….Talk is cheap….take it with a pinch of salt!
OK, so for the longest time, people HAVE regarded me as one. Many of my friends from the past call me the walking directory. Some call me the walking encyclopaedia although those must’ve had serious head concussions at some time or other.
I generally want to help people and through this blog, I get to sometimes do that. And even not through this blog, I still do that. But imagine when soooooooo many people come to me for help, or to ask the same question? Do you think I have the time to answer every single email? Or return every phone call?
I am a full time Mom without any help. The answer is no, it can get slightly tiresome helping people because I really should be helping myself first. If I helped all the people who came to me for help, Tee wouldn’t get any attention, the dishes would start piling, the laundry would fill the floor, the dust would form a dust carpet, the food in the fridge would get stale, and I would stink of ‘no time syndrome’. I almost already do.
Give me a break, please.
Having said that, I am not so heartless. By all means, ask me for help. But please understand too that I will help if I can help. And give me some credit. Some appreciation would be nice.
Once upon a time, I designed buildings and interiors of corporate offices and on the rare occasion, homes. Now, I clean poop and am student of a patience management course. From the drawing board as a London Architect to the realities of Motherhood, I have 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 me, 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. *sniff* Someone, please get me a chair.......
I write anything that comes out of my head, mostly without thinking first, which almost always gets me into trouble (according to my husband, also known as the love of my life.......on a good day).
My pet monkeys drive me towards challenge after challenge, 24/7.
Gotta love it.
