Friday @ School

Well.. Thursday came and went.. and we are at Friday today. Chloe’s form teacher was sick since yesterday.. and it got me more worried today.. because I was afraid that the relieve teacher didn’t know what was going on. And fearing that Chloe might stumble again.. I decided to quickly ask the relieve teacher if she knew about Chloe’s special need for the bathroom help, in which she replied she did. As i was walking outta the school, i took another look at Chloe. .and she had my photo frame on her desk and staring at it. *sob*… oh it breaks my heart.

During break time at about 10.15am, we were at the school to visit.. and they didn’t get to eat inside the class like they always do.. and in the end.. Chloe didn’t get to run around at all, she only had time to finish eating. I was devastated. *sigh*. Maybe, we are wrong to push her to school so early, she is barely 5 yrs old.. and doing what a 6 or 7 years old is doing. I feel like a really bad mother right now and i’m so not kidding.. coz’ as I’m writing this.. i’m sobbing as well. This is so hard .. we want what is best for her.. but i really feel she may not be ready for the pressure.. and the long separation from us. I am seriously considering taking her out .. and putting her in pre-school for the rest of the year. Heart breaking .. to see her so longing for me.

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.

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.

Possessed

Photobucket

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.

Photobucket

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..??

I Don’t Wanna Go To School – Part 2

Photobucket

So yes, I had written earlier about Chloe not wanting to go to school since Tuesday.. and was quite paranoid in the morning to go to school. She had started with complaining that her tummy wasn’t feeling good.. to her stuff nose which was already so much better from 2 weeks ago. She had her relieve teacher call us on Tuesday .. and we went to pick her up… even before we finished our breakfast. Of course, we went to pick her up.. and when she got home she was perfectly fine. An hour later, we tried to send her back to school.. at 11am.. but as we neared the school.. she complained that her tummy hurt again. We turned around.. and went to the store again.. and she was perfectly well again.

The next day.. she didn’t want to go to school again.. and pooped like 3 times at home.. and as soon as we went into her school.. she said she needed to go to the toilet.. and started crying. And for the rest of the week.. she was like that.. didn’t wanna go to school in the morning. Seriously, we didn’t know what to make outta it, afterall, like i said before she was a happy kid.. that LOVED school.

Ok.. lesson #1 .. all mummies who are having kids going to school soon. Never tell the teacher in front of your kid.. that she can call .. if she ain’t feeling good. You see, as soon as I said that.. Chloe picked it up right away.. and made the relieve teacher call us. Lesson #2 .. do not panic because there must be a reason for it. Lesson #3 .. Do not think that her tummy ache ain’t true .. because anxiety can cause tummy ache and hives ( which Chloe developed on Wednesday). Lesson #4 .. TALK TO HER TEACHER .. they can shed some light into all these anxiety issues ( we did .. and it did shed some light). Lesson #5 .. continue to send your kid to school.. don’t let them get their way… and for us .. we brought her to see her family doctor .. just in case .. there was more to it. Ok.. i’m sure you wanna know how it turned out right.. well.. that will be for another day .. and another post.. because Chloe doesn’t have school till Tuesday.. i shall report back.

Meet The Parents Day

Truth be told.. we were kinda fretting this day .. but it turned out a lot better than we thought it would. With all the analysis done on poor Chloe.. we really thought that we had better pull her outta class and put her in pre-school for the rest of the year.. and start all over again.

As per her form teachers report.. she is doing pretty well now.. and coming along nicely. Sure it is a little bit slow.. but she is coming along. Besides that, her form teacher had reported that she was a very pleasant girl and very cheerful most of the time.. till this Tuesday… where she didn’t wanna go to school. We had told her .. it’s probably because of the toilet issue they had on Monday. And we will continue to monitor Chloe for the next few days.. and we’ll go from there. Overall, we are very happy with the meeting .. and it really eased my mind a lot. On the same note, I am on a mission for Chloe’s school.. but that would be for another day .. and another post.. when I had finalized the details.

A Tag Kirium For Christmas

Photobucket

Christmas is around the corner again and getting presents for the man can be really hard at times. First of all, the only things he likes are not within my price range and secondly, he already has too many “toys” if you know what I mean. But I’m all for getting him a Tag Kirium, if he would let me. Tag Heuer watches are good for any occasion and for as long as I can remember they’ve always been my favorite. I remember when I first started working and I would be walking around Takashimaya Shopping Center and hanging around outside of Tag Heuer’s boutique there, admiring the watches.

Besides being synonymous to best quality and great workmanship, Tag Heuer watches are known for being very sturdy. I have one for myself that travels with me where ever I go. Whether I was inspecting a hotel or attending a cocktail in the hotel I used to work for, Tag’s are never out of place nor out of fashion. The selection at the Watchery is not only huge, the prices are very tempting. At almost half the price of what I would be paying for them back home, here they pass the savings to folks like you and I because they are not required to follow controlled prices like the authorized dealers are.

I would also like to add that the watches sold are 100% genuine and given the excellent rating on eBay with over 1600 transactions completed, one can see that they are reliable and trustworthy.

Ski Holidays

Skiing in Courchevel 1850, France, was one of the most amazing experiences I’ve had. When I saw a blogging friend post pictures of it one day I was truly in awe and I cannot explain how happy and sad I was at the same time. Happy because it brought back many wonderful memories and sad because I truly miss traveling around the world. Those were the days.

Photobucket

Of course now that we are nearer to the States than France we can choose the various places in USA for our skiing trips. Telluride Ski Resort was pretty laid back and it has it’s own town where you can find everything you need… from food, lodging, shopping or any kind of outdoor activities you choose to do. The Gondolas are free to use and you just hop onto it and go to town anytime you want.

Lugging our ski equipment for our trip wasn’t really my ideal vacation and if you are like me and bringing the whole family along it only make sense to use Telluride ski rentals. They have the right fitting equipment, even boots, for you and your entire family or group of friends going for your trip; junior size are covered too. Making arrangement to have your ski equipment reserved or delivered is so easy, you can do it online or call them toll free. Rest assured that they really are the professionals and they come equipped to outfit you perfectly for your ski vacation. When you rent from Ski Butlers, customer service doesn’t end when you pay for the rental, they will also assist you with any technical problems you may encounter. Wherever you are, they offer the best and the latest ski equipment and their prices are quite reasonable by my standards. If you know me, I always go for the best deals.
