For years.. since the brat was born .. i have my hair tied up.. because of the convenience.. and because looking after a infant means having her pull your hair.. as and when she wants. But now that she is so much older.. and like i said before.. my surgeries.. sorta made me wake up. .that there are other things more important. So i’m going to highlight my hair.. and literally let my hair down.. and take care of myself more from now on. Not that i haven’t.. but truth be told.. i neglected myself.. alot because of the brat and the business. So yes.. as soon as i’m well.. i’m heading out to Francine’s.

Protect Your Child
As today’s parent .. we all loved our child more than ourselves. Giving them best food .. and teaching them the right way and taking care of their health is what we do best. But protecting your child with child insurance is very important too. In case, of an emergency, you know that you can give your child the best health care.. of course we are not looking forward for these emergencies.. but you want to know.. that nothing can stop you from getting the best health care for them.. should the need arises. That is what good parenting is all about. Seeing the unforeseen.
Reading Is Great
Reading was always my favorite past time .. when i was a kid. Because of it.. i speak alot better than most of my friends in my neighbourhood. Therefore, I hope to cultivate this love of mine to the brat.. but although she loves children’s books, she only wants to listen to the story.. and see the pictures.. but i’ll say that’s a start.
Strawberries From Grampie’s Garden
First batch of strawberries from Grampie’s garden.. is for Chloe of course. Look at how big they are..!! awesome..!! Of course, Chloe is real happy.. and she was eating alot of it… and peas too. Grampie does grow the best peas in town. As for me.. i’m too heavy hearted to eat anything… or enjoy them. Tomorrow.. or rather in a few hours.. i’ll be going into the hospital for a major surgery. Of course, the doctors are going to do their best.. but you and I know.. there are risked. i wrote a letter to chloe on her blog.. just in case *touch wood*. But I’m gonna be really strong.. and i’m gonna be alright for this cutie pie.
I’ll Try !
Asked the brat anything.. and she would answer.. “I’ll try!”. If you tell her to go to bed early.. she will answer … “I’ll try!” .. if you tell her to sleep the whole night.. she will say.. “I’ll try..!!” seriously .. i donch know where she learned that from.. but anything she donch know if she can do or not.. she would answer .. “I’ll try..! ” Certainly doesn’t sound like a 4 yrs old kid eh..?
I’m A Survivor !
For those who haven’t been here before.. please know that i am going for a major operation next week. I’m having a hysterectomy and having my fibroids taken out. My fibroids are huge .. and it is making me look like i am 24 weeks pregnant. There is currently some complication with it.. because my hemoglobin is extremely low.. and i’m diabetic. So the risk of me taking the operation is even higher.
Why i didn’t go for the operation earlier..?? I hung on for the longest time.. because my daughter.. Chloe needed alot of attention. With a business to run.. and a child to take care of.. i can’t possibly .. take time off.. and leave everything to PB (the spouse) .. to take care of everything.
Now that Chloe is alot older.. and isn’t an infant no more.. i feel it is time to do it. Of course .. there is still fear.. that i might not come out alive. I am not afraid to die.. but i’m afraid to leave the ones i love behind. Chloe is still very young.. even though she ain’t no infant.. but for PB to raise her on his own.. should something happen .. i don’t dare to think of it.
But i’m a survivor.. !! i am gonna go into the operation with the right frame of mind.. but not without doing everything i can .. in case something does happen. Like making sure that all my finances is taken care of.. and a new will drawn up..and signed by a public notary. I wanna sit down and write a letter to chloe.. just in case.. but i’m too emotional about it.
My surgery is scheduled for Monday. Today .. i’m going in for another blood test and am fasting right now .. and EKG .. and some other visit to the pre-op nurse on Friday. I’ll update as I go. Stay tuned.

Chez Pim.. here comes MonsterBrat…!! although .. she wants to be called.. PrincessChloe.
In Preparation Of My Pending Operation
Yes.. in pending of my operation .. i tried really hard not to clean up after Chloe.. or the mess she makes.. after they are done playing in the tv room. My tv room. .and the kitchen.. is filled with boxes of Chloe’s toys. So i tried.. but today.. as i vacuumed the floor.. i knew there was no way.. i can take it anymore.. and started cleaning out. Packing and discarding.. and moving her boxes around.. so we have more room in the tv room.
I don’t know what I am gonna do .. once i get my operation.. come home.. and need to get rested..?? When i had chloe .. 3 days later.. i was home.. cooking .. washing. .and back to the store.. taking care of the Christmas rush. This time.. with my fibroids operation.. i really donch forsee any difference. I will still have to get up and cook for myself.. and clean.. and vacuum… and do dishes.. and wat not..! *sigh* .. wished i was home.
Chloe’s School Orientation
Chloe went for her orientation for her school starting this fall. She did so well.. we were taken by surprised. She just followed the teacher .. and the rest of the student .. to another class for playing .. and doing exercises.. and even had a snack. No crying.. no fussing.. absolutely cool.. and happy. Even the teachers said.. she was really a happy kid. I cannot be more proud of my brat…! I wanna cry.. 😉
They place a cute sticker with her name as soon as we got into class.
Well.. you know how chloe is like.. as soon as she sat down.. she started drawing.
This was one of the classroom we saw in the school. I think they are for her next year classroom.. but I’m not too, too sure.
