A Mean Streak
I was not myself yesterday!
At 12:15 it was family lunch time and when i checked in the kitchen Trining has not put the veggies in the nilaga! Haler! I was pissed and to show her that i was, i put the pechay and repolyo even if the soup wasn't boiling yet! She had to stop me coz she has not even put the potatoes in! Grrr! I left the kitchen and got hold of my Italian Recipe book to calm my nerves. I salivated on a sausage recipe with beans recipe as i sat quietly and alone at the dining table while the rest of the family hang in the garage!
And then the food was put on the table. First was the adobong tulingan which i requested, then the pritong galunggong which my sister asked for. Finally the nilaga came!
So i called everyone in! Paul my youngest brother was still hanging his clothes on the clothesline so i rushed him coz i was so hungry thanks to the sausage and beans!
Before everyone was seated, MJ my 4 yr old nephew rushed in and said, "Tita Mae si Paolo ginasgas car mo." I mmediately stood up and checked my car. And yes Paolo had used a stone to make a very very long scratch on the side of my SUV. I immediately lashed out at the him, got his hand and put it on mine and then i hit it twice! His father Paul hit his behind!
I felt my blood pressure rise and as i made myself seethe in anger the angrier i became! When i finally expressed it, i told my brother to get out of my house with his son! "Go home i said. This is all your fault. You never discipline Paolo and that is why he behaves that way."
Earlier that same day Paolo managed to take out the blanket off my bed and brought it down to the living room! Paul merely smiled at his son and thought Paolo was so cute for what he did! He went up to return the blanket. And then i heard a loud sound! When i checked, Paolo was in front of my antique glass ecnased San Roque. He had just hit the glass! I spanked his hand!
Immediately after he left and i did not give him his week's budget for milk, diapers and snacks. "Until you learn to teach your son some discipline you are not welcome here in my home," i said!
I was left with only one nephew to attend to-MJ! Over at Rockwell he fell at bottom of the escalator coz he picked up a card he collected from playing at the arcade. I again lost my temper and scolded him for not following me. He just could not not pick his dinosaur card up! The horror of losing his finger was playing in my mind as he stooped down to get it. Have read too many forwarded emails about how children lose their toes and fingers while riding escalators!
Gosh! What a Sunday! Of course that was me!
