Talk about disastrous timing!!

My new project, the Computer Camp for primary students, is about to start in a week. My colleague responsible for preparing the activities and the lessons is sick. I have just one week to prepare all the lessons and train the extra staff for the program. The joy of my family; my brothers’ son is admitted at the hospital with dengue fever. I can’t seem to find enough time for him while his painful cry for my presence is heart breaking. The project is growing bigger by the day. So much to do in so little time, all arrangements of the project pending due to my absence… and to make things worse, my phone has been stolen (something that’s never happened to me..!!), and I have no record or memory of any of my contacts…talk about disastrous timing!!!

I’m not allergic, I’m just not ready

3 years ago my friends started pointing out my allergy. My rejection to Dates and over working attitude made everyone concerned and I was labelled as “Allergic to men”. I started hearing comments like, “Girl, don’t do that to your self, start dating”, “it’s about time you gave someone a chance”.

So what if I hadn’t been in a relationship, in over 6 years? Work 24 hours round the clock? I have a family to support, for god sake. I don’t Date because I don’t have time for it and certainly not for any serious relationships. But, that doesn’t mean I’m allergic to men. That’s right; I’m not allergic to men.

Ok so I’ve had a bad experience, and because of that I had buried my emotions deep down where no one can touch. But that doesn’t mean I have no emotional feelings. I’m just waiting for the right moment and the right person to dig it up :) . I am normal just like every one of you and I too have dreams just like every other girl, to have a perfect family, loving husband, beautiful home and a good business, (well I do have my ambitions, don’t see why I cant include them in my dreams).

Anyways, bottom-line… I’m not allergic to men, and I do want a relationship, but I’m just not ready to settle down yet. So you guys can rest in peace, and let me do this my way and in my time. But I do appreciate your concern...thanks!
