Another day of a career mom...

My department wanted to organise a 'family day' at Maybank's Port Dickson bungalows. It sounds fun getting together and getting to know each others' family members... but as expected, hubby refused to go (how crude! I have never say 'no' to go to his family day... infact he never asked... he just used his veto power to make us all go! Sampai hati he refused to go to MY family day *sob*)... So I am a bit reluctant to join the others for this occasion. But my manager sweet talked me into going and I find it hard to say 'no' to him :( Okay lahhhhhhh I'll go!!!!!!!! I'll just have to go with my 2 kids... InsyaAllah..... *sabar je lah.. sigh!*

Last night, when I was just finishing my Maghrib prayer, I heard Rossa's Pudar coming from my handphone.. who could be calling me at this hour? Then I saw my kids' Kumon instructor's number flashing on my phone.... and I was like.. "Alamak! Which of my kids buat hal pulak nih??" Berdebar pulak nak jawab call Ms Jaya ni. Apparently it's Izzat yang buat hal. He was trying to escape his English reading season for the 2nd time and this time around was caught red handed. I don't really recall what Ms Jaya was saying.. but I remembered well when she said this...

Ms Jaya : Puan Runiza, if I caught him doing this again... I'll smack him!
*Gulp! Alamak... garangnya Ms Jaya ni.... nak pukul anak aku pulak!!*

Me : Err... no problem. (yea lah... what else can I say??)

Ms Jaya : Did you hear that Izzat? Your mother said 'no problem'! So if you do this again I'll smack you!!

And she goes on and on... (errr.... ni mama ke anak yang kena marah ni??? Terkedu sat mama!).

Anyway, served him right. Tak larat dah nak marah2 si Izzat ni... so cheeky!! Mama dah la balik lambat from office today.... penat pun belum hilang lagi ni... pening pulak tiba2 datang bila jawab Ms Jaya punya call tadi. So ingat bila dia balik from Kumon he'd be in a bad mood... but suprisingly, he gave me one big smile.

Me : Wassup Izzat? Izzat tak nangis ke kena marah tadi?

Izzat : Ada surat untuk mama... special from Kumon!
*Hah??? Surat??? Surat saman ke apa ni??*

Then he handed me an envelope.... ohhh.... gambar ASHR aritu rupanya.... :) Okay lah... mama pun dah boleh senyum now! :) But the headache remained.... too much in my head for today... - macam ni lah dilema ibu yang bekerja... *sigh!*
