Thinking

Photobucket

It had been quite a month.. starting just before the Chinese New Year. Chloe is finally back to almost normal.. and i say .. almost because she is still hacking. After enduring this back bolt of illness, we resorted to using the baby monitor once again .. so we can hear her.. when she does get bad dreams.. or if she felt like throwing up. Yes.. call me paranoid.. or whatever.. that’s alright.. i do what is right by me and my daughter.

From waking up with high fever to screaming and inconsolable.. and of course, we had to run the store irregardless.. i think it had been really hard on the “ang moh” .. but he took it all in.. and never whine a single time. Exhausted as you can see we are by now.. we hope Chloe will not be this sick anymore. Oh, did i tell you she also lost one of her caps (teeth) .. while she was ill..?? and refused to eat after that..?

We do get help from Keegan .. but when Chloe is ill.. i want to be able to take care of her myself.. and i don’t want Kate to get sick either. So we try not to have Kate over so often. Someone had written to ask me why i haven’t been writing a lot lately and not even the adverts. They want to know if it was because of the changes in the different companies that we are working for. i stopped for a moment .. and thought about it – and wrote a short note back that Chloe was ill .. and i have to cook 2 meals a day .. even though she isn’t eating a lot and I have to help out at our store.. even though .. some thinks i am there for the convenience and fresh air. On top of all .. i do clean the store and the house on my own yer know.

Still on thinking.. if you must know and yes.. i’ve been working with different advertisers.. and yes.. even though there are changes.. i never looked back.. but moved forward.. and worked on other stuff instead. And no.. i’m not like some “guru/pro – blogger” who keeps showing everyone how much they earn .. and so forth.. and so forth.. i prefer .. to experiment it on my own.. and if it works.. i’ll then share it amongst those that needs help. But having said all the above, no amount of money matters as much as my daughter. If she is ill, no amount in the world.. is worth the effort or will make me leave her side. It is important to know your priorities.. and i’ve moved on to greener pastures .. have you ..??

Registering For School

We called several schools to make an appointment to visit these school for Chloe’s admission for Grade Primary in the Fall. Yes.. i hear yer say.. all over again.. ? Yes.. but this year .. we are doing it earlier than we did last year.. that way.. we can check out other options. We also registered for Chloe to go for her dancing classes.. but have yet to go .. because she was still hacking bad .. a few days ago. We are also gonna try not to miss any of the orientation .. because it is really important that we do it right .. by the bat.

Chloe will turn 5.5 when she goes to school this fall.. but she may not go back to the old school.. due to various reasons.. that we do not want to encounter again. All of us wants what is best for our kids.. and it’s nothing against the old school.. it’s just that we weren’t prepared for what they were asking of our kid. Wish us luck eh.

No School Yet

We kept Chloe home from school .. since her fever came back again .. last Wednesday. We figured it would be better that way.. so she can clear all her viruses.. and it sure wasn’t easy .. keeping her busy.. and entertained. Kate came after school to help.. but Chloe was extra clingy .. and wouldn’t let go of me.. and let me do some work .. but i went home with her.. because i didn’t want to upset her.. since she only got well this week. She isn’t really eating much still.. and we had to cancel her dental appointment for her broken caps.. because she was still hacking her lungs out. Hopefully she feels better next week.

X-Ray For Chloe

We did managed to get an appointment to visit Chloe’s family doctor today.. I didn’t go .. because i had to look after the store. The doctor sent her for an x-ray immediately .. and will be going for blood and urine test next week. We figured that if her fever doesn’t come back.. we donch have to do the blood and urine.. but we’ll see.

PB said.. Chloe did good.. for her ex-ray.. and didn’t fuss too much about it. I can only thank God for that.. because usually she doesn’t like to try new things. We are so not looking forward to the blood test.

The Silence

I know many of you are wondering why I haven’t updated. For the last month, Chloe had been plagued with a fever .. that comes on and off. Today, it happened again.. she woke up at 4am.. and came to my bedroom.. and fever started again. Of course, i went into a panic mode.. but stayed calmed because of her. Her fever lasted for 24hrs.. and she was darn hot .. 103F. She haven’t eaten anything much .. and appetite is still not as good. Next week, we are bringing her in for a thorough check up.. i’ll keep everyone posted.

No College But Burridge Is Ok

The brat is sometimes so funny. She was having a conversation with the babysitter, where they were discussing about going to college. Chloe whined and said she doesn’t wanna go to college because she loves us. .and don’t want to leave home. In which, the babysitter replied to appease her.. that she doesn’t need to go away for college because we do have a community college called Burridge. So Chloe said.. ok.. i’ll go to Burridge then. In which the babysitter said… then you can’t be staying in hotels or going to the city because you have to stay home. In which the brat staying crying and said.. ” I wanna stay in the hotel..!!” *slap forehead*

Sick Again

Chloe was sick again .. yesterday.. ! fever up to 103 degree and going up every hour. So i was in a frenzy to get her to take her medication .. which she refused. I got PB to make an urgent appt to see her family doctor.. and luckily .. he would take her in. A quick rush to the hospital.. and by the time we were done it was 5pm.

Rushed home.. gave her the medication with lots of persuasion, which normally never even need any coaxing. She slept the whole day.. and refuses to eat at all. So 2 days without food.. this morning.. her fever gone.. and luckily ate a wee bit.. and came to work with us.. in the afternoon. Thank God for babysitters too..!!

What Kinda Mountain Goat Are You..??

Photobucket

Chloe is finally well enough to go to school .. but it had been snowing overnite.. and the day before .. so we had quite a bit of snow.. where her school is. But being a kid and all .. she wanted to walk down that little slope.. instead of going to the pavement.. and who am i to deprive her of it right.. ?? afterall, she is the kid.. who insisted that ipods was the next thing we had to get for her. Anyways, of course i didn’t wanna slip and fall on my butt .. like i did a few years ago, during Boxing day in Hectanooga, so i held onto PB’s hand .. and he helped me. He then asked me.. ” what kinda mountain goat are you..??” in which i promptly replied.. ” a city one!” muahahahahha!!!

What A Chinese New Year !

Yes..! what a Chinese New Year..! i thought i was gonna be sick as a dog .. since i didn’t feel so hot just before Chinese New Year.. but instead.. the brat got sicker (if there is such a word) than myself. Poor kid couldn’t eat.. fever .. and hacking away.. and then lost one of her caps (she had caps done last year for some of her teeth) .. and poor chloe said to us last nite .. after whining about her lost caps .. that she wasn’t having a good day yesterday.. in which PB replied.. ” i think it is more like the week .. dear”… muhahahaha!!!

Our babysitter was even sicker before Chloe and I got sick.. so i donch know if we passed it to her.. or the other way around. So no babysitter.. sick kid.. store to run.. and of course obligation to my movie fans.. luckily i donch need any acne treatment yet. My consolation..?? PB did everything right.. from going into the store later.. and closing early .. to help me with Chloe and putting us first. I guess after years of being together..and having a kid together.. he smarten up .. FINALLY..!! MUHAHAHAHAHAH!!! ya.. ya.. I’M EVIL..!! never said i wasn’t eh.. 😉

Pink Head

Photobucket

Keegan our babysitter turned into a pink head a few days ago, she had gone to “evil” S*** to get her hair done. Remember the gal who was working for us some few years ago, and quit. The one who showed her bum on the WWW, anyway .. i digress.

The first time Keegan came back with her new hair colors it was disastrous.. we could see that Keegan was almost in tears. Yah.. she did look pretty dull with the first hair color, then she went back.. and got this color done.. when she was still on recovery from her flu last week. This does look a lot better than the first time she came back with the other hair color.. but still not as desirable as the old stylist she used.. Corey .. i think her name is. But young girl .. like Keegan, they dare to try everything.. which is good lah. I just applaud her for being so brave to use “evil” S*** because she is pretty new with the hair thingie. And by this town standard, she charged exorbitant price ..!!! ouch!!

PS : A picture of evil S***, popped up on the computer today.. and I asked Chloe if she remembered who she was.. she said yes.. but why did she turn evil chloe asked. In which I replied, she was evil all along.. but we just didn’t know before. We’ve made such bad choices with our ex-employees.. and vowed never to hire again .. after evil gal left and truth be told.. we never felt so blissful.
