Enough Already!

With Summer comes a restless three year old who is awake before 7:00 am and is knocking on my bedroom door. It dawned on me  that I had to find a way to channel Arielle's energy so that we both wouldn't tear our hairs out. While shopping yesterday, I decided to buy a few everyday items to keep Arielle busy; straws, finger paints, flour, food coloring. With the help of Google and some worksheets, I hope to keep her busy and make her wiser. It is essential that she's more intelligent after the summer break. So, I drew up a table so we could establish a routine for work, and then play. Today, we revised some of what she learnt in Literacy last term; phonic sounds s,a,t, and i. Then we read some words. and we decided to snip at some colorful straws and make a patterned necklace. It was so much fun for her.




I wish you all the best in keeping your LO busy at this time.

Is Life really that dramatic?

Just yesterday evening, I watched an episode from the fourth season of the medical drama, House. Dr Gregory House sought after a patient with a difficult prognosis in order to cut down one or two doctors from the list of candidates in a job candidate selection process in the hospital.  The dying  patient,a rock band member  and drug junkie seemed like a happy man. However,T female doctors however ,two doctors developed a strong inclination towards him; one was of hatred,while the other was of love. The two doctors clashed regularly on the worth or value of the patient who cared less whether he would die or live.  In addressing the issue, Dr House said '....there  is no Saint without a past or a sinner without a future....' and it did struck me,that as humans,from being infants to being elderly,we will inevitably hit a bump or two on our journey to accomplishing whatever we want out of life. Whether it is being a cheerleader, an athlete, a doctor, or simply  just getting out o

Help, I've had a Wardrobe Malfunction!

I totally had a faux-pas this weekend. Alright,it was not a wardrobe malfunction like a nipple slip or whale tail flash,but it was an embarrassing time for me. I have had my fair share of socially awkward and nasty moments in the past, but it had been a while. I had to go for an event where there was a sudden and unplanned change in venue. The new venue located in Central  London,made it tough to get a parking space. Having parked very far from the venue, I had to walk with friends down to the event.  The downside to the story was my shoe was a little loose,and I forgot to stuff the pair with tissue. Reputed to be a high heeled hottie, I flopped. I could not walk, friends had to leave me behind; I simply crawled to the venue. Returning from a rather exhilarating and tiring day with another set of friends,I simply removed my shoes,and walked bare foot back to the car.  Things have never gotten that bad for me on my worst shoe days. I do hope that never happens again,but that is almo

Another Chance at Life!

It was my birthday yesterday,and I've never felt this good. I had a memorable and fantastic day,thanks to family and friends. Most times, I feel depressed a week before and after my birthday because I'm a year older,and I'm not even close to fulfilling my dreams. This year, I have felt positive and determined a month before because I have the feeling I have been given another chance to make a difference. I will succeed; I will prove my critics wrong. Wish me luck x x x.
