Sundays

Waking up on the wrong side of the bed is one of the oldest cliché, and the most appropriate to describe my current state.

Xomi spends Sundays at my mother's house. I told Jep to wake me up at 9am, so we can drop off Xomi at my mother's place.

I woke up at 10 a.m., and Xomi was already taking a nap!

I would be thrilled at Jep's intention of letting me sleep in some other day. I just couldn't bring myself to be grateful now. I'm extremely irritated. My mother must be sulking that she started her day early, so she could accomplish her honey-do list and spend time with Xomi.

I woke up with 3 missed calls from her and a number of SMS looking for her granddaughter. I understand how she hurried off to the market and sprinted just to finish everything off. Only to learn that Xomi would be at her house in time for lunch! We stole a few hours of her time with her granddaughter. She’s not pleased at all.   

I’m waiting for Xomi to wake up from her morning nap.
