarios flashed through my mind at a hundred pages per second, possibly the most effective and efficient page-turner machine ever invented in history.

ah, so he wasn't feeling well. ah, so his friend brought him to the school nurse. ah, so she's going to give his some paracetamol while waiting for me to come pick him up. funny. despite knowing all the facts and that our dear little batman will be safe and sound until i pick him up, it did nothing to slow the red car(that i had to 'steal') that flew down the highway barely minutes later.

when will i stop being such a typical mother, i don't know. when will i stop exercising some of that common sense and less of that impatience, i have no answer. and so it was, that i picked him up. nursed him through the day, and night. and so it is, that i am lying on the bed now, so sleepy whilst the 'sick' little batman is wide awake, sitting on the sofa, watching his favourite cartoons all day. and so it is that i forgot to write the cheques, and send back the documents, and a whole load of stuffs that i have forgotten that i forgot. and so it will be until i get some sleep in this deprived brain. so, don't call me. it's not ready.
