Oh what a week it has been… So busy with school holidays and all and full of drama not to mention. It felt as if I didn’t breath at all! I’m actually totally knackered, thought I’ll just go collapse in bed but couldn’t sleep… :-| Maybe my brain is still running at full speed… I’m just thinking back now trying to recall what I was so busy with but I just can’t. Isn’t that weird?

Let’s see … last Sunday was our wedding anniversary (still not blogged about it yet), then was a free slimming session that my dear Joshua got for me (blog about that later), then was the dentist on the 10th (very painful) in between all that we had a broken car window, Emme has a flu (resulted in even less sleep, as if that’s possible, for me), Aiden became a mohawk (yes you read it right), picnic at park, Emme’s 3D hand and foot sculpture and Caitlyn was bitten/scratched by a crazy dog and all the usual running about so that the house continue running… Phew!!

These days I’m just surviving everyday… I would say in a blur. Most if the time I feel like a self program robot. I key in what are the out of the usual things that I need to do, incorporate it to my usual cycle and run the program… changing diapers, feed the baby, grocery shopping… in between all that someone will need a hug/fall sick/backside pain, head pain…. etc..etc… I don’t usually whine in my blog. In fact I make it a point not to in the past. I was afraid that I might be revealing too much or write something that might hurt someone’s feelings… blah,blah,blah.. Most of all I didn’t want my kids to read it (if they read my blog) in future. But lately after reading a fellow Mommy blogger’s blog, she is totally HONEST on her blog and is NOT afraid of what she blogs about. I thought to myself… “Wow! She is so brave..” When I spoke to her she just simply said, ‘ I don’t care!! It’s my blog what!’  So true… And as for the kids, she says.. then they’ll know that their Mommy is also human. **grin**

That’s also so true.. Sometimes I read some other bloggers blogs… All nice and rosey.. I thought to myself, “What!!? Are they on Prozac or what?”

So I thought about it for a long time… What kind of blogger do I want to be? Am I gonna be honest with my entries? Am I brave enough to be totally honest? Hmmm… I still don’t have the answer. But I’ve decided that I will, try.. to be as honest as possible. It’s kinda scary for me… since I know, when I’m being totally honest, there will be prices that I’ll have to pay… :-(  But like what my friend said… and if my purpose for blogging is so that Aiden, Caitlyn and now Emme can read about it later, Mommy will have to be more ‘human’… I don’t want to be like those Mommies who pose to be like a super duper Mom where everyday is rainbows, cotton candies and happy pills…

Yesterday Cait was bitten by a dog!! Yes..

We were at my aunt’s apartment in Bukit Utama after a whole day of rushing about. So what happened?

The 2 maids (mine and my aunt’s) went upstairs to my other uncle’s house to get an extra gas tong from there as they have ran out. And they took Caitlyn along with them. I was feeding the baby back at my Aunt’s apartment. I don’t know how long they were gone because I fell asleep while feeding the baby totally flat from picnic and 3D sculptures, just all the rushing and moving the herd around… When my aunt, mom and grandma came back from SS2 I woke up… Not long after that, the whole apartment was abuzz with commotion. My mother came rushing into my cousin sister’s room (where I was feeding the baby) carrying a screaming Caitlyn saying that she was bitten by a dog!! I swear I could feel my heart tighten that very instance… I was bracing myself for the worst from the way she was crying and how guilty my maid looked! When I saw the bite mark, I felt a mix of emotions… I don’t know which came first or if it all happened simultaneously… It was ‘sum tong’ (heart pain), relieved (coz it not as bad as I expected) and then I’m sure the last was anger. Now sitting here writing about it I think I know lah.. It was relieved, ‘sum tong’, and then anger…  This is what the bite mark looked like yesterday…

Bitten!!

What an irresponsible pet owner!! Apparently according to my uncle that lives on the same floor, the dog has bitten my aunt twice!! And she (the owner) never bother to lock up the dog… Stupid or not?

So after the maids brought Caitlyn back, I asked them what actually happened? I thought Caitlyn was playing with the dog and somehow aggravated it or something… But no, my aunt’s maid said that they were walking towards my uncle’s house ad suddenly this crazy dog ran out and attacked  Caitlyn!! I was about to take Cait out to see a doctor and to check if she will be needing a jab (just in case!!) and the dog owner SMSes my aunt to apologize and explain what happened… On top of that she said that ‘he’ (the dog) never attack kids… :-|  At this point I had a million outburst of profanities in my head but had to keep calm lah… And she said that she has already cleaned and applied some ointment to the wound but if we decide to take her to the doctors, please bill her for it… HAH!! BUT OF COURSE!! The doctors’ bill is nothing ok… What about he trauma my daughter went through? How to calculate that?

But I really have to time for her lah.. My aunt quickly drove us to the nearest clinic to have the wound checked. The doctor examined the wound and  said that it’s not a bite mark but a scratch but it’s pretty deep… So the nurse cleaned the wound and applied some medicine. Caitlyn as to be on antibiotics for 3 days but no jab necessary.

Of course needless to say, our little princess got major attention and manja from everyone that night lah… I think she was more shocked then in pain.. She has always loved animals and have no fear of them… I hope this incident won’t changed that.. If not it’ll be such a shame.

Cleaned and dressed

Nails

This actually happened last week when I was going for my nails appointment but did not blog it as I was waiting to scrap this LO first… And as usual, I got caught up with 2000 things lah!!

ALL I HAVE TO SAY IS… Cait has definitely got my genes in her and she’s really my gurly!

So, she woke up one morning while I was getting dressed to go out and she asked me where to…

Cait: Mommy, where you go?

Moi: Do my nails… (hoping she’ll just go back to sleep…)

BUT NO….

Cait: (Got up and jumping on the bed) I wan do nails too!! I wan do nails too!!

Moi: **roll eyes** Okay… But you’ll have to mandi and get ready NOW!

Cait: OK!! Mei-mei mati (mandi) ah…  Mommy, you wait for mei-mei ah…

With that she leaped from the bed and out of the room screaming for the maid to ‘mati’ her, by the way… She cannot pronounce ‘mandi’ (bath/shower) she says ‘mati’ (die).

Cait: Kakak!!!! I wan mati! I wan mati!!    ** :-D **

My maid was very surprise, coz it usually takes her about 15 mins to coax Caitlyn to have her bath… :-| Even she was laughing at Caitlyn… Our little princess was SO good we were actually out of the house in 20mins. That’s record time. In the car while I was driving us to there I could see that she was deep in thoughts and she was looking at her nails… Then suddenly she said to me,

Cait: Mommy…. I wan purple color.

Moi: (Want to tease her a bit) Purple! That’s nice but I thought you like pink? Why not choose pink?

Cait: (frowning ..) NO!! I WAN purple!! I like purple!

Moi: *giggle giggle** Ok, ok… purple.

And she was happy… :-) Then I was running through my ‘To Do’ list in my head and remembered that she needed a new pair of swimming suit, and thought maybe we can drop by Adam’s kids as they are having a sale.

Moi: Baby, maybe later after nails we can go look for a new swimming ‘baju’ for you?

Cait: (she was very annoyed, shook her head, frowned at me)  NO!! I dou wan swimming….. Spoil my nails!!!

And she actually said all this in a ‘are you stupid’ kinda tone. Now it’s really funny, every time I think back I’m laughing… :-D But at that moment, I swear to you I was stunned. She actually had me speechless! I don’t know where on earth she picked it up from… I know, most of you will say she must have got it from me… but really… I don’t think so. I must have said something like that before but not towards swimming because I have not jumped into a pool with them for a long time. So how on earth can she put those two things together? I mean… like really….. **insert roll eyes here**

As if that not enough… After we got home that day, she was all tired but VERY happy with her purple nails (can posing for this photo for me)… she had new nap late.. I woke her up for dinner  and guess what was the first thing she looked at when she opened her eyes?

YES!!

Her nails….

then said “I dou wan eat… Mei-mei not hawgry…”

A few days after our nails episode, we were out having lunch with Daddy. We bought some ‘siew pou’ and egg tarts. She didn’t want any noodles that we were eating so I offered her some egg tarts as I know she likes them very much…

Moi: You want soe ‘tan tart’ (egg tart)?

Cait: **Very happy, clapping hands all..**  Yes!! I like ‘bun tart’ !!

:-D   Mommy and Daddy speechless again!!
