<font color="aa00aa">Hello, mummies!
Am thinking whether should I go work part-time since my kids are in cc now and nowadays I can only fetch them home at 4.45pm cos they have to practise the dance for their annual concert. I'm really bored at home. Yesterday my ex-colleague told me my ex-boss still asking if I want to go back to work. I feel tempted. But I worry what if my kid(s) is sick, then there is nobody to take care of him/her liao. Still struggling with my thought.</font>

mousebb,
maybe can start off working part time first then if you feel that things are more settled, can consider switching to full time. Maybe also can discuss with your boss about you taking leave should any of your kids fall sick.
purple,
pneumoccocal is 2 jabs. If it's due this month better to bring LY, cos if miss the window period, then the 1st jab will be useless as a immunisation.

he probably thinks you're on ML and he has to work so a bit more jialat for him. but wah lau, tell him I also think it's very fan, and if anyone is going to fall sick first it should be you. sock it to him. *pow!*

Does crocs accidents only happen in SG?
I wonder if it's crocs or our SG escalators.
I was so tempted to get Marcus a pair of crocs. But this article and those previous reports scare me out. Till now, i still carry marcus up and down escalators. (he's wearing adidas) Just to play safe. Not sure it's the shoe or the escalators.

My hubby even admitted tat he is amazed to see me able to 'tong' the nites while he is all washed out liao.
But yes, to say bb J's cries r 'fan' is really insensitive. U shd voices out your unhappiness to him, don't keep it to yourself *hugz*</font>

Jelly, *BIG HUGS*. sometimes man say the darnest things without going through their brain. of course babies cry lah, what does he expect them to do?!!! maybe you need to tell him how much his words hurt...you are doing confinement afterall, its not easy on you at all.
cheer bear,
it total of 50 points stated on the stamp. So you can combine like a few stamps to make the 50 points.
Jelly,
dun take it to heart. Get your hubs to help more with baby. Even though he doesn't do it your way, let it be. Men need to be trained and not spoilt by us. You dun need an extra big baby to give you additional work. Put it in a harsh way, your hubs shouldn't act like he's just a sperm donor. Take care.

R&R, i think still better to play safe. i know of a relative who tot she was being careful but it happened too. its not possible to watch out or predict the next second how their feet will move. you may be engaged in something else, like your other child.
<font color="0077aa">Jelly: sigh... Thats why I always feel and think that us mummies are the more "wei da" ones. Somehow we still have it in us and the men in this case with all pun intended, "just dun get it". -__-""
I would be truly pissed as well. Hang in there ok, I know it is not easy. Tell your HB if he has nothing good to say, then zip it. Its his son too. *roll eyes*
Re: crocs. My colleague's partner's daughter (from first marriage) has a similar incident. After all these tales, C does not have any and I always hawk over her when on the escalator. Ai yoh, when I think of the pain and the gory details, I shudder....
On a personal update note: mummies. I got a new job offer. Just received it yesterday and still pondering over it as it is a change of scope and it is quota bearing. Hence its 1/2 biz development, 1/2 sales. Pondering because I need to take a pay cut 'cos current job no commission u see, hence base is higher as compared to a BD position... Still pondering</font>

<font color="119911">Crocs & escalator :
I dunno if it's crocs or escalator but i m not gng to risk it with my child's safety. It's really too scary esp when i had seen an actual case myself.
At this age, we r still carrying Nat when on the esc & we r never gng to get any crocs for any kids no matter how old they r or how cute the shoe is.
Which bring me to 2 qns :
1. crocs shoes really 'THAT' cute meh? Or really is it coz every kids r having so it's a 'IN' thing for parents to buy for their kids?
2. how come after 'too' many cases, no 1 sue 'crocs' & bring it out of biz huh?</font>

<font color="0077aa">hi dimpletot! *wave*
Thats one of the main draw factor, being sales/BD based. I will be out of the office and has more flexibility. The company also allows for 1 - 2 days of WFM basis, provided of course that I do not have sales / customer meetings. Hours wise, my friend who is there as an analyst told me usually by 530pm, u see the sales folks scamper out.
Over at my current place, desk bound all the time and it is just a wrong fit. I am doing con calls all the time, v little human interaction and it sorta clashes with my personality. Gave this job a good go for coming 16 months and still, I am not fulfilled. Hence there are some push factors too.
Oh, office is around yr area so hee hee... can meet u guys for lunch next time</font>

hi jjmom - ya... and i have 3 pairs of same size that needs to be worn!
Crocs:
Dylan's wearing it. He likes it due to the lightness and comfort of it I believe and I like it as it's real easy to put on and take off. I've not let him stand on the escalators before, I always carry him up or down escalator. Having 2nd thoughts to purchase a 3rd pair for him after he outgrows current pair. Wonder if it's just certain Crocs design that only causes the incidents.

re: crocs
you can't sue crocs cos they are just shoe manufacturer and retailer. How the wearer uses or abuses the shoes, it's not their responsibility. In short, there's no basis for litigation. Are the shoes in the report the real or fake crocs?
I also won't buy crocs for regina. And on escalators, i still carry her rather than let her stand. I'm so paranoid after all the news reports on escalator accidents.
buffy,
i say go for it. Even if you dun leave now, you'll leave later cos it's a job misfit.
Jjmom,
if you wanna get shooshoos, let me know cos i have 6 orders of shoes on hand. Need another 6 more to meet moq. No point doing a bp for it for just 6 pairs. So getting orders only from friends.

Mint: You are right, even if it is not this offer, I will still leave in time to come. The scope is just not what I seem to sign up for.
JJMom: no lah, not hunted for this new offer.
Dimple: Thanks for the vote of confidence man, even though I have no idea what "gift" you see in me. LOL... The pay cut is really quite substantial (4 figure!) hence the hesitation. With sales, need about 3 - 4 months to build up so I guess I will eat grass man. -__-""</font>
