Family Time

Posted by Ling on November 8, 2010

Mum :  Who are you meeting today?
Me :  No-one.
Mum :  What are you doing today?
Me :  Nothing.
Mum :  Are any of your friends coming over?
Me :  Nope.
Mum :  Are you going out to meet any of your friends?
Me :  I told you already.  No.
Mum :  So you haven’t arranged to meet anyone?
Me :  No.  I’m gonna stay home and keep it quiet…spend time with the siblings.
Mum :  ????

As you all know, I arrived back in Scotland on Friday.  Yesterday was Saturday and I got majorly interrogated by my Mum.  She could not believe that I had not arranged to meet any friends nor invited friends over yet.

Today is Sunday and it is also one of my besties birthday – Happy Birthday Mrs!  Her husband informed me of her birthday dinner this morning…but I also, kindly rejected the offer.  My Mum was majorly shocked when I told her I was coming straight home after church.

Back home, I am a known as a social butterfly and I am rarely home, or if I am, it is to throw a party.  However, being away from family for so long makes me appreciate them more.  I was planning on baking brownies and impressing them with my cooking skills…but frankly, it is too cold in the house and I have warmed up this couch so I think I shall stay here all night.

Sis 3 is home too.  She is usually based in London.  She is having a major breakdown because Sis 4 and I told her to make dinner as Sis 4 cooked Friday, I cooked yesterday and today, it is her turn.  Let the meltdown begin!  (BTW, for my own health and safety, I microwaved leftovers to eat rather than eat her cooking!!!)

I am missing my Hubby terribly, but it is good to be home though.  I am taking it in turns to order every one of my brothers around. “Make me a cuppa tea!”  ”Get me my make-up remover!”  ”Change the channel on the TV!”

I may be married out of my family…but I still have authority in the Tung household!  Oh yeah!!!
