The other day, I spent an hour at a friend’s place collecting a mountain of baby stuff which included baby clothes (both new and used), baby toys (all in excellent condition), baby equipment and breastfeeding equipment. My entire car was filled to the brim until I could barely see my rear mirror. I even had to reject some stuff due to overload and lack of space in my household. I told my friend that once I’m done with the stuff, that I’d organise her a giant baby sale. She could easily garner RM10k even if she pushed things for a dollar. Some people are so wealthy, I kid you not.

Then my little Tee spotted the big Ikea sign and although I tried telling her that it was really just an angel’s painting in the sky of blue and yellow, she didn’t buy it. She wanted to go to Ikea for a million reasons and it was urgent. She remembered the bird park we visited last week at the Ikano lobby which I suspected was the pulling factor. Since I needed to make an Ikea trip anyway as Tee is now without a wardrobe, and since it would mean me not having to prepare lunch, I made a detour and lo and behold, I had forgotten it was school holidays! Parking was a challenge. Let’s leave it at that.

My dearest Tee had already planned an entire agenda in her head which left me walking and standing for almost 5 hours straight. Oh my God! At one point, I knew I was going to fall asleep standing. I still can’t believe I made it home alive or you would have seen me on front page news, “Heavily pregnant woman collapses in Ikea from too much shopping and an overloaded preschool voice ear imbalance “.

We had lunch at Ikea (meatballs and boiled potatoes with extra cranberry sauce), hunted for her wardrobe which she said she did not want to share with the baby but which I told her she had no choice (we’d given away her old wardrobe as it was too small), visited the indoor bird park where she refused to touch the big, furry brown owl, did RM200 worth of groceries, bought reading books at Popular Book Store and a new set of paint, hunted for a blue yoga block (does anyone know where I can buy one?), followed by some sugar poisoning at SBX. Tee finished an entire doughnut by herself and you know how large they are there. She also had a few bites of Tiramisu and a hot chocolate. I’ve warned her that if she continued eating this much sugar that she’d soon turn into an ugly bulldog.

I had sms’d the Hubs to come get us as I was dead exhausted and couldn’t move an inch (my bum was sinking deeper and deeper into those SBX lounge chairs) but he chose to ignore us. Finally, we took a slow drive home and prepared dinner at 530pm. I then spent the evening clearing out Tee’s room to make room for the new wardrobe. I haven’t even had the energy to open up the boxes of baby stuff……

This week, we are off to Ikea again to make the order for the wardrobe. I needed to check dimensions at home to make sure it fit first. I guess it’s Tee’s lucky day as she loves going to that indoor bird park and who knows what plans she has this time?
