So. First day of work after a 3-week hiatus is no joy ride. Found out I do not have enough leave to cover all those days even if there were public holidays in between. I have negative zero in my leave bank and I have to apply for more leave in future to fulfill the 5th week, 7th week ritual and 100 days observation ritual. That’s excluding the Chinese New Year leave.
Hmm….. That’s my first day at work. Working out my leave system and finalizing my claim.
Second day for Hughie at school is yes, worst than the first day. The sight of his school uniform made him throw a tantrum that came with vomit. That’s only the uniform!!! I had to coax him to wear it and that alone took 30minutes.
Do I need to mention the crying, howling and vomiting at school? Did I mention escape as well? Yes, second day proves to be harder and tougher for both parents and teachers; Hughie as well.
I dare not think about Monday next week. I should get a battalion of aunts, uncles and cousin to bring him to school!! Sigh…. Yes, the joys of life that we have to go through for school going kids.
I need sedatives; for myself … Not Hughie.
