i'm finally in a better mood to write. The past week was simply catastrophic. Jude was DOWN with runny nose and cough. then it was my ovulation week; a terrible bout of PMS striked me like that tornado striked at Kansas. Then Jude's constipation problem came back again..

ARRRGGgghhhh... I hate that everything came at the same time and my morale was really low. We couldn't visit the playground, couldn't attend playclass or go anywhere lest Jude got reinfected or pass the virus to other kids. And the weather wasn't nice either. The poor team of mama and son was confined at home for one Long, Gloomy, Miserable week.

but thankfully, he is recovering. I'm reluctant to start him on a stronger dosage of antibiotics, so i told the doctor to prescribe the mildest type, even though it is taking a long time for him to recover. it just scares me that he's been consuming antibiotics every month. no good at all.

best of all, last night and this morning, he did his long awaited poopoo business. Good riddance!! no words can describe how relief i feel now. Can't believe how a malfunction of nature can cause me so much distress.

and about my PMS, well, it happens every month.

To all of Jude's fans and ah yees, thanks for the concern and encouraging words!

While being cooped up at home, the boy must have picked up some cleaning tips from his hardworking and dutiful mama.







Did i mention that piece of cloth he's holding is my Bee Dees hanky???

Anyway, i feel so good today and coincidentally, Jude woke up very early, so i decided to pack the whole family down to Botanical Gardens for a morning walk. It took us one whole hour of continuous walking from the tanglin core to the bt timah core and ending with Macs Breakfast at Serene Centre. Jude wasn't into faunas and floras. He's only interested in jumping into all the mini waterfalls and the lakes. Other than that, the whole walk was just whining.. whining.. whining from the little brat, cos he wanted to be carried all the time.

And when I asked him to point out the Flower, he pointed at the Leaf. aiyah.
