Highlights of Life

quiet hours

Since having children, I stay up late into the wee hours of the night, using the time after the kiddies have gone to sleep to clean and use the time for “me” time.  Only problem is that no matter how enjoyable this quiet hours are… my body truly revolts and rebels the next day as it drags itself awake in the morning.

Lack of discipline… will it ever change in my personality?  But on the other hand, I have cleaned up the living room, steam cleaned the carpet, and scrubbed down the bathtub till it is gleaming clean.  Too bad the kitchen is a mess, and laundry is piled up.  How women in the ancient days, without a washing machine, without chemical cleaners, and without dishwashers and vacuums ever survived, I will never know.

Looking forward to seeing my mom tomorrow.  E. has been dancing around the house all day today, eager to see grandma, and singing songs of seeing her.  She is over the moon about grandma visiting tomorrow.  How I wish we lived closer to her than we do.  I think once our lives become a bit more stable, we will hatch a plan to move back East…. onward and eastward I say.

Deep down, we are East Coast people.  I don’t get this entitled attitude the Stanford graduates have, nor do I get this west coast attitude of not being grounded.  Whether it is boasting of one’s deeds, or one’s assets  or flaunting it… I just don’t get this west coast thing.  Don’t see MIT or Harvard graduates dropping their alma mater within 2 sentences of speaking to them.  Instead, their intelligence usually just comes forth.  Here, the Stanford grads somehow feel compelled to name drop, and they have this incredible sense of entitlement.

My in-laws will fit right in here.  Ooops… a little bit of a dig right there.  I’ll stop while I’m ahead.  :)
