on the merry-go-round ...

yes ... O-boy and me ...
and no ....
it's not the nice ones one finds in a circus or fair ...

we are on a BUG merry-go-round ...
it started with O-boy having sniffles + cough the day after the hubs leaves for reservist ...
few days later he gets better ...
then the momma started coughing ...
twas bad ... had to rely on my inhalers ...
by then ... O-boy was back to his nOrmal O-self ...
we travelled back to my mum's place ...
last Sunday O-boy and Q-tie went swimming at the club ...
early hours of Monday ... he woke up delirious ...
his lil body was hOt ... but he was shivering ...
fed him meds and sponged a whole lot ...
his temp has been yo-yo'ing the past 3 days ...and he has a cough that is painful to hear ...
sigh ...

i so wanna get off this not-so-merry-go-round !

and to make matters worse ...
my army guy is coming back one day later than the promised date ...
that deserves a huge B-O-O !!!


on a lighter note ... we met this lil one ...
dee-jay is nearly 6 months old now ...
she's my bro's #2 ...
ain't she a charmer ...

tell me .....

this doesn't just happen to me ...
he's turning 4 in a few months ....
already showing signs of "fake-smile-itis"

everytime i point the cam at him ...either i get a talk to the hand pose,
sticks out his tongue
or this ...
a fake plastered on smile ... sigh ...

WHAT is a momma to do ...

catch him unawares ?
boy is too fast to achieve this feat !

buy a supa-fast-auto cam ?
hb will not cross over to the dark side and buy a Canon !

take a gazillion shots of said boy (and pray hard that one may be a decent one) ?
yeah, been there ... done that ! Editing sucks !

anyhow ... decided not to fight this particular habit of his ...
even made a layout ...
hehehehe ...
am so gonna drag this one out sometime in the future

Courage does not always roar.
Sometimes it is the quiet voice at the end of the day saying "I will try again tomorrow".

As we were driving home on the ECP tonite
the hubs notices my sullen mood ....

hubs: why so quiet ?
me: feeling kinda low
(in my mind-monday blues already?!?!)
me: i need something sweet to cheer me up ...
from the back seat O-boy says ... "that would be ME!!"
:)
that boy makes my heart smile ...

just had to scrap something after a tiring week at work ... sigh!


gonna squeeze me some more sweetness
to help me get through tmr

7 ate 9 ...

One evening while tri-scootering in the condo compound ... he stops ...

O : "Mummy, why is 6 afraid of 7 ??
Me : emmmm ... I don't know baby ? (and pretends to not know this joke) ...
O : cos 7 ate 9, 7-8-9,7-8-9,7-8-9 !!! (+ proceeds to shriek with laughter)
Me : Oh, I get it ! Good one babe ! 7 must have been hungry huh?

Ofcourse I was talking to no one then, cos all I saw was O's back as he scootered away.



Amazing what they learn on tv nowadays, huh?


Happily reporting the mundane ... till later, N
