Sometime

Sometimes wanting to fulfill an ambition you have to sacrifice not being around the ones you love most. That was what I thought Susan was feeling when she started working again. It was yesterday that Susan came home around half past eleven, after her first day working. When she reached home all the children were already asleep.

I could tell that she missed the children so much as they did and she asked me about them once she entered the house. I told her the kids were fine and that Rose was great with the kids, but she insisted on checking on all the kids. So I let her be and just waited until she finished and must have been up there for at least an hour. When she came down she was a little bit calmer than before and she asked me so many questions about what happened while she was away.

Well I told her many things but what happened before dinner was what made her sad (read yesterday post). I was really surprise coz I thought she would be amused and laughed but it rather made her sad. I asked her why and she said that she felt she should have been here with us and laughing together. Well I told her that was a silly thing to say as she was the excitement and it would not have happened if she was here. Then Susan started to smile again and said “Yeah”.

I thought now I better be a bit thoughtful when I said anything to Susan about what happens when she’s at work. Maybe next time I won’t be that lucky and get off so easy….heheh.

So now I’m leaving you guys with these paintings by Edvard Munch and his biography  while I figure out what to say next time…..enjoy!!!

The screamed

I’ve just finished having dinner with my children and they are now all busy doing their school homework. As you all might have known, Susan have started working (read previous post) again and that left me and the children until she returned around 11 pm.

Rose is already in her room resting (watching TV) after cleaning up the dinner table. Everything seem to go well today, as I’ve picked up Anna and the twins after school, but something happened before dinner that made everybody excited. It all started while we were waiting for Rose to prepare dinner and the kids and I were watching the TV. Suddenly Anna shouted “mother” when she saw Susan doing a live broadcast on a news flash. Sam was clapping his hands and was yelling something (which I was not sure of) and the twins were jumping up and down the sofa excited seeing their mother on TV. Well at that time it sounded like there was a riot going on in the house and all hell had broken lose with sounds of screaming, clapping hands and the twin’s whistling and cheering their mom. I told the children to be quiet but still they are all so excited seeing their mum. As for myself I am so proud of my Susan for appearing in the TV and I think I’ll be getting phone calls from relatives asking about it. But for now its time to check up on the kids and I’ll leaves you guys with these painting from Basuki (Basoeki) Abdullah and his biography…enjoy!

Awesome breakfast

Today’s breakfast was awesome. I think that was what Susan (my wife) and Rose (new housekeeper) had in mind when they prepared the breakfast. It has been a long time since we had so many food for breakfast. There was so much food on the table that even the twins (known to have the biggest appetite) were surprise when they saw it. We had chicken porridge, sausages, scrambled eggs and even French fries on the table. I knew in my mind that this was Susan’s ways of saying thank you to the family for supporting her and allowing her to work again. So as to show appreciation for Susan and Rose's effort, I told my children to eat up and I think the twins are the one that really appreciated this breakfast.

As Susan will be doing the second shift she won’t be back till eleven tonight and I think she and Rose will be cooking something very special for lunch and dinner . Well that’s for us all to find out later. I’ve reached the office now and about to start working so I’ll leave you guys with these painting from Affandi and his biography......enjoy!
