Chloe just can’t seems to shake off that fever and sniffles. She came home from Ciarra’s birthday.. and started having the sniffles.. that developed into a low grade fever overnite. Stayed up half the nite.. because she couldn’t breathe properly .. thus disturbing her sleep.. and couldn’t get up on time.. to go to school. We gave her some medication.. stayed at home.. for half a day .. and went to the store for just a bit. Poor gal..!!
Kicked To The Floor To Sleep
Yes..! i got kicked to the floor to sleep by the brat of course. She woke up at 3.48am.. and wanted to sleep in my bed. After much coaxing .. still she wanted to go to my bed.. so i let her.. but an hour later.. found her kicking me and pushing me to the very end of the bed.. and i gave up .. and got up. I landed on the floor .. sleeping on her make shift bed instead .. for the rest of the night.. without much rest. I guess if this carries on.. i won’t need any weight loss pill to stay slim eh.
Pink Head
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.
I’ve Got “Xiao” Neighbour !
2 nights ago .. at exactly midnite. .we heard some motor noises .. right at our tv room. The brat had gone to bed late.. and we were just about to transfer her into her bedroom. At about 12.05am.. the noise was still going on.. what a racket i was thinking. Didn’t really think much of it.. since it was really cold that night.. and a snow storm coming. When the noise continued .. we tried to locate where the motor noises were coming from. .and in the middle of the night.. and in complete darkness.. i saw someone riding on the lawn beside our house.. on a lawn tractor. You tell me lah.. can die or not..?? after a while .. he stopped.. but not without going a few more rounds on the lawn. Firstly, we can’t understand it… it’s darn cold out there.. no grass .. since it’s winter..and even if he was fixing his darn lawn mower.. you wouldn’t think he would take it out for a ride at that kind of hour.. and in the cold. You see lah.. I got “xiao” neighbor or not..??
Crazy Weather
I said many times.. and i’m saying it again — had i known that the weather here is so erratic .. i would never have come here at all. Yesterday we had freezing rain.. and today .. it was gusting winds.. up to 100km/hr .. and wind warnings. If you don’t know by now.. the cables for power and any kind of cables.. are all hanging up on poles .. like Singapore when we were in the 70s. Unlike Singapore’s government .. they didn’t advance at all.. and have them underground instead. So everytime, the weather turns bad.. i am fearful that we might lose heat and light. And no.. we do not have a wood furnace or a wood stove.. that i regret. If we are gonna continue living here.. i’m gonna have to consider putting one in .. which means.. another couple thousand of dollars… *sigh* ..!!! I HATE THE WEATHER HERE..!!! ok.. drama over.. move along now.
A White Out New Year
As you can see we ushered the new year with a white out here in Yarmouth, Nova Scotia. Everything and everywhere is on a standstill right now. As at 5.13pm.. we haven’t lost power yet. .and we are darn keeping our fingers .. and toes crossed.
We hear that it is gonna last for another day or two. Bummer…!!! Before Chloe was born.. we have had such weather before but i think that was in February. We really didn’t expect it to be this bad.. because every year we escaped it.. but i guess we can’t be that lucky every year eh. Visibility is zero right now.. and we have been stuck in the house since yesterday evening.. and crashing at Phil’s place.. or ppl dropping in last nite.. did not happen.. as you can imagine why.
PS : These pictures are taken right outside our house.
Storm
A storm is heading towards the Maritime.. and i know that many parts of Canada.. is already experiencing it as I type. I wished that everyone stay safe .. and even though we are open today for business, we still headed out to stock up .. in case we get snow in. Water, can food.. and portable heat run by propane, plus lots of candles.. to last us for 24hrs. When you are living in Canada, you learn to be prepared for the worst.. and hope for the best. We’ve always been lucky.. but you can’t be lucky all the time right..??
So Distracted
This week .. i was so distracted.. by what i saw at Chloe’s school.. that when i left the school grounds.. i went into someone else’s car. Muahahahhaha!!! yup..!! have you done that before..?? the car right at the back of our red Ford Focus.. was red too.. but i wasn’t even thinking.. and walked right up to the car.. and wanted to go into the car. Luckily, PB asked me.. “what are you doing..??” from his side of the car.. and then i realized what happened… muahahhaha!!! too funny..!! I bet the guy in the guy must be thinking.. “wats the crazy chinese woman doing..?? ” Quite the embarrassing.. even more embarrassing then thinking my diet pill was vitamins. But that is another story for another day.
I Don’t Wanna Go To School..!!! Part 2
Well.. we had another meltdown yesterday at school.. where the Principal had to call us into the school.. because Chloe was crying so bad.. she was turning hysterical. But from the time we hung up the phone.. till we arrived at school.. they had managed to calm her down again. And according to her teacher, it was 1.5hrs.. and then she was ok.. for the rest of the day. But when we picked her up.. she was noticeably upset and had been crying.
This morning.. while having breakfast.. she again started crying that she didn’t wanna go to school. We broke down.. with threats .. about canceling her birthday party and throwing out her toys. She claimed that she can do her learning at home.. and that she remembered what to do .. for writing and all. And more crying. We arrived in school at 8.36am… after much huffing and puffing from PB and me. And she still was crying when we handed her over to her teacher. It had been almost an hour now.. and we haven’t heard from the school… so we’ll see what happens next. Read on.. because you might have kids going to school soon.
