Frustrating Half Day

Today I woke up feeling very crossed. Everything seems to be out of control. The house is messy. Children have left kitchen in a mess. Charles did the dishes but did not keep it neatly and Joe is there trying to teach them to read maps. I went outside trying to be useful by doing some gardening but the lack of tools really frustrates me. The gardening tools here are not cheap and Joe will give the ususal answer. Buy whateve ryou deem fit dear. Vey sick of that answer as that is an indication tha tI must spend the money wisely. He is really not giving me a fat household allowance. Mine is only $250 Aussie dollars a week. Guess what? I was so crossed I went and covered myself under the blankets after giving my piece of mind while Joe decided to go and do some gardening.

In the end, I got up and decided to go for a bath. The bath did the trick and I felt better and I started preparing lunch. Today's lunch is the bah Gu Teh, si guan and eggs and the baked beans.
I have to prepare Sushi for them to bring to the football match so I quickly get to work at one plus. While I was rolling the sushi, I baked the Pizza at the same time. Luckily for me, I remembered last min and the pizza was not burnt. I was preoccupied tryining to prevent the flies from coming near the food. The flies here are very terrible. It's a waste of money to buy the gadgets here to get rid of them so has to manually do the honour. Killing flies have become one of our greatest sport at home. I can kill the flies easily with a towel.

Channery woke up just before they went out and she cried to join them. Too bad for her, she is too young to enjoy the match and it will be another twenty dollars if we are bringing her along. I am not interested in soccer so that suits me well to just stay at home with her.We had great fun after that, we ate pizza, watch a few shows and just have silly games. Channery is now flipping pages of my story book, pretending to read. Well! It was not a wonderful morning but he afternoon was rather fulfilling.

That';s all happening so far. Take care and will write soon.
