Happy birthday .. to a blogging friend .. Ms Kat ! Hope you day began and end with a happy note… !!
What Is Ground Hog Day?
On Ground Hog day this year, Chloe’s pre-school did craft work .. and she learned all about Ground Hog day . .and what it is all about. I’ve noticed that she comes back home with more stories to tell..and shows us what she had learned for the day. She even told me that her present teachers are awesome.. because they hugged her when she was sad… muahahahha!!! yes.. my daughter.. is a very loving kid. Yes..! i really think the new teachers are doing wonders with my kid.
Here we have Chloe showing you all about what Ground Hog day is about.
Thinking
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 ..??
Cleaned The House
After a month of caring for a sick kid.. and sending her to the hospital for countless of times.. we finally had a weekend.. whereby .. we can clean the whole house. Chloe was still sick .. but some cleaning had to be done.. but we ended up doing more.. because i was on the go.
The “ang moh” help with washing the toilet.. and the rest i did .. and then he cooked for the kid.. and kept her busy.. so that i can continue doing my cleaning. Afterwhich, we finally hung up stuff.. that we had bought years ago.. to decorate the house. Finally, after living in the house for 4 yrs.. we finally got to decorate the house.
This was actually meant for the living room.. but the brat claimed it… for her own.. so this is in her room right now.
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.
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.
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..!!
Stepping Up
I’ll have to say.. that after almost 9 yrs together physically and another 6 online had made PB pretty smart .. where our relationship is concerned. Firstly, the man is able to set his priority straight and put me and Chloe first before the business. How do I know..??
The day before, after cooping in the house for a few days with Chloe being sick and all, she acted up. Firstly, because we didn’t have a sitter for almost a week too, she was sick and secondly Chloe wasn’t have the greatest week either. She was sick with a fever, hacking cough and then she lost her caps a few days ago. And when she didn’t wanna come out from the toilet because she thinks she needed to poop after 40 mins, PB came right home. Yesterday, he went to work late, because Chloe didn’t get up and we wanted to let her sleep as much as she can and then she acted up again. The man had to close the store and come right home again to help with the brat.
Yes, had the man not done that.. i think he would be hearing no end of it.. plus i might had pack and left because it was Chinese New Year, i missed home and the food, friends and family. So yes, the man knew .. i was on thin ice and pretty much gonna snap anytime soon. Smart man ..?? yes very..!
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.. 😉
