Let me tell you a secret, I may look so organized and always a step ahead --- That's how I look but in reality, I'm a Queen of Last Minute! With all the tasks and errands I need to do on a daily basis, there will definitely tasks that are left undone until the last minute.
Just like Christmas Shopping, and it has been going on like that EVERY SINGLE YEAR since I became a mom!
On a positive note, it tests my wits when it comes to shopping! I do have a list, check it twice and shop in between mother/wife/daughter duties!
Last December 24 was the final stretch of my cramming, my yaya was on leave so there wasn't any extra hand for me (prepare Kyle's things, wash the dishes, etc...). We went for last minute shopping at SM Makati and I only had an hour to squeeze in shopping for both my family and Mr. AMW's family! The mall closes earlier than usual (8:00pm) so the shopping trip was even more nerve-wrecking!
Skipping dinner since we had heavy snack, we took our son to a toy store leaving Mr. AMW with him (he's a super hands-on dad too by the way so he can definitely manage), I rushed to SM Department store and completed my list! I was just looking for a gift just for last one recipient, the mall suddenly closes the doors and we were asked to pay for our merchandise! The air-conditioner was also turned off so I was literally panicking and sweating (a lot!) Gulay, what to do? We had a family gathering that evening!
