“I am one of the top brass in this multinational company, my staff look up to me not just for my intelligence and influences but more so as they say, the sophistication and elegance I carry. What with all these most expensive signature brands only that I wear. Well, what else can I do with my big fat paycheck and bonuses when I had already bought the grandest house and cars and have traveled every part of the world as I transact for my company…”
Well, so much for dreaming. I will not be able to dry these laundry if I don’t hang them before the morning finishes, the whole house is as always, chaotic with the dishes and pots still in the sink. I woke up at 5:00 this morning for my early meeting, I mean, cooking for packed lunch of my husband and two children, the cats too have this morning call meowing that they are already hungry, that would mean too that their toilets should be cleaned up anytime soon. I need to check the recipe book for tonight’s dinner as I already ran
out of what to cook, I think that can wait though, the house will need some ironing first, and yes, the school uniforms for tomorrow. My newly-sewn throw pillows, I’d like to see their reaction when I put them out on the couch today. Alek’s yummy onigiri he called, maybe I should prepare it again…
Some work in my everyday, my every day, it is but plain, monotonous, challenging only to a mother like me…but I know that my place in this world, my vocation in life is a family I love, and the only common denominator it has with that hallucination above, is my dedication to this responsibility. My company, I will do everything to nurture it, to make it grow, big and strong… this is my reality!
