It has been a long, long, week and I'm so happy it is Friday. I wish I could say that I got everything done that I wanted to do, but once again this doesn't happen. A few weeks ago I got on this kick that I have ADD. I'm sure that I do because I have all of the symptoms, but I'm afraid of doing anything about it. I've sort of , kind of functioned this long as a total wreck, what can another fifty years in this condition do? I hope that it will get easier and I'll become one of those super organized women that I read about. Until then, I'll be the queen of half-assed.
I told a big lie the other day. I was having this woman come and clean my house once a week. I'm not really lazy, but I just don't have time to clean my house the way I'd like for it to be cleaned. I'm not looking for spotless, just presentable. Working full time sort of makes this a total dream, but I do think it will happen one day. Well, this very nice woman was coming once a week to clean my house and SHE WAS AWFUL!!!! I hate being picky seeing that I'm superslob at times, but I could have done a better job and I don't charge myself NT$250 an hour. She was even saying that she needed to have six or seven hours to do the job. Get outta here! I sound like a total cow writing this, yet it is true. So, I told her that we couldn't afford it. On top of it, I blamed my husband for it. That's the best part. It's so nice being married and being able to blame someone else for these sorts of things. That's one of the great things about having a daughter as well. All social engagements can be cancelled due to "Catherine has a runny nose."
Tomorrow she's supposed to go on a field trip with her school, but we've opted out of it. First, it's to a farm in Taoyuan. Second, it's on SATURDAY!! Running around a farm in Taoyuan on a Saturday being herded on and off one of Taiwan's notorious-killer-weaving-in-and-out-of-traffic-because-the-driver-is-drunk coach buses is not my idea of a relaxing day. I think I'm going to just take her to the fabric market tomorrow. She wants to be a fairy for Halloween. God help me. My sewing skills are so horrible but she's at the age where she's still not too picky.
Well, I'd better get going to the Hsintien. If I leave now, I can still get a strap on the MRT and a spot on a dirty yellow pole on the bus for a half an hour. Mama needs some tea. She's starting to feel a bit edgy.
