I'm still here

So .. I survived the whole Bugaboo Bee episode. Ok, I still feel bad that I went against his wishes buying the stroller. It is rather expensive and Charlotte IS already 20 months old.

But ..

The stroller is awesome. Having used other similar prams in the same price category before, it is a dream to handle. And not heavy like the Phil and Teds Dash. I've sold 2 of my prams so far .. Another 2 to go. Haha.

I reckon I can use the Bee for another year or so then sell it off. No regrets buying it at all.

It's already coming to end of Sept. another 90 odd days till Christmas. My favourite holiday of the year ! I have done a bit of shopping here and there but I really must get a move on.

Can't wait to shop, shop, shop!

The Hubby will kill me ..

Yes, he will. I'm pretty sure of it. I bought something he explicitly said not to buy.

But, yeap .. I went and bought it anyway.

Sigh.

And now the said item is hiding in my vehicle.

Until the weekend. When he will obviously see it. And I will have to tell him then.

Die la.

I should've told him straight off on Tuesday. But noooooo ..

Now, I'm gonna be dead. Or a divorcee.

Hahaha. So what did I buy ?

A Bugaboo Bee pram. For mah bebe. Look how happy she looks sitting in it. Bestie asked how she looked happier .. I said, ok ok I am happier. Hahaha!

The Hubby is trying to kill me

This I know for sure .. During the one week school holiday, the man was on leave for the last 2 weekdays - Thursday and Friday. He opted to bring us all for a walk. No, not a walk. More like a hike. And once again we weren't prepared. The girls were in dresses and I was in my new pants. Yoga pants .. (not that I do yoga mind you .. I just like the pants cutting) .. And FitFlops. With my handbag. Apparel I can assure you is not suitable for traipsing around in the jungle.

Anyway, we went for the HSBC TreeTop Walk. It was tough for someone like me .. you know, erm, not skinny and more of a air-conditioned mall roaming person.

The hike was tiring. There were steps and slopes. And some parts, I had to carry Charlotte who isn't lightweight either .. Blardy 11.6kg.

When we finally reached the bridge .. It was really very pretty. I wouldn't say it was worth the hike up but it was lovely. Then the worst part came .. Getting back down. I swear I almost just threw myself on the ground and told my kids to go on without me. Hahahaha.I think I made my kids push me up slope at some points .. hahaha .. good times. I told them, it was either they push me or leave me behind. Claudia and Lauren dutifully obliged.

And towards the end on the way down, Charlotte fell asleep in the sling. She became DEADWEIGHT. Bugger baby.I don't know she could sleep in that humidity ...

Anyway, we all really had fun hiking with Daddy .. And spending all that time together. Here are some pics.

We went to Upper Pierce Reservoir first ... love this pic

Here we are about to start the walk ...

This was a LIE .. it wasn't 300m to the TreeTop walk ... A LIE !!

 

FINALLY !!

Daddy with his littlest girl

Love this too !

 

 

Sick as a dog ..

I've never understood that phrase. Sick as a dog ? What dog ? Whose dog? My dogs don't seem to every get sick and they're old now. They don't get the flu or a fever or a cough ..

I've been sick since last Sunday. High fever for 2 days then continued being sick for another few more days .. Sniffling and generally feeling like crap. Then the worse thing happened. My throat became so sore .. I woke up on Wednesday in a lot of pain. It felt like there was a bunch of needles in my throat. The medication I was prescribed worked somewhat but it's already Saturday and while my throat isn't as bad as it was on Wednesday, it's at least better.

Then last night, I started coughing.

Man, I feel like dying. I've been sick since Sunday night .. And it's going to be Sunday night soon ... Making me sick for one whole damn week.

I'm just happy that my kids seem to have escaped this dreaded sickness for now. Hope my throat gets well soon too. I want to eat chilli !!
