Taking life risks

Posted on October 11, 2009October 11, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Last week, I asked the Hubs if my car had any petrol, seeing it is his duty to fill my car up with gas. He nodded a reassuring yes which made me assume I had a full tank. I needed a full tank as I had a busy.......click to learn what next.

Hiring good staff

Posted on October 11, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

The Hubs has been very stressed at work lately because he has one particular staff that has been on 13 MCs this year and the year is not even over. The limit for MCs in a year is 14 days and coincidentally, this staff always takes his MCs.......click to learn what next.

Documenting children’s milestones

Posted on October 5, 2009October 4, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

The Hubs has gone all paternal ever since T2 came along. He is pissed at me because I have no idea where Tee's baby book is and wants me to start documenting T2's progress. You'd think he was vying for this year's Father of the Year award. Shit,.......click to learn what next.

The scoop on Grandma Panties

I visited my Obgyn today to remove some stitches from my C-sec wound. It was an unplanned visit. We had gone to the hospital to check on the baby but my Obgyn’s nurses spotted me and informed me that instead of coming back again, I might as well.......click to learn what next.

Housing Loan / Mortgage Refinancing

Posted on July 27, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

So what does a pregnant lady get tasked to do whilst tapping her fingers sitting at home waiting for a baby to come out? Research the best refinancing housing loan options.... Bugger!!! That's what the Hubs has assigned me to do since we're paying way more interest rates.......click to learn what next.

Learning to Manage Stress

Posted on July 24, 2009July 16, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Whilst we’re on the subject of stress, I can understand why my husband is stressed these days because he not only works really hard as an employee, father and husband FULL TIME, he hardly ever gets any time to himself to do the things he likes doing. By.......click to learn what next.

The Hubs’ dragon temper

Posted on July 23, 2009July 16, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

My dearest husband, fondly admired for his fierce dedication to family life, has a very explosive temper. Nobody who didn’t know him any better would expect this and in fact, many of my friends don’t believe it, but it’s true! Ever since I met him (more than 10.......click to learn what next.

Holiday Invitations in October and December

Posted on July 10, 2009July 6, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

As lucky as we are, we have been invited to 2 holidays this year but unfortunately, they both happen to be after the baby is born. This is fine by me but the Hubs, being as anally retentive as he is, at this point in time, refuses to.......click to learn what next.

Calculating Monthly Expenses

Posted on July 8, 2009July 6, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

My CFO insists that I record every single penny I spend and I agree with him because it is an extremely good habit for knowing where the money goes, instead of flippantly splurging on unnecessary purchases only to regret later over spilt milk. What I do is keep.......click to learn what next.

Daddy’s Little Girl, I am not!

Every morning, the Hubs drives Tee to school in a rush. This little girl, she takes an entire 40 minutes at least, to get herself ready with breakfast and all. From our place, he has to make a slight detour to her school and then zoom off to.......click to learn what next.

Ladies Night Out

Posted on June 28, 2009January 22, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

I'm having the urge to post pregnant face pictures of myself of late - perhaps it is an exercise to put on record how much weight I get to lose after this baby comes out. And seeing that I look like a maid most of the time, it's.......click to learn what next.

Sleepy Pregnancy Massage

Last night, I begged the Hubs to give me an oil rub as I was so stressed from the lack of sleep. The Hubs, the love of my life, obliged. Well, under duress, as I had threatened to hump him had he hesitated for a second. And believe.......click to learn what next.

Developing the genius in your child: Smart girls climb trees! Many people commend me on the way that I bring T1 up because she is doing so well as a kid but seriously, little do they know that I am a lazy ass mother. Like SERIOUSLY lazy ass.......I.......click to learn what next.

The Hubs dilly-dallying habit

Posted on November 12, 2007January 25, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

There have been talks of bringing in my workdesk into my bedroom because with me working in the study at night, Tee invariably wakes up several times throughout the night and this eats into the precious little time I already have. For this reason, I have been working on.......click to learn what next.
