Scary Mommy Manifesto

Please solemnly recite the following before proceeding:
  • I shall maintain a sense of humor about all things motherhood, for without it, I recognize that I may end up institutionalized. Or, at the very least, completely miserable.
  • I shall not judge the mother in the grocery store who, upon entering, hits the candy aisle and doles out M&Ms to her screaming toddler. It is simply a survival mechanism.
  • I shall not compete with the mother who effortlessly bakes from scratch, purees her own baby food, or fashions breathtaking costumes from tissue paper. Motherhood is not a competition. The only ones who lose are the ones who race the fastest.
  • I shall shoot the parents of the screaming newborn on the airplane looks of compassion rather than resentment. I am fortunate to be able to ditch the kid upon landing. They, however, are not.
  • I shall never ask any woman whether she is, in fact, expecting. Ever.
  • I shall not question the mother who is wearing the same yoga pants, flip-flops and t-shirt she wore to school pickup the day before. She has good reason.
  • I shall never claim to know everything about any child but my own. (Who still remains a mystery to me.)
  • I shall hold the new babies belonging to friends and family, so they may shower and nap, which is all any new mother really wants.
  • I shall attempt to not pass down my own messed up body issues to my daughter. She deserves a mother who loves and respects herself; stretch marks, cellulite and all.
  • I shall not preach the benefits of breastfeeding or circumcision or home schooling or organic food or co-sleeping or crying it out to a fellow mother who has not asked my opinion. It's none of my damn business.
  • I shall try my hardest to never say never, for I just may end up with a loud-mouthed, bikini clad, water gun shooting toddler of my very own.
  • I shall remember that no mother is perfect and my children will thrive because, and sometimes even in spite, of me.

Mrs. Rizki's Note:
I love this. It simply reflects my motherhood.

Lila dan Sekolah

Gw udah pernah bilang kan kalo ga baru bakalan mikirin sekolah Lila habis lebaran? Since I'm a mother who tries to always keep promises to her children, jadilah gw hunting sekolah Lila bulan September ini. Ada bbrp sekolah yang gw pertimbangkan. Lila pernah trial di Gymboree & Tumble Tots tapi dua sekolah ini gw ga sreg, mostly krn mrk ga pake Bahasa Indonesia. Lagu2nya pun lagu Inggris, jadi ga familiar sama Lila. Emang sih kalo dipikir2, ga ada salahnya juga anak2 mulai dikenalin bahasa sekunder tapi in principle, me and the husband kinda disagree kalau anak baru playgroup udah diajarin bahasa kedua.

You know, I have kids who never cease to make me amaze *i know, narcissistic*

Now let me tell you about Panji. Jaman Panji dalam kandungan, dia tuh lasak abis. Gw masih inget ngilunya pas dia sungsang trus dia nginjek kandung kemih gw. Ouch! Nah newborn nya Panji malah kebalikan. Anteng banget. Sampe gw bisa tidur 3-4 jam straight. And then bilirubin nya naik. Opname deh di ruang bayi dua malem T_T

One Fine Afternoon

about: · Posted by mrs rizki at
Hari Kamis kmrn gw ga ngantor. Dan Lila dpt undangan buat berenang di rumah Tisha. So I grab her clothing, towel, toiletries dan tak lupa makan sorenya. Segenggam bayam, sebutir tomat dan lima telur puyuh. Lila gw ajak jalan kaki aja kesana. Toh paling jaraknya cuma 200 m and I like to make here physical. That's why lately kalo ngemol ga pernah bawa stroller lagi. Dijalan ketemu anjing nya Tante Paula dan Lila dengan ceria menyapa si gukguk. "Dadah anjiing.. Kakak mau ke rumah Tisha dulu.. *nambahin* sama ibuuu.. " hahaha.. Ramah ya Lila?

And I love how Lila now calls doggy with "Anjing" instead of "Gogok" yang diajarin nyokap gw. I don't usually baby language-ing things to Lila. Semuanya disebut dengan nama aslinya.

Sampai sana ternyata Lila yg lebih semangat berenang dan walaupun rasanya itu makanan seabrek2, abis aja gitu lho. Good girl!

Pulangnya sambil nenteng tas plastik isi baju basahnya. It was a beautiful beautiful beautiful afternoon. The sun is setting. Lila dan Ibu berjalan bergandengan tangan ke arah matahari terbenam. Ketemu anjingnya Tante Paula lagi dan gw mulai nyanyi lagi Heli. You know..

Aku punya anjing kecil
Kuberi nama Heli
Dia senang bermain - main
Sambil berlari lari

 Heli.. Guk guk guk
Kemari.. Guk Guk Guk
Ayo main main
Heli.. Guk guk guk
Kemari.. Guk Guk Guk
Ayo lari lari

 Everytime we hit the "Guk guk guk" part, I would stomp my feet to the ground and Lila would laugh hysterically as if it was the most fun thing she's ever had for a while. We sing that song together along our way home.

I would never forget that day. That fine afternoon will forever etched in my heart.

Tadi malam, saat ngantuk2 nyusuin Panji, gw berpikir bahwa nyusuin Panji ituu.. rasanyaaa.. TEPAT.

Posisi kepalanya di lengan.

Lengkung tubuhnya di pangkuan.

As if Panji and I are built for each other.

Ibu loves you, handsome!

Taken from here..

Bagaimana rasanya kerja satu kantor dengan seorang bintang film ternama seperti Acha Septriasa?
Amazing!
Inilah cerita menarik ketika Acha Septriasa pelan-pelan meninggalkan dunia film dan memutuskan jadi karyawan kantoran. Kini ia merintis karir sebagai 'External Public Relation di sebuah perusahaan tambang dan gas. Tugas bintang film 'Heart' ini bertemu banyak pejabat dan melakukan lobi-lobi untuk mewakili perusahaannya.
Yang menarik, hari pertama kerja, Acha disambut meriah oleh para karyawan kantor tersebut. Kapasitasnya sebagai aktris film membuat heboh seantero kantor. Petugas keamanan (Satpam) pun ikut heboh menyambut Acha.
"Pas mulai kerja, satpamnya bilang 'wahh Mba Acha mau kerja disini? Asyik! Jadi pas saya datang bisa langsung lihat Mbak Acha nanti ya? Mudah-mudahan betah di sini," kata Acha, menirukan ucapan sang satpam.
Ia menuturkan tugas barunya sebagai orang kantoran. "Jadi nanti saya harus ketemu dan lobi dengan banyak orang mulai tingkat Pak Camat sampai menteri. Aku urusi CSR (Corporate and Social Responsibility)," tutur Acha saat ditemui di Planet Hollywood, Jl Gatot Subroto, Jakarta.
Para karyawan di perusahaan minyak tersebut, dari office boy hingga security sangat senang ada seorang artis cantik bergabung bekerja bersama nantinya.
Di perusahaan minyak luar negeri itu Acha akan bekerja dari pukul 07.00 WIB hingga pukul 16.00 WIB. Menurut Acha, perusahaan minyak tersebut memang sengaja mencari karyawan dari kalangan public figure seperti dirinya sebagai ujung tombak kehumasan.
Sedangkan Acha diuntungkan karena ia bisa bekerja dari bawah bersama masyarakat biasa.

All I can say isss... LEBAY LEBAY LEBAAAAYYYYYY
Statement Acha lebay, tapi lebih lebay lagi siapapun yang nulis berita ini. I mean, oh please deh kayak segitu dpt duren jatohnya apa orang kantor gara2 Acha kerja disitu. Anak Agus Marto kerja selantai sama gw aja, gw BIASA. Cih #ngibasin rambut

Dan yang paling bikin emosi adalah kalimat terakhir. Apa tuh maksudnya bersama "masyarakat biasa"? Emang Acha ga biasa? Emang dia lebih hebat gitu dari pegawai kantoran biasa? Emangnya krn dia arteissssss trus jadi harus dibedain dari "masyarakat biasa"? Trus gw harus bilang WOWW gitu??? Hah? Hahhh??? Coba jawaaabbb!!

Pingin banget ganti template.
Udah nemu nih, mau pake Lummoxie aja tapi ga bisa download dari kantor. Lemme try this at home later in the evening.

In the meantime, tadi pagi akhirnya gw sarapan ala polisi amrik with Donuts and Coffee Chocolate :D Abisan dari Kuningan udah tau bakalan telat nyampe kantor, kan ngapain juga ngebut2 ngejar jam 08:05. Mending santai dan mampir. Ahh.. Aku rindu makan Dunkin Donuts.

Dulu banget waktu jaman baru2 pacaran sama suamiku, kami pernah menghadiri ultah temen sekolah, Fael namanya di Dunkin yang di Cipete. Pulangnya si Bapak keukeuh bgt nganterin gw pulang (kan naik metromini, desye takut bow, palagi gw pake rok mini beuneurrr..) Sementara gw nya juga keukeuh nolak2. Ya abis gimana, si babeh gw yang kumisan kan ga tau gw pacaran. Serem aku, mamaaakkk =))

Akhirnya tetep dianterin, dan abis itu minta putussss :))
