Voting Day

Yes.. ! it’s that time of the year to exercise your rights. Last year.. i voted for the first time.. for the town councils election.. and today.. i’m going to vote for the provincial election. It had been a busy week already for us .. yesterday .. PB and I went for our eye examination.. but for me.. i had to take extra examination like x-rays and stuff.. because i have diabetes. The Ophthalmologist that i went to.. Dr Robichaud was extra careful.. and referred me to an eye specialist .. because there was a small shadow behind my eyeballs. But i already have a referral to Dr Wahji by my family doctor since last week.. but yet to hear from them. Nothing to worry about .. i’m sure.. they just wanna be very careful.

Tomorrow.. Chloe is getting her pictures taken for school .. and then on the Friday is her new school orientation. Next week, another busy week.. with Chloe’s school pajamas breakfast party, followed by another appt with my family doctor.. to review my blood test – that i’m taking tomorrow (no i’m not sick, they wanna be sure.. i’m alright.. since it’s my one year anniversary since my huge surgery last year). Yes.. busy .. busy .. busy.. !! and yes.. getting the Digby store ready too.. for the summer .. darn busy..!!!! can die..!!!!! plus got online work to do.. *slap forehead* .. but what to do right..?? got so many fans… 😉 Ok.. gotta run.. Keegan is here.

Kids Swimming

Chloe is 5.5 yrs old now.. and she is into a lot of things, like all good parents, we want to make sure that she is an all -rounder. We wanna make sure she eats well, learn the right stuff, stay healthy and also make the right choice, even though she is only 5.5.

So she just started swimming a few weeks ago and loves it and one can only hope that she will continue loving such a healthy sport and since summer is round the corner, I am hoping that this year, we can do a lot more with her than we did the previous years. We are going for movies and letting her do other stuff with her babysitter.. and she seems to be getting a better grasps of expressing herself too. Luckily, in this age and time, we have digital camcorders to help us to record her every milestones and every achievements as well as other things. I bet my mom would be really disappointed that she didn’t even owned a camera thing – for those things were expensive some 50 yrs ago.

What Do You Do When You Have A 5.5 Yrs Old?

We all know that parenting is not just about telling you kid from right and wrong.. and feeding her with some milk everytime she cries right..?? Nope..!! when you have a 5.5 yrs old.. and an active one at that.. you have to get active.

We keep a ball in our car all the time.. so that she can have fun with it.. and even just throwing the ball and catching it is fun for her. We get hours of fun with just that – in fact in doors.. in the winter.. with her grammie. In the summer, you can go for treasure hunt for feathers, snails and flowers.. and in my brat’s case.. she goes hunt for blueberries.. and strawberries. We also let her ride her bike and scooter around the neighborhood stores or to Frost park. And we let her dance and sing alot even when i am doing my dishes. She loves the dancing.. and the putting on the piano. Andd of course .. swimming just started with her babysitter .. every saturday.. and we try not to disappoint her.

The Saga Continues

Well, the babysitter did come on the Tuesday .. limping and in pain .. but not as swollen lips and face as we had imagined. She came for a few hours.. but couldn’t do much .. because she was in pain. So come Wednesday, she was due to babysit again.. and she called to say she was in the hospital .. getting her ribs checked out .. because they were so painful .. she didn’t get much rest the nite before. She didn’t know if she could come to work or not.. and she would call back, while we field her calls by someone looking for her dad at our store. It’s almost like someone hounding you for debt consolidation. But alas, she didn’t call .. and not even on Thursday – but i’m not surprised.

And like always.. we don’t know how sick she is.. nor do we know when she is coming back to work. So here’s the thing – the brat wants the attention .. so we have to stop everything .. to be with her.. and play with her. We love our babysitter.. but at times like that.. we donch think it is fair to my brat nor us .. because we do have a business to run.. and i do have my online work to do. But having said all that .. you and I know.. that our brat comes first.. so what we did..?? like any good parents we stop all the rest of our things.. and took care of a very restless and disappointed kid. *sigh* .. bo pian ahhhhh..!!!!! * pull hair out .. right about now*

JOY! No Babysitter Again !

As much as we love our babysitter that had been with us for 4.5 yrs.. it can be really disrupting when you are expecting her.. and her mother calls 40mins before she is due to show up. The brat had been waiting for her the whole day.. to show her stuff that she learned in school and her new books, so she was disappointed. And my hope to get some work done when the sitter came.. at 3.30pm is now no longer possible.

As a working parent, we have a very tight schedule.. and if the sitter isn’t around, one of us gotta stop doing stuff.. and be with her. And when I go home with her.. i cook and feed her dinner.. and then get the bath ready .. so that PB can come home and bathe her. And nope.. we stay with her.. chat with her.. read to her.. and you know do stuff and pretty can’t do anything else. As I’m writing right now, PB had taken her out for a walk, which we promised when the sitter arrived.

Plus when the sitter is around, we try to go run some errands, but like today, we have to shelf that too. So yes.. !! it is darn disrupting.. but what can you do right..?? she fell down the stairs ..and hurt herself. How the sitter manages to get into these accidents .. well.. lets say.. your guess is as good as mine..* roll eyes* .. Poor kid..!! but still darn disrupting lor..!!! so yes.. i’m just glad Chloe is old enough for summer camp at the YMCA this summer.. that way, we don’t have to worry if the sitter cannot come, at least the brat gets to do something and at this age, they have to do stuff, plus we really do not encourage watching so much tv.

PS : And PB can’t sneak home to take a shower now because we had to cook for Chloe this morning.
