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.

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 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.. 😉

Like Daughter, Like Mother

I was brought up in a different era .. and different culture. I came from a single parent family and i rarely saw my father and since my mother was not in good terms with my paternal grandparents .. nor her own.. I was not closed to any of my cousins nor aunts or uncles. Because of all the above, family is very important to me. I, therefore try to get Chloe’s grandparents involved in her growing up .. to build a special bond them. I also vowed not to bring up my kid up .. the way my mother brought me up ( for example : if she breaks something, I won’t scream nor beat her up).

If I look closely at Chloe, I see me in her.. and because of that.. i am very conscious .. not to get grumpy at her… because we don’t want her to grow up to be a grumpy kid. I’m careful with what I say in front of her.. because she follows my “that’s awesome!”, even when she is in school, encouraging a fellow classmate when they do their school work. So it is true.. that our kids reflect who and what we are and at the end of the day.. what kind of kid do you want your kid to be..?? when they grow up. Kids pick up everything you say and do.. without even trying. We said we were going to get New York Yankees tickets for Christmas present for a g/f’s family from the States.. and she was going on and on about it.. for days. And when my g/f called from USA to wish us Merry Christmas before Christmas .. chloe asked.. did you get your Yankee tickets..?? *slap forehead* . So moms .. does your kid reflect you ..?? talks like you ..?? laugh like you ..??? Are you checking yourself .. constantly..?? I sure am.. coz’ that brat of mine.. is too smart for her own good sometimes.

What Do You Do When Your Child Is Sick?

Photobucket

So what do you do.. when you child is sick..?? go to work..?? bring her to work..?? or stay home with her..?? I’m no saint .. of course to drop everything .. and be with Chloe. We go to work for abit.. if she is up to it.. and then she comes home with me to rest. I don’t do any work on the net .. unless absolutely necessary.. and even then.. it had to be when she is sleeping. My online assignments gotta wait. Nothing is more important than to take care of my baby. What about you..??

Chloe Is Sick Again !

When they said.. “Wait till she goes to school.. you will have her coming back sick every other week” .. and they are so NOT kidding .. i tell yer..!! Chloe had just recovered less than a week.. and she is down with a cold again. What a shame..!! just when she is ready and not fussing to go back to school.. she had to get sick.. 🙁

Like any parent.. we are going to do the right thing.. and not let her go to school and spread her germs. But having said that.. how many other parents would do the same eh..?? Today, when we sent Chloe to school.. her class teacher.. just came back from a cold too.. and her voice was definitely still very hoarse. Poor teacher..!! wait a minute..!! Poor Chloe more..!!

Beauty & The Trendy Mom

At 43 I’m definitely no spring chicken, although my kid is only going to be 5 yrs old in a month’s time. The spouse is 8 yrs younger and to say that I have great confidence about myself and my looks, well lets just say “who are you kidding woman..!!! ” Putting up a brave front in front of customers and friends is quite alright but when I am alone or in front of the mirror after a shower, I cannot really lie to myself right? I was just telling the spouse that I should go for botox (and he called me crazy) this Christmas, since there is an anti aging Dr in our area. The spouse said to make out my Christmas list and he would think about it (but he still thinks I’m crazy).

Beauty is not all about looking beautiful but also about having the confidence to do a job well, driving you to stay healthy thus improving your love life and every other aspect of your life. So if your goal is to improve your way of life and your self-esteem, then you should definitely look into a specialist in this area. I am also very interested in the thread face lift that I’ve heard so much about. It is a non-surgical procedure and is affordable, if anyone can identify with saggy face and skin it has gotta be me. Now I’ll just have to make a trip to either New York City, New Jersey or even Brooklyn, Manhattan, Queens, Staten Island and Long Island.

Possessed

Well.. one would think that after the hospital episode on Sunday.. we would get some good rest on Monday..since the Princess P.I.T.A was feeling better.. when she went to bed. But the whole day.. she said she didn’t want Katelynn.. our babysitter. No idea why.. and i’m very sure that Keegan didn’t do nothing to her. So she slept like 10 something.. and woke up at 12am .. because she fell off her bed.. and started bawling non-stop for an hour.

Nothing we said nor do .. could appeased her… and she wanted to be carried.. and not just carry her.. by sitting on my lap. And she didn’t want daddy to carry, she wanted mummy. And you all know .. that i was trying not to exert myself because of my hysterectomy and another emergency operation some 5 months ago. But never mind, i carried her.. to try to appease her.. and walked her around the house.. and of course, she sensed that i was upset.. and then wanted daddy. She quietened down .. after an hour.. and wanted me to sleep in the TV room with her.. which i did.. so that PB can get some rest. But I tell yer . .the darn floor was hard on the sides and back. I didn’t get much rest.. for she woke up a few times.. and finally woke up at 8am. PB took over .. i slept for 2hrs. Possessed or what..??

Jenn

I don’t know if you remember Jenn who used to work for us .. and drives a truck and a motorbike that even PB can’t write on it .. because it is too big for him. And by the way, Jenn is a tiny little gal.. who was not even 20 when she worked for us. But man..!! that girl had so many motorcycle accident.. i think she will do well with having the number for motorcycle accident lawyers Los Angeles. Well, anyhow.. just the other day, we heard she was engaged to be married. We had seen her not too long ago.. but she never mentioned it. Oh well.. ! i better not be kapo.. and ask her about it. Afterall, she will tell us when she is ready eh.
