I Want To Slide Down The Rainbow

This morning as we were having breakfast together, Sherilyn was as usual doing some writing and coloring. That’s the only way I can keep this hyper-active brat seated still for at least an hour to finish her breakfast.

Sherilyn was first practising her writing skills and kept writing the letters ‘H’ and ‘V’. Then, she drew a rainbow.

Is that a rainbow Sherilyn? I asked Sherilyn.

Yes, and I want to slide down the rainbow, said Sherilyn.

Me : How are you going to slide down the rainbow?

Sher : I will climb up the stool.

Me : You can’t do that coz the rainbow is very high up in the sky.

Sher : Then I will climb up with a stairs (she meant ladder)

Me  : You can’t coz the rainbow is really very high up in the sky.  Nobody can reach the rainbow.

Sher : Then I will ask daddy to carry me. (Daddy is always the hero in Sher’s eyes)

Such innocent words and imagination from a 3 year old toddler.  She really thinks she can reach the rainbow and the moon.

Effective Blister Relief

Do you get blisters on your toes and heels whenever you wear pointed high heels? I will surely get them when I wear my high heels, especially pointed ones and thankfully, I don’t have to wear high heels anymore. I still have a few pairs of pointed high heels which have been sitting quietly in my shoe cabinet eversince I left the corporate world.  One is a Salvatore Ferragamo heels, which has very pointed tip and the other pair is a Alain Delon heels. Should I wear them again, I must get myself some Blister Relief patches from ENGO. These patches are not applied to our skin but to the footwear and insoles. I read that these blister relief patches are sweat-proof and provide long lasting blister-free protection and relief. I should also stick a couple of these patches to my running shoes when I resume running again in a few months’ time.

Still Dragging My Feet

After reading Chin Nee’s post on her early preparation for the arrival of her twins (she’s only 23 weeks preggers), I realized that I haven’t done anything yet and I am already 36 weeks preggers this week! So this week or next week, I have to pack my hospital bag, dig out Aly and Sher’s old baby clothes and have them washed, buy some XS diapers, buy a new foldable mattress for the confinement lady as she will be sleeping with me in my room, buy some breast pads and buy a small tin of newborn formula milk, just in case I have no breastmilk to feed my baby! I also need to remind hubby to re-adjust the mattress base in the playpen so that it’s higher, for the baby to sleep during the day. Hubby has already bought me a bottle of Yomeishu and dozens of Brands Chicken Essence. My dad has also bought me a few bottles of Dom (which I hate to drink). What else needs to be done?

Do You Allow Your Maid To Share Food And Cutlery With Your Kids?

One thing that I really dislike my maid doing is that she likes to secretly share food with my gals. Though I have told her several times not to feed the kids with her food, she is still doing it – with the same fork and spoon that she uses. Yesterday, she did it again (coz Alycia told me out of guilt) when I wasn’t looking and I got so pissed off that I told my maid off. C’mon, how unhygienic can that be, sharing food and cutlery with someone who’s not your family member. Even I hardly feed my kids food with the same fork and spoon that I am using. Sicknesses can easily be spread through saliva and I don’t even know my maid’s health background. She could have TB or some severe sicknesses in the past. Maybe I should discontinue my maid having dinner with us together on the dining table. Do you allow your maid to feed your kids with the food that she eats and with the same cutleries that she uses?

Unique Personalized Baby Gifts

Many of the baby gifts that I received after I delivered Alycia and Sherilyn were items that I already had or items that I could not find any use for my babies. They are pre-packaged baby clothes, baby bottles, rattles, bowls and cutlery for toddlers, baby bags and pacifiers. I think the best gifts for the baby and mummy are still cash or gold! Of course, I would also love to receive cute personalized baby gifts with the name of my baby on the gift. I’ve seen some very lovely and unique personalized baby gifts at this baby gifts website called The Nest Baby Shop. If you want to buy baby gifts for your close friend’s baby, do check out this store.

Leg Cramps During Pregnancy

I had my 4th attack of leg cramp last night. Leg cramps are by far the most painful ordeal I’ve ever experienced, apart from suffering from a blocked milk duct which caused a terrible breast engorgement for 1 day and several months of painful Carpal Tunnel Syndrome after I had delivered Alycia. Luckily hubby was next to me in bed to help massage my leg to release the tensed up / hardened muscles. If I were alone, I think I’ll scream myself in pain till the muscles release by itself, which may take up to a minute. My Ob&G said that the leg cramp is caused by lack of calcium. I wonder how that can be coz I’ve been popping 600mg of Calcium tabs and drinking a glass of fresh milk everyday, apart from eating Calcium rich food. Did you suffer from leg cramps too during your pregnancy?

You Raised Me Up And Brought Me Down

I recently read from the newspapers that a man in his 60s died whilst having a hot steamy session with a hooker in a budget hotel. The reason for his death was not reported in the papers but I guess this cheapskate dirty old man must have bought some fake little blue pills to raise himself up. What many men do not know is that they should always buy genuine drugs, whether they want the little blue pill or the mighty Tadalafil to help them get some enjoyment. Many men think they can scrimp on some fake stuff, not knowing the dangers of fake drugs.
