Arrggghhh!!!

My posting frequency here has become so irregular these days. I used to churn out one post after another everyday but of late, I'm only managing one post in about 4-5 days! No, I haven't lost the desire to blog, I still get online and blog hop everyday to keep abreast of what's been happening in your worlds but when it comes to writing a post of my own, I'm just too darn lazy to think. LOL!

The weekend went by pretty darn quick. The extra day of holiday we had yesterday didn't help much. It's a good thing I'm at home right now on half day leave :D The leave wasn't really planned. Besides I'm kinda pissed for having to take this half day leave and nothing came out of it. Let me explain (I promise to keep this short ... LOL!).

My younger boy was supposed to attend this art competition being organized by the Petronas gas station near his school. The competition is supposed to start at 2.00pm today and he wanted to go straight from school but his mommy asked him to come home first, grab some lunch, let her know what time the competition will be over and then get his older brother to accompany him to the gas station which is just a 5 minute walk away.

Now, the little fellow didn't really agree to that cos he said he wanted to go straight there after school and didn't want to come home and have his older brother accompany him there. He wanted to go by himself. Both wifey and me were not agreeable to the idea of him having to go on his own. And since he so adamant about not wanting his older brother to accompany him, I told wifey I'll take half day leave and come home and fetch him and wait there until the competition is over.

So I leave work around 12.30pm and head for home and just as I am about to drive in the porch wifey calls me and asks me where I am. But she didn't really need an answer for that cos she could hear my car driving in. Apparently she called me to say that the little fellow decided not to go for the competition because he wanted to go straight from school and came home throwing a tantrum because of that. According to wifey, he went upstairs, wrote a note, folded it into an airplane and threw it to her downstairs telling her to call me and ask me not to come home.

Wow, how thoughtful of him but he could have thought of that much earlier and not when I've already taken leave and arrived home! I was not at all amused with him and his attitude and wifey could see it on my face. Well, to be honest, wifey was even more unamused with him than I was. Lets just say that the two of them are not going to be on speaking terms anytime soon. In fact I'd advise him to buy some safety equipment even ... hahaha ...

Sometimes that boy can really get on one's nerves. He has a habit of sulking and throwing tantrums when he doesn't get his way. I know he's only a little boy and all that but sometimes he goes just a wee bit too far with his tantrums. He has been known to shout back at the both of us and slam doors, which is really the wrong thing to do, more so with wifey cos that's one thing she can't stand, especially from the boys. And he's really stubborn as a brick too!

I'm not really complaining about having to take leave but I'm just upset with his attitude. It's not like we didn't let him go for the competition. All we wanted was for him to come home after school seeing as how there was still so much time before the competition starts, get some lunch, maybe freshen up a bit and I was willing to drive him there even though it was just across the road and to even wait till he's done. And he comes home and starts his nonsense about not wanting to go ... siggghhh ... kids!

I don't think I was that difficult to handle when I was a kid (well, maybe the sulking part, I was pretty good at that ... LOL!). Sometimes I really don't understand that boy. Well, as his mommy always says to him,

'People who sulk often tend to lose out on the good things in life ...'

It's his loss. I know he was looking forward to the competition and was eyeing the top prize even. And I believe he would have at least won something if not the top prize cos that boy has talent. Oh well, maybe next time. At least the house is quiet since he's still sulking away ... LOL!
