Mama come home...please

March 30, 2022

"Kanus a ka mouli?"(when will you come home?

This is what my 5-year old son kept on asking last week during my recollection since I didn't get the chance to come home last week for I had certain appointments. He kept on asking and I kept on saying sorry about me not going home that time. I thought he'll let it go since I promised to make up on him next weekend.

But yesterday Mom was calling me before noon and it's really not like her to call me during work hours so I can say that it's really important for her to call me that time. Luckily, I was not that busy with work that I get to excuse myself to go out for awhile to answer a call. What welcomes me when I answered Mom's call was my son crying. He kept on telling me "Mama, Pauli ba please lang"(Mama come home please!) So I asked him what's wrong and that I am still at work. He kept on crying while telling me to come home. I wanted to cry that time just by seeing him weep for I don't even know the reason why or maybe he was scolded by my Mum. So I told him to give the phone first tom Mum and ask her immediately what happened. So Mum told me that my son kepts on crying since last night and telling he misses me. And also my son wants me to assist them on their 2nd dose the next day.

Right then I decided and told him that I'll come home after work. Even my work can't stop me from going home. I did told Lady Boss that I'll be going home and will be absent the next day. Maybe she saw that my decision was final for she said yes with no questions or maybe she saw me after taking the call.

I didn't want to work overtime for I planned to catch an early bus on the way home and since it's weekdays so I'll be competing with other workers who would be racing to catch a bus and go home early but I was out at 6. I did finally rode after almost an hour of waiting, got home at 11 in the evening.

When I got home, my son was still at the parents room and he didn't know that me and Papz arrived already. When he saw me I know he smiled but then he was sulking up until we went to the room to change clothes.

Since he was sulking and whenever he's havign a tantrum I usually just let him be until he cools down. Because whenever he gets angry or disappointed he doesn't want to talk about it while being in rage. So I let him sulk and pout and whatever and just do my things in our room after I ate. I was on my laptop writing an article when he puts his pillow just near me, and then lie down. I didn't even say a word and just look at him. I know he's still pissed because when I raised my hand went to touch his hair he hissed lol!! Well, he takes after me I guess. So he layed there and then slept, after I finished writing, closed all the tabs,shut down my pc and rearranged him to make him sleep comfortably by my side. His habit of hugging me while being asleep even though he's upset is making me laugh in silence. hahaha

Well, look at that young man who wants me to come home but didn't want to talk to me when I come home to see him..hahah..we're good already when he saw me earlier. He thought I'll be leaving early for work so he was happy that I'm still at home, his little happiness always makes me feel loved.

It was their second dose schedule so the problem starts with him being with a lot of people. He's not used to it and the moment they we're told to sit in the waiting area with other kids, he suddenly told me that he wants to go home. I just told him to bear with it a little and we'll be out after their vaccination.

At last after an hour of waiting we were entertained and do the necessary and look at that boy being excited to exit the area hhaha, they we're for their name to be called to get their vaccine card and we're good to go.

And since they behave, so they got a treat but its chowking since the line in the Jollibee we're quite long and we're starving hahha. I also bought them toys as we were strolling the mall while waiting for Mum.

We went to the department store to buy them chairs since the teacher told us to buy chair for each student. And look at this young man not being able to fit himself but still wants to ride it, silly boy and he kept on smiling while we're following Mum.

This was the view outside the mall, I captured it while waiting for Papz to come pick me up.

Over all today , my son felt satisfied since I kept on asking him if he's happy that Mama was with him. He's "I love you's"are a lot compared to the usual and my reply is instant.

I also told him that I'll be going back to work since I can't be absent for two days and he said it's fine because he spent the day with me and he's more than happy,,aigoooo this kid.

I hope you also did enjoy your Wednesday. To me my son is the most important and I can do this all the time if he became like this again. He's not the kind of kid who always had tantrums and he's an understanding kid I can attest to that, maybe he just missed me that's why he can't take it. Love you son!
