my morning was greeted by fresh violet alongside an envelope on the otherwise empty table. suspicious that snow white might have eloped with her prince charming, i ripped the envelope. only to find a palm size purple card decorated with delicate purplish pink ribbons.
i could not help but feel warmth in my heart and eyes as i proceeded down the content. obviously motehr-in-law had talked sense into this girl during that short stay over. the last senstence triggered the already sensitive tear gland and i stood there sobbing thereafter.
it read:
"you are always my mom and the only mom that have taken care of me so well.
~lotsa love snow white"
Happy Mothers' Day, Evil Queen!

cooing
how sweet!
to be saved by a tall, dark, handsome knight in shiny armour when in distressed is like almost every princesses dream.
so prince was actually at the venue and was trying to resuscitate the unconscious snow white! he even followed all the way to the hospital. how charming!
my girl has finally grown up (:

isomnia
never thought the house will be this quiet.
freakily still and quiet.
no sound of ipod generated metal rap songs that sends snow white to sleep every night, no fluttering of curtains from the closed window by her bed.
i guess i did not realise she had been my sleeping pills, calming my nerves and sending me to sleep every night.
let's start counting sheep.

at last some peace and quiet
snow white will be staying at monster-in-law's cottage for the week's vacation. the old hag insisted, blaming me for not taking care of her well enough.
fine enough. at least i get to enjoy some peace around the home now.
guess i have to call hunter...

serve her right!
serve her right! serve her right! serve her right!
serve her right to call that dwarfish creepy grandmother of hers to get to the hospital before me and Hunter! that monster-in-law accused me of not taking good care of her damn grandchild and created such a scene in along the corridors of hospital ward. imagine being walloped with a cane by a lady half your size and double your age. how embarrassing is that! darn midget has great strength!
serve her right to forsake a wholesome homecooked organic supper to be pouncing around in that long-haired girl's home (what's her name again? rapunzel i guess. never like that name!). and god knows what she ate at her party to get such bad rashes, a swollen tongue and developed difficulties in breathing. how would i know she had this weird allergy? how can anyone be allergic to apples? i cant even recall what the medical term the doctor just said. what if she'll be paralysed after this? what if she cant bear offsprings the next time? you know how deadly diseases are these days.
touch wood~
luckily she had gained consciousness by day break. thank god.
and who is this young man standing outside the ward whole night? one of the nurses said he sent her to the hospital. how does she know him? and where's that bloody rapunzel?
hopfully she'll recover fully soon.

SHE HAS PUSHED THE LIMIT TOO FAR!
FINE!
she is officially grounded! not a single ring! not even a beep of text message!
is this how she repays other people's kindness? is this how she treats someone who slaved over the over since evening, got her hair in a mess, burnt her finger 'cause she forgot her mittens?
the apple crumble might have actually crumbled but at least my efforts should be appreciated! acknowledge at the very least!
and all her favourite dishes that i diligently prepared - all wasted!
damn this ungrateful soul! i dont care if she's gonna come home drunk and drugged from party, i'm so going to give her an unforgettable lesson!

pressure cooking
it is already so late. i've left 2 messages in her voicemail. yet there's not a single reply. where could she be hanging out at this time? even if she's staing out partying, she should at least have some courtesy and responsibility to inform me where the hell is she!
30 minute more. just half an hour i'm giving. if she's not replying she would jolly well be grounded when she gets back!

totally excited
i cant wait~
left a message in her cellphone to come home for supper.
i have bought the ingredients and decided to throw a mini-surprise party. just snow white and me. the ingredients amounted to nearly 3 weeks worth of grocery! but hope it's all worth it!
8 more hours to party (:

envy
flipping through past photo album while clearing the storeroom, and noticed how snow white had always lawfully own this flawless smooth fair skin. those ebony long natural-curled locks and lucious red, lipbalm advertisement-worthy lips are just duplicate of her biological mum. i am envious.
as i looked up into the antique dressing mirror, a paired of dull wrinkled eyes stared back at me.
I NEED BOTOX! DOUBLE DOSAGE!
hahaha!

countdown to snow white's birthday (:

i cant afford the blue-yellow dress she pointed out in the topgirl store.
this will do. hope she'll like it (:

confessions of stepmums
sounding agitated, merinda called in the morning to enquire if i was able to get staff discounts for the painkillers at my pharmacy. my first thought was she's plotting a muder on her step-daughter.
but it turned out that cinderella fell recently at a party and sprained her ankle. poor girl. worse still, she broke merinda's favourite jimmy choos (for goodness sake) and left the broken one half at the party (she could have given the shoes to me! i could get it mended!)
i promised her i'll check.afterall she's part of the 'stepmums anonymous' club in the community, a self-help group that works on peer encouragement for, who else, stepmothers.
dorothy woods, editor of Mom's Fashion magazine and stepmom of twin (hansel and gretel) is the president for this workyear. we hold monthly meetings to discuss and exchange on family/financial matters, but mostly turned out to be a gossip broadcasting centre on all othermoms in the neighbourhood. i still attend the sessions religiously(almost), i still am a believer that birds of feather flock together.
stepmums unite!

do a happy dance
hunter dropped by the pharmacy and surprised me with cheerful violets again.
i love violets.
i love purple.
i love surprises.
i love romantism.
he proposed and was rejected twice. i wasn't ready. i think snow white wasn't ready too. but i've been considering lately..
oh my dead husband, can you drop me some hint, wherever you are up there, to permit me to move on with my love life and accept , if there is a next time?
lalalalalala~

pissed
urgh!
damn the wretched girl!
just gets on my nerves all the time!
she reaches out her handfor pocket money even though i just gave her $50 two days ago. just a little reminder to watch her spending habit or we'd be forced to sell this mortgage. she simply sulked and exited with a bang (from the front door), without a word of gratitude!
someone should teach her some manners!

miss you
i miss you again. why is is all other widows enjoy valuable mortgage and inheriting huge amount of dispensible insurance grants in their dead husband's will, while all i got is this pathetic antique mirror desk, run-down housewith a backyard filled with full-grown weeds, and this ruthlessly unapologetic, rebellious step-daughter, who throws up sissy princess fits for no apparent reason?
here i'm stuck with this monotonous clerical at the neighbourhood pharmacy, receiving such meagre pay just enough to pay off bank loan for this 2nd hand 1975 Dodge Dart.
damn, just rmembered the deadline for submission of tax is 2 weeks later. Gigantic hole burnt in pocket. again.
my dodge dart needs a repaint
