BAD Day

Bad days just happen, don't they? As much as you plan well of your days, when it happens, it happens.

I find these two weeks of school begins thing really tiring although I've been a teacher for more than a decade. (Oh! My! I am that old.... Sigh )

Sofea starts to go to the same school I'm going this year. She's in year 1 now. (am really that old.... Sigh again). I've waking up early than usual, preparing lunch boxes for the girls, and of course to set aside some morning time for any 'surprise' from Sofea. Yesterday, she went into the car without combing her wet hair. The day before, she didn't wear her pinafore belt.

Today, I've decided to stay calm and focus on her. I deliberately woke up later than usual as I plan to just buy them food at the canteen later and not to trounle myself for their lunch boxes.  Boy, I was hoping too much.

All ruined when Sarra screamt in the bathroom. Why? Simply because there was a frog in the washroom the nigt before. You get it? The frog was no longer there, she just sensed that mummy's plan to calm doesn't suit her. Wait! There was another scream. Now it was Sofea in the other washroom because there was a dead cockroach in there. Arghhh!!!!! Now it's mommy turn to scream.

Luckily it lasted very short. As their hours of the day improved, mine was to the opposite. As I was driving into this narrow alley, this orange Nissan did not want to make way for me and scratched my humble Vios hind door. I guess that lady did not stand for her subuh prayer. I really cannot fathom her stubborness.
                     
              


See? You can even see the yellow paint of the Nissan on my grey paint.

What a way to start a day.

But alhamdulillah. These were the minor mishaps of my day. They were so minor that, close my eyes,  there were abundance of good things happened too the same time. It really up to one to see either the glass half full or the glass is half empty. I have to be grateful and thankful that there was so so much good things on my side.

Indeed, those things happened in the morning, was just a test of my gratefulness to life. Think of those in Syiria suffering from the cold weather, those in Manik Urai, Sarawak with the flood....

Sujud syukur
