Overloaded with Clothings for Chloe

Saturday, September 18th, 2004
Gerald our customer had been giving chloe lots of hands me down from her daughter Sara. Sara is about 9mths older than Chloe.. and therefore .. when she is done with the clothes.. Gerald will bring them in for Chloe.. and it’s alot of clothings i tell you.
So i am really grateful for customer/friend like Gerald.. who is so generous.. and giving.
Thank you Gerald and Adele and of course dear Sara.. :)
I hope Chloe will grow up and be friends with Sara.

A Better Day

Saturday, September 18th, 2004

Today was a better day for me.. and Chloe.. :)
I got to sleep in.. on the guest room bed.. when Chloe woke up in the morning.. while my spouse got up and looked after chloe.. :)
And chloe ate all her food.. although she was still eating like tweety bird.
But she is not sleeping good tonite.. and tossed and turned quite a few times.. and even woken up at about 11.40pm.. and had to be fed again.. and pat for a long time.. before she would go back to bed. So da-da didn’t get to play much today.
Things are going well at the store.. with our new employee.. Lisa.. so we are pretty happy.
Hope our trip to Halifax next week.. would be a good one. I’m looking forward to relaxing during the 3 days we are gonna be there.. but i have a dental appt.. and an health check up for immigration. Suxs..!! But i wanna try eating all the food.. i didn’t get to eat.. when i was carrying chloe.. namely.. sashimi..!! Dharma Sushi here i come.. !!

No Wedding

Thursday, September 16th, 2004
I’ve decided that we wouldn’t go for the wedding.. since my spouse cannot decide.. and we were going back and forth.. trying to make a decision.. and i was getting hives all over.. from the anxiety of waiting.. to pack or not to pack.. so finally .. i said to myself.. the heck with everything.. i just ain’t gonna sit around and wait.. till thy kingdom come. So i decided.. we are not going.. it’s not worth all the worrying and the incorrigible hives..!
So sorry God-da-da.. we can’t come .. for the wedding.. but we will visit you.. as soon.. as chloe is better.. and not so fussy.. we promise..!
And i feel kinda sad.. that we are gonna miss the wedding.. since i had been planning for a year now. Oh well.. tat’s life.

To go or not to go… again..??

Wednesday, September 15th, 2004
We are STILL contemplating whether to go for the wedding or not.. firstly because of my back.. and secondly because Chloe is still fussing.. :(
But just to be on the safe side.. we decided to cancel our hotel reservations first, so that we will not be charged unecessarily.. and pushed my doctor’s appt for immigration check up .. till later.. after doing my root canal.
So we will know by morning… if we are going or not.. all depending on Chloe and my spouse.. because he had noted.. that because he needed to drive.. i will pretty much have to take care of chloe mostly.. and with my bad back.. he is thinking if it would be a good idea.
So we’ll wait till tomorrow.

To go or not to go..??

Wednesday, September 15th, 2004

Now we are contemplating on whether we should go for the wedding or not.. since Chloe was fussier than usual.. today.
Oh well.. got 24hrs more to decide.. and it’s entirely up to her daddy.

Grammie’s present from Maine .

Present from Grammie

Monday, September 13th, 2004
Grammie came back from Maine today.. and we went to visit her .. at home.. she bought chloe a ball .. by winnie the pooh.. and a set of clothings.
Brian who is Chloe’s godma’s brother was in town from Ontario.. but we didn’t get to see him.. apparently he left as soon as we got in.. seems to be upset about something.. oh well.. Uncle Brian for you .. :(
He didn’t even bothered to come see Chloe… since he hasn’t seen her before. Too sad.. to have an uncle who is so engrossed in wallowing in his own sorrow.
Guess Chloe ain’t gonna know her Uncle Brian very well.

Sleeping alone

Sunday, September 12th, 2004
Yesterday nite .. was the first time .. since i came to Canada .. that i’ve slept on my own.. without my spouse. My back was hurting so bad.. that i decided to go sleep in the guest room.. on the new bed… that we had prepared for my MIL who was looking after Chloe.. but ever since she stopped coming no one used it .. so far.. it’s is just a double bed.. so we couldn’t change.. and use that bed instead.
Anyhow.. after switching bed.. i did get some rest. But it felt so strange to sleep alone.. but i was way too tired.. and too painful.. to even think of it.
I got some rest for sure.. coz’ my spouse woke up with Chloe.. in the morning.. and i continued sleeping.
Sleeping alone is no fun.. but if that is wat it takes to heal my back.. and get some rest.. i guess i just have no choice till we get a king size bed.

House Hunting

Sunday, September 12th, 2004
We’ve been house hunting since the earlier part of this year… but we haven’t been having alot of luck. The house we liked .. are too ex.. the house we don’t like.. of course they are within our price range.. but we don’t wanna buy.
One is listed last week.. and we kinda like it from the outside. and the price is right.. so hopefully after viewing it.. we will still like it enough to make an offer.. and hoping .. no one offer before us.
Keeping our fingers cross.. because i really wanna get a new house.

Thankful

Saturday, September 11th, 2004

I am thankful for my spouse.. thankful for having our store manager working for us.. and thankful that we hired L on.. for she seems to be working out better than we expected.
My pinch nerve is not really that much better.. but i could do a little more than yesterday.. because i don’t wanna feel useless… and make my spouse do everything.. for he already woken up with Chloe .. this morning at 5.45am.. and at 8.45am.. so i thought i had better relief him abit.. so he doesn’t fall ill.. or get too tired.
Chloe hurt herself today. in the mouth.. while jumping up and down the crib.. i was so panicky.. because she had blood coming out from her mouth.. somewhere.. and i couldn’t see where she was hurt.. and because my spouse was in the bathroom.. i didn’t dare make her cry.. trying to see more clearly into her mouth.. so i just tried to make her comfy.. and soothe her as much as possible. But after my spouse came downstairs.. i felt better… and i was thinking.. jeezzee.. i was watching her.. and yet chloe hurt herself.. so next time.. i have to watch her even better.
But i am thankful that she is alright.. and forgotten about it already. I hope things get back to normal soon… meaning my back don’t hurt no more.. so that we can go back to routine. But i am thankful.. that this time.. my back .. is not as bad .. as when it first got hurt.
So yes.. i’ve alot to be thankful for, so next time i wanna bitch at my spouse.. i better stop and be thankful.

Worried

Saturday, September 11th, 2004
I had getting sick of any kind.. because i’m afraid.. that there is no one to take care of chloe.. because chloe can be a handful at times.. but the more worried i get.. the more breathless i become.. *sigh*. Part of me know that her daddy will definitely take care of her.. but part of me.. worried that chloe may be too much for him to handle.
Deep down inside … i worry that my spouse is willing to have Chloe .. because i love kids so much.. and he had many a times told me.. he don’t like kids.. and yet i insisted on having at least one. Am I being selfish..?? by wanting wat i want..?? and not caring for his feelings..??
In a way … i guess i am.. and therefore i now worry all the time.. if i needed any help from him.. because I was the one who wanted the baby… therefore .. i should be the one.. who is taking care of Chloe.. ?? because he didn’t ask to have a baby.. and he repeatedly told me.. he don’t like kids.. so yes, I was selfish.. but Chloe is here now..and no changing it. I just have to make the best outta it. And hope i don’t get too sick too often. If given a choice i would rather stay up with Chloe 24hrs.. than to be sick.

Pinched nerve

Friday, September 10th, 2004
I have the worst luck.. it’s one thing after another.. first i got sick.. and then .. i had hives.. and now.. i think i have a pinched nerve.. from an old injury from years ago.
I can’t bent or walk properly .. or if i sit and get up.. it would hurt like shit..!! Therefore .. meaning i can carry Chloe and wouldn’t be able to look after her properly.. knowing how needy she is most times. I feel so anxious because of it. But there is nothing i can do.. and i know it.. so i would just have to take things easy for a few days.. and not think that the whole world is gonna crumble down.. because i am taking a rest.
I feel bad for my spouse too.. because he is doing way too much for Chloe and me already.. by my chinese standard.. compared to wat i know.. and experience.. from my parents and grandparents time.. he is already doing alot. So that’s the reason why i hate getting sick.. because i feel so useless.. and troublesome . .to everyone.. for i know i would look after chloe all on my own.. clean the whole house.. and look after the store.. if i could .. by myself.
I try to do too much .. at times i know.. and that’s no good.. i should learn to take it easy.. but easier said than done.

Grammie on Holiday

Friday, September 10th, 2004
Grammie went for a short holiday in Maine, USA today on Scotia Prince. Weather was bad here today, I hope the boat wasn’t too choppy though because we know Grammie has got motion sickness.
And just before grammie went for her holiday with her line-dancing group, she came by the store to visit Chloe, and Chloe did allowed Grammie to carry her FINALLY..!! Boy, that must have made her day.. hahah!!
Hope grammie has a good holiday.

Almost normal

Thursday, September 9th, 2004
We’ve gone back to the almost normal routine for Chloe.. except ..she doesn’t wanna eat her solids alot. I gather it must be because of her teething, so i am gonna let it slide for a while.. and see wat happens.
Chloe is still cranky when she wants to.. but at least she doesn’t wake up fussing too much, so i thank God for it. If she is cranky during the day.. it isn’t so bad.. because we can handle it better. But she has got the worst temper.. if you don’t give her something she wants.. she would cry till she throws up.. and then .. she would quieten down. We don’t know how to break this bad habit.. or do they always turn out this way.. no matter wat during the first 2 yrs..?? till they understand and can talk back to us..?? I’m just waiting for the day to come.. where i can teach chloe the right and wrongs. I sincerely hope .. i do a good job as a mom.. and bring chloe up right .. and proper.

Wedding Trip to PEI

Tuesday, September 7th, 2004
I am so excited now.. because we are leaving for PEI for a wedding.. :)
Chloe’s godfather is getting married.. and this is our first long trip with Chloe, would be really exciting for me.
I am really looking forward to some good rest (no work.. or worry about the store).. and leisurely doing stuff .. instead of having to rush, rush all the time. Just take time for Chloe and us.. :)
Now if only Chloe would wake up from her nap.. so that we can go shop for stuff for the trip, she has been napping for close to an hour now.
