Uncompromised Position

I am working away from 'home' but due to a technical catastrophe, all are requested to at home office to provide extra hands. (possibly brains too). The downside is how tightly wound-up everyone at work is. The up side is I'm left to my own doing. Yes, it's good to be 'home'.

Last weekend I was appointed official Nanny for a group of kids ranging 6-14. That would be 'work' enough for one who declares to 'hate kids'. These were the sweetest bunch of kids if there ever was. Almost changed my minds about children until they decided it was easy to play 'hide & seek' with their official Nanna. I must say I had fun tho - but you won't catch me saying so Offline!

I also had fun with Tanya. She was official Nanny Assistant. - I don't know why people would think that it's ok to pair you up with an ex even tho it seems like you're good friends now... By the way, did I mention how when we were together, it seemed like me and Tanya were the "forever" couple? -

I digress.

It was during our 'play parent' sessions - By the way, Tanya has this inate ability to make it look like she's the 'mom' figure and me the 'dad' figure which is something unfair coz apart from the outlook appearance, Tanya is more alpha than me! - that Twet confides in me about her current beau Andy. He is literally a He, meaning, male. An actual male-born male, been-male-all-his-life male! Andy is a heterosexual man!

I couldn't stop laughing. Oh the irony of that disclosure. (Tanya and I had difficulty coming to terms with the fact that I had/may have relationships with men.)

Later on, we brought the kids back and they were absolutely spent. I left to get dinner but when I got back, the kids were already in bed, their hunger filled with instant noodles! Bless them.

I had a nice dinner with Tanya and we were a lil drowsy as well. There were 2 bedrooms but since 1 was filled with kids, we decided to retire to the only one available.

"Habit has a habit of making a habit out of you."

In the room, I switched on some good ole music, perhaps out of habit.
Something soft that we both enjoy.
Then she propped up in bed with a book,"Did you also bring a book?".
I pointed to mine. Never leave home without it.
Me neither, she quipped.
You never know when chance would present time for reading.

At this point I think I should mention that the parents of these kids were still at work and wouldn't be able to join the chalet till close to midnight.
