A Mother’s Monologue

….Talk is cheap….take it with a pinch of salt!

Once upon a time, she designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, she cleans poop and is student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, she has certainly learned many lessons in humility. And then others.....

To succeed in the corporate world, first succeed with your kid as the happy boss. Seriously.

This blog is about Mamapumpkin: A crazy, demented Mom who cares full time, alone, without any help, for an even crazier preschooler AND a baby with a boob addiction problem.

She writes anything that comes out of her head, mostly without thinking first, which almost always gets her into trouble (according to her husband, whom she considers the love of her life.......on a good day).

Her 2 pet monkeys drive her towards challenge after challenge, 24/7. Day after Day.....and by the way, her parents are Muslim, her in-laws Buddhist, she's Catholic and her Hubs, an Atheist. She's thinking her kids should be Hindu, just to complete the rainbow religion cycle.

Gotta love it.

No more birthday parties from here on

By Mamapumpkin, on November 19th, 2008

Yes, we decided last night, the Hubs and I. What would really make him happy, and me too really, is that we no longer attend the many birthday parties that we have taken Tee to in the past. She will just have to adjust and learn that we cannot attend the crazy 30 or so birthday parties every year, maybe we’ll attend 2-3 parties next year but that’s it. No more.

This year, birthday parties have exhausted us. Our family life is suffering because of all the time spent at birthday parties. No more.

If you’re planning to invite us for a birthday party, be prepared that we will decline. It’s nothing personal. We just need more time to chill at home. It is our priority right now.

We spent an enormous amount of time and money at birthday parties this year. No more.
