jjmom,
i thought of running away and joining the circus. ok, kidding about the circus part. but i still think of running away alot.
actually the week i was severely depressed and thought of jumping, my friend jumped. he was 29, i went to his funeral and thought, damn, he needs a ciggie. they gave him a buddhist funeral and had pizza hut pizzas laid out on the alter. his folks were seemingly composed but heard from his buddy they cried so much they're just numb. i guess that stops us all from doing anything stupid, people who love us and whom we love and sometimes abit of medication goes a long way
morbid things aside.. buffy, glad you shared. always thought i must be the manic depressive fool around. JJ is right, we must enjoy our lives and motherhood.
SAHMdom is doing me no favours though, like you.. it's driving me nuts. i love getting up and going to work, starting new projects, reading new research papers, teaching, lunching with colleagues, having new kids, working with academics.
right now, i love her but today i cruelly let her cry and scream because i was mashing her carrot. i was yodelling out, 'wat do u want mommy to do, i have to mash carrot for you then fix your milk feed.' my older relatives have been nagging me to stop carrying her because they feel that it's unhealthy but then how? let her cry until like kena tortured liddat? anyone feeling the same way? in the end i had to hug her tight and she was still wailing.
i type until feel like crying. sheesh. how can parents tell me the tods behave so well with me yet i cannot even change my own daughter in peace. didn't get to do any work today, very frustrating. read half way, she stop playing and fuss. carry, read half way, she wants to do something else. in tne end, wait for her to sleep at 3ish then went to wash bottles, do laundry, cook porridge, ate lunch at 4. i have this fear that i'ld raise a brat.. the same type that i vow never to give birth to after teaching certain monsters. is this karma?
on a lighter note, i want to get a money savvy pig from busybee. hahahahhahah

Cheer up...you're not alone in this 'predicament'. There have been times where I wonder how have I landed myself in where I am now. I'm one who's afraid of commitment and dislike routine. Even when I was workforce, I never had to work so hard as what I am doing now. I'll get at least a decent off day for a 12hour work, where I can have uninterrupted 10hours of sleep... but being a SAHM is a continuous 24/7 job with no off or annual leave... Moreover, our schedule is dictated be our little ones according to their whimes and fancies. If she's in a good mood, I'll be able to complete my laundry at one go, otherwise, I'll be running up and down trying to entertain her and to steal time getting the chores done.
Having said that, I've no regret being a SAHM...just that I do miss the good old days of being carefree!

Good Morning Mummies!!!
Hi Kiwi, I know what you mean, even when i was working in a a mega stressful job there was still down time but being SAHM am on constant standby and can't afford to slack off. People often say rest when the bb rest, easy to say if I have a helper but since I am on my own when bb rest means its time to catch up on chores. So by the end of the day I am usually exhausted...
Hi Forest, will check my email for your PM thanks!
Hi Karen, about candles... not sure about effects on babies but I did hear that the use of essential oils/ aromatherapy has to be sparingly on babies. Pildough was looking at stuff from my e-store, TheBusyBee Personalised Boutique (www.thebusybee-store.blogspot.com)
Anyone keen on personalised music for bubs? I am considering whether to add on to my store, would like some feedback.

I'm a sucker for all things personalised thus leading me to set up my store.
Just to share some thoughts abt stuff from my store....
Although the SJ bags are meant for toddlers, but I like that us Mummies can carry it for them now and when they are older they can carry the bags themselves. So good mileage out of the item. I am currently using the Snack Sacs to carry Minibee's milkbottles and food when we are out.
As for, the personlised books, they make wonderful keepsakes. I have customers who bought the books for their baby (kid is now in P1) telling me that it is still their child's favourite book! The latest title is Bye Bye Diapers, great book to help our little one to learn Potty Training with Elmo. Guess reading about themselves in the story with their favourite characters helps them relate better?
Yeah I love the Money Saavy Pig, its a good tool to ensure our little kiddos learn good money habits early (again targetted age is for preschoolers)....
In the pipeline, Personalised Apparel, Hairbands, Hair Clips and Accessories. Any requests for a personalised item, I will try to source. I love to hear feedback from the customer....

busybee,
the best guide is to refer to the measurement of the head..there is a difference in the lens size too..

rebecca,
really? so scary le..
pildough,
i know what you mean. i also miss working and lunching with colleagues. and as for letting bb cry... i also cannot find it in my heart to not carry bb when she cries. even though everybody keeps saying to let her be.. they keep saying that if she's not hungry, diaper not wet or got poo don't carry her. but i cannot take it. she cry like so pitiful le.. and i think to myself, she will only stay this small once.. so i'll cuddle and hug her all i want.. hehe.. so now when i need to do something, i put her in her stroller and bring with me.. hehe..
question:
does any bb shake their head a lot? mine seems to be doing it. starting last night. is it because she's teething?

Working mummies... endure... long weekend coming right up.
SAHM,
I agree that taking care of baby can get really taxing. Even my MIL is applying for "levae" this long weekend to head back to KL.

Dimpletot, I call my minibee a little hungry hippo too!! Esp when she was still in my tummy! Made mummy eat like a bottomless pit. Now on the outside her appetite has tapered off but still a keen eater. Eats anything but hates her juices!
Diane, hang in there.... Dun do anything foolish. Realised PND is really common and a hush hush thing many new mums dun talk about. Well we are all here to support one another and share our experiences so dun be too hard on yourselves ok.
Baby and music.... I know I am late on my posting as promised on my blog. Will do so today. I have been introducing different types of music to Minibee. Today we are listening to the sultry smooth voice of Andrea Bocelli! I guess she likes it cos she fell asleep in about 10 mins into the cd!
