Just to Get Rid of the Picture, of the Finger, On the Home Page

Yeah, being at work and opening your blog and getting the finger, blog post below this one, is NOT a good idea,   HAHAHAHA. So let me tell you how shitty it has been in the past few months: – End of May baby Buddha had a very bad, and I am talking very bad respiratory distress [...]

Rub My Belly Mama, Mama, Rub My Belly

My little Buddha who calls her belly boody. She is sooooo funny. She says: Mama, talk to me, talk to me mama, mama, talk to me …. so … I have an idea , lets color. That is just soooooooo funny, “talk to me” in her world means “listen” and I think it is just [...]

This “Sharing Business”.

Me: I am going to buy 2 bars of chocolate, one for you and one for me and peanut to share. Little 7aki: Can I have a piece from yours when I finish mine? Me: But you have a whole bar for yourself! Why would you want to share your sisters? Little 7aki: Because I [...]

Fabrications

What fabrications they are, mothers. Scarecrows, wax dolls for us to stick pins into, crude diagrams. We deny them an existence of their own, we make them up to suit ourselves – our own hungers, our own wishes, our own deficiencies. Now that I’ve been one myself, I know. Margarete Atwood The Blind Assassin I [...]

To vaccinate or not To Vaccinate That is the Question – The Swine Flu Edition

The H1N1 vaccine is finally ready in Canada and it’s getting shipped out to all clinics and I have to make the decision whether to give it to my Girls or not. So I am beyond confused and here is what I got: – Our family Doctor said, don’t do it, too risky since it [...]

The Guilt of Bieng a Working Mom

I was watching Queen Rania during her discussion at Yale university and a question she was asked really bothered me. Females are always asked this question especially women in big leadership roles and who happen to also be mothers. They are always asked:” How do you balance your work and family and how do you do it as [...]

Either Nothing or All

Peanut never seizes to amaze me. At 8 months she was clearly behind on her milestones, no crawling, no standing, no rolling over (that really concerned me, until the doctor told me she was too fat to roll over, HAHAHAHAHA), no teeth. Nothing. Nada. Zilch. And then when she hit 8.5 months she: 1) Turned [...]

To the End of the Universe and Back

An “I Wish The Earth Could Open and Swallow Me” Moment

I really wished that would happen, I was even imagining it: Maybe I can melt? Maybe I can become invisible? It was an OMG I wish the earth would just open , right here, right now and swallow me moment. Little 7aki is turning five soon , oh how time flies, so we are busy [...]

On Being Busy

The eternal argument between women who stay at home and women who work is who’s busier and who does more work the woman that balances family and career or the  woman who chose her family as a career. To be honest, now that I am staying at home for a year it feels I am much busier [...]
