* was woken up at some ungoddly hour by K, chucking her water sippy cup at my head. think it was before 6am. Did the "wake-up-early" bug join the mogura from gaijin wife's house on a visit to TJKR's life???
* was stuck at a train station for 10-15 minutes while K chucked a tanty about getting in the pram (necessary so that I could get her and pram up the flight of stairs)on the way to playgroup.
* was almost crying after said tanty was followed by a man cutting me and K now in the pram off as we tried to cross the road. I may have yelled out after him "本当に自分勝手やな、この国” which I guess translates to something like "this bloody country - everyone is so rude!"
* had really had enough of K as she pulled the "prawn" (where she arches her back and throws her head backwards, usually to land on the floor) at playgroup when I took the bag of clapping sticks away from her.
* was thankful that the lady from playgroup who was looking out for the kids while some of us mothers had a discussion, was kind enough to hide the library books that K ripped to shreds.
She told me - "your daughter likes ripping up books!" (gasp!)
"How many?", I asked.
"I found 4 ripped pages....." GASP!!
* realised how crap my written Japanese has become when I tried (unsucessfully) to translate an email E-> J.
No, it was really crap.
*can't remember the html for bullet points *sigh*
but on a funny note....
* saw the lady from the house down the block going through the rubbish before the bin truck came, and caught her taking out paper bags, I guess from nice shops so that she can wow her friends next time she gives them a melon or some laundry soap as a little gift.

Wow you sound like you need a big hug, something sinfully chocolate, and a bottle of wine!!
ReplyDeleteWhat a craptastic day! I hope that tommorrow is much much better. And I hear you on E-J trans.. gah.. makes me want to poke out my eyes with sharpened chopsticks. :P
thanks sara!
ReplyDeleteA big chocolate muffin from Costco did the trick actually!
The chopstick comment had me giggling. I am now wishing I could use said chopsticks for other purposes....maybe on all those people who annoy me when I go out of the house! lol. I can see the headlines now - crazy aussie pokes out baba's eyes in supermarket, while shouting "ほら、お箸上手でしょう！" (yes, I CAN use chopsticks)
Definately agree on the needing bottle of vino. Perhaps two, perhaps some schniders...
ReplyDeleteLaughed at the 'prawn'. Down here in Kunimi we call it the 'inabauwa'. Shou managed to 'Inabauwa' himself off a high double bed at seven months. Marina is just starting to get the hang of it!!
