Just life

• Poor son has a cold and is sleeping with mummy tonight because he is sick
  
• Daughter hates the teachers at school and the noisy, naughty boy who sits next to her.
• Ex is saying very little.
  
• We've had western food for dinner two nights in a row. Must. cook. rice. tomorrow.
  
• Daughter has another two hours of homework to finish before school tomorrow
• The house is a mess and I don't have the energy to clean it up
• My room is a mess
• Truth is, I don't want to clean up unless I'm packing.
• This Anwar take-over-the-government thing is giving me the shits. Hurry up and do it already so the rest of the country can get on with their lives.
• Close friends say Anwar is bluffing - he doesn't really have the numbers for a takeover, even though he says he has
  
• I want to rip into ex and tell him 'we have no future here, let me go home' - but I know that wouldn't be the best thing to do.
  
• Having a positive attitude is not making this easier. It really does seem to be getting harder.
• I needed half xanax today because I was angry with everyone. It worked surprisingly well.
  
• I'm frustrated because no matter how hard I try, I just cannot get my son to do any sort of 'homework' in order to build up his English skills. I'm sure he'll be fine though.
• My sis in law was nice enough to invite us to some lantern festival thing on Saturday night.
• Interviewed a potential new student today but told the mother to give her another 6 months. The little girl is only 2 and a half, so I said that not-talking at this age doesn't necessarily mean she has a problem.
• Went out for breakfast yesterday with another friend who I'm starting to see more regularly. My friend list has now expanded to 3. Woo-hoo.
  
• Went for lunch today and ate rice and curried lentils (dahl) off a banana leaf, accompanied by sweet, milky tea (teh tarik). Yummo.
• Despite the political turmoil in KL, things are quiet here. Life goes on as normal.
• I'm worried that next year when my son attends the chinese school his sister goes to, he'll get many more beatings (smacks on the hand with a ruler from the teacher) than she does and he'll end up hating school.
• One of my students parents took her son to KL for some speech therapy workshop and found out he knows more english than chinese. Score 1 for the Australian spec ed teacher that has been working with him for the last 6 or 7 months (that would be me).
• When it rains and the frogs croak it sounds like we live in the jungle.
• Damn mosquitos
• The Malaysian stock market keeps dropping - damn global economy.
• I've had 3 showers today - damn heat
• Damn internet connection keeps dropping out.

That's it for today. I hope all of you are having a nice day.
