Cranky mom

A reader once emailed to me and awarding me the title of Cool Mommy. Thank you very much, anonymous reader, but unfortunately today...I'm losing it. I started the day on the wrong foot, so to say. Beginning with instruction to bibik to cook mee goreng and chicken soup which turned out to be mee soup and still uncook chicken. Of which Amri took one spoonful and declared not nice and began to get cranky because cool mommy promised him his favourite mee goreng last night. The cool mommy was getting cranky too because she was hungry but hate mee soup in the morning and she was running late but cranky son was still unhappy with his breakfast plus cranky baby was whining and refused to be put down. Cool mommy was sleepy too since clingy baby refused to be bottlefed all night and the flu pill was still in cool mommy's blood stream. To avoid any tsunami like event in the house, cool mommy shoved cranky son, without breakfast into the car and off we headed to kindergarten, which was already jam packed with big, luxury cars that cool mommy has to park three streets away.

Much to cool mommy's horror, cranky son decided he no longer like his kindy and his classmates and refused to sit in his classroom unless cool mommy sat beside him. An inch of movement would trigger a wail louder than a banshee which would be promptly followed by a few smaller version wail from his classmates. Cool mommy managed to survived two hours wailing session by sending nasty mms to cool daddy.

Cool mommy decided to take the easy way out and bribed cranky kid with whatever he wanted from the stationary shops, including two boxes of clay model. Sheesh!!!! Then off we went home only to find that bibik still has not cook any single thing other than boiled water. Oh my goodness..... Again, cool mommy survived the ordeal by sending nasty sms to agent, whom was kind enough to take cool mommy side. Excellent PR skill, I must say. After telling bibik to cook CHICKEN SOUP for the hundreth times today, cool mommy decided to just buy the lunch for cranky son, for fear cranky son would be found starved to death by his cool daddy.

For the conclusion, cool mommy hereby declared herself as no longer a cool mommy. Cranky mommy sound more like it. I just hope nobody would mess with me in the office today, coz I'm in the right mood to snap people's head off.
