A Mother's Monologue

Getting some exercise

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Last Sunday, I kicked everyone out of bed and TWO HOURS LATER, we were walking the park and making a good sweat. I think I shall make this a weekly affair early on a Sunday morning. Sorry, God. Now that the Hubs is at work, I'm finding it.......click to learn what next.

I love my blog!

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Yes, I do! Looking back over the years, my blog documents how I have evolved as a mother, it documents T1's history and all the things she has said and done (and all those cute pictures!), it is such an inspiring piece of work, if I may say.......click to learn what next.

T2’s 1st Birthday

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

T2's 1st birthday was a simple family affair with only the few of us. Mommy really didn't have any energy to organise a full blown birthday party but we had 2 lovely birthday cakes of which I haven't even had time to post photos!!! See how backdated I.......click to learn what next.

TM Unifi

Posted on November 1, 2010November 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Well so much for TM Unifi!!! I haven't had internet access since Thursday (almost 6 whole days now!!!) and guess what? Nobody from their team can solve the problem. We have called and called and put on hold with the longest being 15 minutes till we hung up.......click to learn what next.

Recruitment of the right candidate

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

When the Hubs was unemployed, he received many offers from other architectural firms in the market but unfortunately, local architectural firms here pay pittance and there are hardly any more foreign firms in town. His firm was practically the last one standing and they had the highest paid.......click to learn what next.

Views from my Yantarasri Resort bedroom window

Posted on November 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I've been feeling rather blah lately. T2's not eating again and wakes several times a night (probably from hunger!) but every time I offer her a bottle of formula or food of any sort, she refuses it. I'm tired. So I leave you with some green, natural images.......click to learn what next.

Adopting a child

Posted on October 27, 2010October 27, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

It has always been a mission of mine to adopt a child. Ever since I was a teenager and oh, please.....it has nothing to do with aspiring to be an Angelina Jolie (although I do like that chick). Unfortunately, when I threw the idea across to my husband,.......click to learn what next.

Yooohoooo……Where are you???

Posted on October 27, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

In hibernation, that is. I would like to apologise to those of you who would like to purchase some of my stuff and have queries but I have gone into hibernation. This means, I am not available. I deliver my most sincere apologies. Other forces are needing me.......click to learn what next.

Back to the Grind of being an SAHM

Posted on October 26, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Oh yes, it was short lived, wasn't it? I'm now back to cleaning poop, spending all day trying to get some food into T2's mouth (which is a BITCH) and finding hidden cheerios under my couch and last week's baby bites under the bed *sigh*. Then I have.......click to learn what next.

Engineering jobs high in demand

Posted on October 24, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

The latest list of wanted people in Australia includes engineers, architects and doctors. If you're looking for an engineering job in Australia, you're most likely to find one. Furthermore, some of the Australian States may actually sponsor you if you are an engineer in order to give you.......click to learn what next.

When your Doctor doesn’t believe you

Posted on October 23, 2010October 23, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

This morning, bright and early, we picked T1 up from Nana's and brought her for her 6 year old booster jab. Don't ask me what it was for because I am hopeless at things like this. Which is kind of SCARY because how do I protect my children.......click to learn what next.

Removing a deep Blackhead

Posted on October 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Honestly now, does anyone know how? Because I've had one deeply embedded beside my lip which just won't budge and it's been there for a few months now. I've tried pressing it out, it just wouldn't come out!!! What shall I do? Have a facial? I can just.......click to learn what next.

Cranking it out at 4am

Posted on October 21, 2010February 18, 2022 by Mamapumpkin

Unfortunately, despite having an all day sleep in with a screaming baby, Mama's got work to do and that is why at the unGodly hour of 4am, I am still awake typing crap. My brain is in the spin cycle of the washing machine and I honestly wish.......click to learn what next.

Baby who doesn’t eat

Posted on October 21, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I really don't know what to do with my baby. She is STILL not into food. She used to eat so well at one point and now, she's just snacking a little here and there. She seems heavier although I haven't really weighed her in a month and.......click to learn what next.

Buying a good high impact sports bra

Now that we're back from Chiang Mai, I've sworn to get onto that running mode on the treadmill - double time!!! Well, that is after my sore throat and flu clears. One mistake we did in Chiang Mai was not paying attention to our hot and cold balance........click to learn what next.
