Blogging everyday

Posted on May 22, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

If I had my way, I'd be blogging everyday but because I have to care for T2 on a full time basis and she hardly ever sleeps, this is almost impossible. Yesterday, we spent the day at Nana's and T2 only slept for half an hour the entire.......click to learn what next.

It's now been 2 months since my Filipino helper decided to give me a birthday present. I will not lie. Life has been tough. Very tough. Tougher still because I have what the Doctor calls Stress Induced Asthma (on top of my normal asthma). And when your baby.......click to learn what next.

Grumblings….

Why is it that whenever I have tons of assignments to do and purposefully load myself up with caffeine in preparation for burning the midnight oil just to make a measly USD80 (of which I am desperate for, mind you), my baby will undoubtedly decide to find every.......click to learn what next.

See? My shoes matches my dress SO WELL. Last night, I left a crying Tee at 8pm and zoooooooomed out at Road Runner speed, slamming the door behind me and the last image I had was of the Hub's carrying T2 with a worried, stressed out look. I.......click to learn what next.

Ladies Night Out

Posted on April 17, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Tonight, I can't wait to attend a Ladies Night Out with the girls screeching singing our hearts out. It has been so fun dressing up and putting make-up on, strutting around town in high heels. I feel like ME again and no longer the maid. For lunch today,.......click to learn what next.
