Mamapumpkin???

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.



She'd love to hear from you : Mamapumpkin at gmail dot com

Preschooler obsessed with Transformers

tee-and-her-transformer

I’m sure this is all influence from the boys at school but Tee conned her Nana into getting her her first Transformer last week, Bumble Bee, her favourite Transformer, after watching the movie. I’ll tell you something strange. One night at 4am, she awoke crying. Jolted out of bed, I asked her in a very concerned manner what the matter was. Her reply?

“I miss my Transformers…..” as more tears streamed onto her already wet yellow bumble bee pillow.

*Mamapumpkin rolls eyeballs AND head 360 degrees a few times*

Did I do this?
“OK, go back to sleep now.” as I turned over to face the other side with a pillow on my head.
Or this?
“Awww……you’ll see it tomorrow, ok? You can watch the movie on DVD again? Don’t worry, everything will be OK tomorrow.” with lots of kisses and cuddles.

The good thing about the toy is that it forces her to think and figure out how to transform the damn thing and back again. And just to boost my pregnant ego, I was better at it than the Hubs was *grins*

Transformers 2 with a 4.5 year old girl

Tee was a huge success at the movies last night. Together with her Daddy, who was ever so brave in bringing his precious girl to watch the very loud and scary Transformers, they managed to watch it together and thoroughly enjoyed their night out with pop corn, orange juice, breakfast cereal and lots of Oreo cookies. Except towards the last 5 minutes when it was approaching 11pm and Tee got over-tired despite the afternoon nap.

She began pining for her missing Mommy (who was having a darn good time with some ladies without kids!) and started to sob. Not the true suffering kind of cry but a ‘manja‘ kind of sob when the Hubs smsed Mommy to inform her that her Autobot was crying for her. Oh bugger!

After a great play, there I was with some women at Bar M in Solaris pretending to be 10 years younger than we really were, enjoying cheese fondue and some coffee after a full meal at La Risata, dessert et al, enjoying good conversation…. and I had to break up the party just after midnight. Rushed home like a maniac to find a swollen eyed girl still in her outside clothes refusing to wash up and get into pyjamas until Mommy was home.

The moment I swung the door open, her face lit like twinkling lights and I could tell she had been crying lots from the bulging eyes but that smile of glee she gave me was just pure heart melt. She was so, soooooooo happy to see me and likewise.

I was actually hoping that she’d passed out from exhaustion and I’d get to do my own thing past midnight but she had enough stamina to wait up that late. Anyway, got her cleaned up and sent to bed. She was out in a flash.

Fast forward till 2.30am whilst blogging, I suddenly felt queasy and then had some diarrhea followed by some violent vomiting!!! Oh My f@#*ing God!!! I prayed so hard that this wasn’t a 3rd trimester thing as I’d read that some women suffer from 3rd trimester nausea. I had puked at least 3 litres of fluids all over the guest bathroom water closet when the Hubs woke up in shock as he’d heard the noises which I tried very hard muffling.

He was a real sweetheart. Cleaned up the mess, got me water and sorted me out. I was so ill, I felt like fainting. Till now I don’t know if it was my meds, the food or just one of those things. But this morning, I was limp and listless. Probably close to dehydration so I forced myself to sip all morning. I’m fine now. Phew!

So now, Tee knows the Transformer story, she knows the names of them robots and she has passed a milestone in her life. We can now take her for real movies – YAY!!! FINALLY!!!
