A typical day in a life of an EgyAsian Mum

I am not an overly confident writer, blogger etc or anything like that but I find myself writing when I genuinely have something to say.. Rather to write!

So I start..I start my day as a typical mum with little ones chaotically surrounding me but equally 'too tired' to get ready for school; just as lazy as their mum in this sense. We overcome the first hurdle of using the bathroom within a certain time frame, then move on to another timely occurrence of actually getting ready for school and the rest follows; brushing hair (this includes a series of 'excruciating' expressions and rather unreasonable comments from my 8 year old daughter towards myself for putting her through 'the worst time of the day' according to her!), breakfast dramas and finally one loud "Come onnnnnnnn we're late for school" roar from me. That usually does not suffice, as my 4 year old son always likes to think last minute delays will earn some extra time at home. His thought process: hmm how can I make this harder for mum? I know!! I want a snack mamma!! Me: Ok, a choob or a Kelloggs breakfast bar..Quickkkk! We are running late for school!!. Son: A choob, but I want the lion one. At this point, I almost rewind life back to when I was me without the multiples and the school runs and the responsibilities. Do bear in mind, this thought is usually held for a split second before I am transported back to reality and there I can hear the nagging, the complaints, the cries etc etc (I love them, really!).

Making it to school on time is my daily challenge which despite all the obstacles we face in the mornings, 99.9% of the times the children are never late for school. When my challenge is achieved, it then turns into a daily milestone too! Anddd tick, brownie point for the mummy. Happy mummy makes happy children too! Notice how I did not say it vice versa  :P

You see I could not possibly sustain just living for this all day everyday, so i thought I needed a bit more vivacity in my life and my thoughts jigsawed rightly into a little business idea. Yes, there is always time for pondering beyond children and the chaos. My Asian Designers concept has been the extra spice of my day for about a month now.

I am literally jumping out of my seat every time I see my friends, not because I have missed them (ofcourse, I have!), but because I suddenly cannot control my excitement and want to talk talk talk about my exhilarating (atleast to me) venture. 

I am sure I will be back here, blogging again in a few days. New day, new experience and a new experience always creates meaningful words too :)
