What a Weekend

My weekend was the most stressful part of the week.

Friday, I offset my extra hours at work to go to the opening of SM Marikina. HUGE mistake. I had to drive from my office to the mall and the drive from the road to the parking took me around 45 minutes. The stress was agravated by the fact that my gas tank started turning red and I was afraid my car was going to stall while going to the parking building.

I got to SM only to find a horde of people there already. WTF! Jollibee literally was a hell hole…and so were the other shops. Ruy and I found each other after an hour of waiting and we went around a bit.When we got home, Andrea had colds and was grumpier than normal. She also didn’t want to sleep in her crib because she couldn’t breathe. I had to wake up every 2 hours just to pacify her. The other hours were Ruy’s….hehehe.

Saturday. I woke up early, played with her a bit then brought her down so she can be with her yaya. Meanwhile, I stayed in the room to work on some details for my meeting with my boss later that day. While working I was bugging Ruy for our sched so I know my time line and then we had a little tiff. Then we went to the grocery, had lunch, then I went to work for around 5 hours. Then they picked me up, we brought Andrea to the toystore, then to the arcade then we had dinner, then we met Ruy’s friends.

We got home at 11pm and Andrea fell asleep till around 2am. She was crying incessantly and wouldn’t sleep. Ruy decided that we were going to take her with us to the car and drive around. This usually works when she’s not feeling well. True enough, she did fall asleep and we were all able to sleep by around 3 am.

So now let’s talk about Sunday. Ruy woke up at 7 to go to Farmer’s market and though I tried I couldn’t wake up long enough to go with him. So I slept some more till it was 7:30 and it was time for Andrea to wake up. Sunday was spent taking care of Andrea and then at 4pm we went to church and then to the mall to have dinner. We got home at 8:30. I worked till 11:30 pm till I fell asleep. Andrea only woke up twice while I was sleeping….that would have been okay except we had to wake up at 6:30 to prepare for work.

So here I am…exhausted, drained, feeling weak and in dire need of energy pills yet I will be at work for 13 hours today.Why do I do this to myself again?
