However, the stress, pressure and total change in careers took a toll on us. My husband, who’s a free spirit and could not be confined to a desk for long, has reached the end of his tether. I have also reached the end of my barely controlled temper. The business has taken over our lives, our time, our peace and even our sanity.

To run a business is never easy. But to run a business where I was forced to pick up skills I have no interest in, to practice things I don’t like and to continue doing it endlessly is a complete waste of my time and my life. There is a limit to everything and this is it.

So, this time, I am really quitting. For good.

The late Steve Jobs’ words could not ring even more true.

You’ve got to find what you love. And that is as true for your work as it is for your lovers. Your work is going to fill a large part of your life, and the only way to be truly satisfied is to do what you believe is great work. And the only way to do great work is to love what you do. If you haven’t found it yet, keep looking. Don’t settle. As with all matters of the heart, you’ll know when you find it. And, like any great relationship, it just gets better and better as the years roll on. So keep looking until you find it. Don’t settle.

Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of others’ opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.

Yes, we have been living some one else’s life for the past year. It took us this one year of absolute unhappiness, stress and countless quarrels to realise that we had forgotten to follow our heart and intuition.

So, we are selling our business now. We have finally gathered enough courage to quit even though it is earning us good income. What is the point of good income if it means unhappiness, extreme stress and most of all, regrets that we did not follow our hearts and dreams?

Some people would say that we are foolish to give up the opportunity to become exceedingly rich. Well, all I can say is what is the point of money if it could mean our marriage failing, our family falling apart, our health failing and our peace of mind gone?

So, no, money can’t buy everything and money is not everything. Success is relative. It is not about how much money we earn. It is not about how big a business we manage to run and profit from.

Success to me is about listening to my heart and reaching for my dreams. Success is about realising my dreams and doing what I love best. Ever since I was 10 years old, I wanted to be a writer. And true enough, I did end up as a writer for the past decade or so. Of course, after so many years in it, I became bored. I craved something different, that’s why I agreed to leave and help out in the business.

Big. Effing. Mistake.

After another huge cold war type of ‘quarrel’, we decided that it is just not worth it. Yes, busybodies will say we gave up too easily, that we are failures, that we are foolish but heck, it IS our life and how we want to live it is our business.

It is our 8th anniversary today and we want at least another 40 years (if either of us don’t drop dead in between). So, yeah, for our sanity, our marriage, our family, we are selling the business and going back to work as mere employees.

At the very least, we learnt a lesson.

That we should always do what we love and not what we thought could make us more money.

That we can never take our jobs that we love for granted.

And that not everyone are meant to be business owners.

Most important of all, you can’t change what your heart and intuition tells you what your calling in life is.

I am born a writer. I will always be a writer. I thrive being a writer. So, a writer I shall be. I will also take this lesson to buck up and finish my novel draft. Who knows? I may finally achieve my lifelong dream of becoming a bestselling author!

So, here’s to our journey into territory well-known and well-loved. It is time that we go back to what we love doing and even if it means we will be salaried employees till we retire, so be it.

1. Never, ever swear in front of children and no, not because they will repeat it in front of you but because they will DEFINITELY repeat it in front of your bosses/ customers/ relatives and not in a cute kinda way but in a ‘ohmygodIwillwashyourmouthoutwithsoap’ kinda way.

2. Never buy too many toys for them and no, not because this will spoil them rotten but because they will play with those darn effing toys and leave it strewn all over the house so that you will either trip and break your neck, poke a hole in your foot after stepping into one too many or spend hours trying to clean up all the mess.

3. Do not threaten or even try to buy your kid into doing something and no, not because this is the wrong way to bring up a kid but because the said kid will threaten you right back or worse, pretend to be bought and once he get what he wants, he promptly forgets his side of the bargain.

4. Do not try to outsmart a kid and no, you may think you are older and wiser but trust me, your decades-old brains and physique is no match to a fresh, full of ideas and energetic five-year-old (or any kid of young age).

5.Do not try to outrun your kid (unless you are an annual marathon champion) because it is time that you accept that you will never ever have the energy and stamina that your kid has so you will definitely be left huffing, puffing and too outofbreath to send your kid to his room.

6. Do not spank your kid and no, not because it is wrong to resort to physical punishment but because no caning or spanking or any kinda physical punishment will get through to a kid who will probably only challenge you back or take off running which will lead to situation number 5.

7. Do not compare your children against each other and no, not because it will create sibling rivalry but because they will compare you with some other parent or worse, they will compare you with your worst enemy whoever that may be.

8. Do not dream of having a good night’s sleep ever again because from baby to toddler to even as a teenager, your kid will forever make you stay up late into the night either due to crying (when baby/toddler) or due to disappearance with some questionable characters (when a teenager).

9. Do not dream of having your own privacy at least for the next 10 to 13 years because your kid will haunt you, stick to you, pester you, make darn sure they are into every aspect of your life from your job to your time in the bathroom until they become a teenager and prefer not to be seen with you.

10. Do not dream of saving up for anything at all, not even that expensive Coach handbag you’ve been eyeing simply because your kids will bleed you dry and then some.

11. The nine-months pregnancy and even the hours of labor is NOTHING compared to the years, years and years of suffering you had to go through to bring them up.

12. You are now responsible for everything that happened to your kid or that your kid did and there is no escape. Ever.

What other lessons have you learned from motherhood?

Note Number One:

To my dearest firstborn:

Do not blame yourself that your weird, cooky mother decides to off herself. Although I scream at you, get angry at you &  punish you at times, this only means I love you and all that scolding was for your own good. Having a child with ADHD and dyslexia may be a challenge but it’s not what pushed me over the edge. There are bigger things in life than you. Trust me. You may think the whole world revolved around you but you will someday realise that it DOESN’T! Not everything that happens is because of you or what you did. You are just a child, nothing you did could have damaged anything or anyone else’s spirit to the point of them wanting to shoot themselves in their heads or jump off the nearest high building.

You are a wonderful, inquisitive and highly intelligent child. My only hope for you is that you do well in whatever line you choose in future and perhaps, do like what Steve Jobs did, put a ‘ding in the universe’. It doesn’t matter if you don’t get 10 As in whatever stupid public examination. It doesn’t matter if you finished last in your class. What matters is when you are out in the real world, you succeed in whatever line you choose. I am certain that you are able to do that if you put your mind and determination to it. 

Do take good care of your little sister for me. I do so dearly love you both. Goodbye!

Your dead mother

Note number two:

To my dearest baby girl,

My baby girl, I do hope you too do not blame yourself for what your crazy mother did. You are the light of my life and your bubbly laughter never failed to bring happiness into my life. However, there are some things in life that is beyond my control so no matter how much joy I have whenever I see you, it isn’t enough. I am slowly sinking into an abyss of depression. It is not your fault at all.

I can see that you are going to be a bright and intelligent girl. Do pursue your dreams and never let it out of your sight. Do not let others confuse you or turn you away from achieving your dreams. You can be whatever you want to be as long as you pursue it relentlessly. 

Do take good care of your brother as he is all you have now. He may be a big bully sometimes, but he loves you dearly too and dotes on you. I do so love you two dearly. Goodbye!

Your dead mother

Note number three:

To my hubby, 

We’ve been married for so many years, sometimes I lost count of how long we’ve been together. After so many years together, I’d thought you’d know how I feel about most things but sadly that’s not the case. I am slowly sinking into depression and yet instead of helping me, you push me away. I know running this business together may not be a good idea as we argued and quarreled a lot over minor things in the business. 

I do still love you but I feel as if you are so far away from me. I feel as if we had grown apart in these past months. I don’t know what to do to mend it. I tried talking but you clam up a lot. I tried asking you, again you clam up. Finally, I got so mad I stopped talking to you and again, you are not bothered. Instead, you decide to stop talking to me too. I am not blaming you for my death. Nobody is responsible except myself. I just want you to know why I feel what I felt and why I need to take such a drastic step. Here’s a list of what I am feeling right now:

• I am tired of being the SOLE parent for the kids – their wellbeing, their health, everything about them lies heavily on my shoulder with no help from anyone. 
• I am tired of being in charge of almost everything in the household 
• I am tired of being in charge of almost everything in the business except for the photography and some of the photo editing
• I am tired of being expected to pick up new skills which I have no interest in
• I am tired of being expected to do ALL things for the family, for the business, for you
• I am tired of being expected to do it all quietly with no complains
• I am tired of being worried about our finances day in day out and not being able to tell you for fear of you worrying too
• I am tired of being shouted at, being scolded and worst of all, being ignored and unappreciated day in day out
• I am tired of being expected to take care of the kids, to manage the business AND also do part-time work 
• I am tired of going to bed at 2am every night trying to complete all my work including the part-time work
• I am tired
• I am tired
• I AM TIRED OF IT ALL

Almost everyone who’s anyone doesn’t mind some side income. So, if you already blog, why the heck not earn some side income from it? Well, that’s what I thought when I started blogging back in 2008. Then,I blogged a lot. As in almost everyday! My food blog, The Food Site, is updated daily while this blog also saw lots of regular updates. Over the years, of course, I do get some traffic to this blog but my food blog has the most traffic. Till today, it is still drawing loads of traffic from the search engines. That’s why, it is now a real great asset for me. I keep getting emails from advertisers interested to place ads in that blog. That’s not all, I am earning adsense income from it too! Now, if that’s not a wonderful way to get some side income, I don’t know what is!

What about this blog? Well, this is actually my ranting blog so I didn’t actually use it to earn money online…still, I do add some earn money online links here, some affiliate links here, adsense and a few ads. So far, no requests from advertisers to place ads here. This may be because this site is not focused on any topic. It has several topics and if you were to ask me to place it in a specific category, I’d be lost! It’s what I would call a mixed interest blog with a wide range of topics. Still, sometimes, I do earn a few dollars here or there from this blog.

Other than this two blogs, I have other earn money online blogs that are raking in more than this blog. Yep, those are set up purely to earn me some side income. How are those performing? Quite good but not as good as I wanted to. Not putting in enough time in those blogs (like I did for my food blog), those blogs are merely scraping by only. Of course I could have earned more from those blogs but to do this, I need time and lots of effort to do it. There are steps to it and if I had followed all those steps (as taught by these two keyword gurus, I’d probably be earning thousands each month now.

Sigh.

If only I am not so effing lazy.

And short of time.

And a master of procrastination.

Oh well.

I made resolve after resolve to really do the work needed (and then I’d be free to really rake in the money everyday!) but somehow something would turn up.

Things like my kids falling sick, me falling sick, urgent work to be completed at my studio, a sudden urge NOT to do anything…excuses and disruptions a plenty! A case in point, it took me two hours to complete this post because every 10 minutes or so, my daughter will want a glass of water, some snacks, need to go to the toilet, need to change her nappy, wants to play, wants a snuggle…*sigh* that’s the thing with toddlers, they still don’t understand the concept of ‘wait, mommy is busy’.

So, I am not gonna resolve to do anything this time. Instead, I will just take one day at a time and do what I can when I can.

GTG right now because demanding, drama queen toddler is complaining of a stomach ache. :)

I have to do the company accounts.

I have to do the administrative work.

I have to check the supplies.

I have to check the operations work flow.

I have to do customer service and sales.

I have to check our packages to ensure it’s competitive.

I have to deal with suppliers and haggle for better prices.

I have to learn bridal make-up and hairdo.

I have to promote and market our business on FB, Twitter and the internet.

I have to update our company FB, twitter and website.

I have to deal with our employees affairs/ HR.

I have to do payroll.

I have to do taxes and accounting for tax purposes.

I have to do photo editing.

I have to ensure all deadlines are met.

AND

I have to pick up my kids from daycare.

I have to take care of my kids so that they don’t run around in the shop.

AND

I now have to learn ways to teach a dyslexic since my firstborn has dyslexia.

I have to teach him how to read because of his learning disability.

ON TOP OF ALL THAT,

I have to look for part time work online to earn some side income as our business is still not stable

I have to work on my websites to continue generating passive income.

AND not forgetting..

I have to do the laundry

I have to cook and clean

And what do I get for shouldering so many tasks and responsibilities?

- Lack of seep

- Stress

- NOT A SINGLE WORD of thanks

- NO time for relaxation

- NO SALARY

- NOTHING. NADA. NYET.

- Get shouted at sometimes

- Get blamed if something goes wrong.

So.

WTF. I QUIT!!!!!!

Since the previous owner is a really close relative, they have continued to stay on in the shop to help with the operations in these initial few months to ‘train’ up my husband and later to train me too in the workings of the shop. And yes, I am still at my day job. So, now, I am like superwoman already. I have a demanding, stressful 9 to 5 job, a 24/7 365 days a year job as a mother, a food blogger, an earn money online blogger, a freelance writer and now, to add on to my list of jobs, I am also an entrepreneur. I am partnering with my husband in taking over the shop.

Before we started on this life changing journey, we have no idea what it entails and now that we’ve got our feet wet…OMG. My husband is stressed to the max over the operations and management and administration of the business. Me, I am stressing out over the same thing on top of stressing out over the income, expenses, P & L, etc…We have learnt the really hard way that it is never easy to set up your own business and sometimes, it is easier to be working for people than to be an employer!

If you are intent on becoming an entrepreneur, here is a to-do checklist you need to go through first:

1. Market research – you need to know your customer base, your competitors and who you are targeting and whether it is a viable business venture.

2. Capital – you need large sums of money, preferably your own savings or soft loans from your loved ones…borrowing from the bank may be an option but all banks do not give out loans to new ventures, only to established companies so you may end up taking up personal loans which has very high interest rates.

3. Company name & branding – you need to put your company name out there and imprint it into the minds of consumers, especially your customer base in order to get customers

4. Administration & management – you need an organised way of running the business from stock taking to delivery of goods to keeping books so that nothing goes missing, unaccounted for or customer orders not fulfilled on time.

5. Marketing and sales – you need to do extensive marketing to generate sales and you need to train up your sales team so that they are able to get more customers for you

6. Labour law, company law, Malaysian laws – whatever you do, always make sure you are adhering to all of the Malaysian laws especially when it comes to human resources and consumer rights. No point trying to bend the laws and get fined or worst, shut down because you wanted to save a few cents.

These are just a very basic outline of what you need to do when starting a business. It is never easy when running a business. Contrary to the preconceived notion of most people that being your own boss is much better, it is NOT TRUE. When you make the transition from employee to employer, you will have a whole set of other headaches such as:

1. You worry about your business income day in day out because you have rent to pay, suppliers to pay and employees to pay

2. You have to deal with difficult clients on top of dealing with difficult employees

3. You can’t even take fake MC all the time because it is YOUR business and YOUR income so you are FULLY responsible for it

4. There is no fixed monthly income, no contractual bonuses, no travel claims, etc…you have to pay yourself from your business income and the perks you get  is only if your business is generating a good income.

5. You will probably feel guilty taking long leave or worse, be worried all the time when away on holiday because again, your livelihood depended fully on your business.

Of course, there are good sides to becoming an entrepreneur but this is a warning post so that aspiring entrepreneurs will know what to expect when they quit that day job!

And yes, I will be quitting my day job pretty soon….I can’t be superwoman with so many jobs indefinitely. I will probably drop dead by 40!

Well, I don’t really care about all those advice on how to train baby to sleep on her own. I mean, what the heck. How long do you think the baby is going to stay a baby? Forever? So what if my baby wants me to cuddle her and hold her close so she can feel secure before falling asleep? Is that a crime? There are so many stupid dos and don’ts about taking care of babies that the part about not carrying them too much and not lulling them to sleep too much that I totally do not agree with.

There’s this advice that we should not carry our babies too much. It will make them want to be carried all the time. Yeah, well, how long do you think the baby will remain a baby? What, you mean, she will still demand to be carried when she turns 21 years old? So, even if the baby wants to be carried all the time, at most, it was only in the first few years. Two or three years max. After that, she’d prefer to walk, run, hop around and destroying stuffs than being carried! And do you know that children grow up so fast that before you know it, you probably wished the sullen teenage creature hiding in her room can be your cute, chubby baby again who wants to be close to you all the time. By then, she probably don’t want to be seen near you, much less ask for cuddles and hugs!

So, what is a few years of having a manja, pampered baby who loves cuddling with you all the time? Is that SO bad? I really don’t understand the need for all those kaypohs/ busybodies who keep telling me not to carry the baby too much. Ceh. I don’t carry my baby anyway, I wear her using a ring sling and I love to have her close to me whenever I am home with her.

Then, there is this whole sleep pattern crap. I’ve read some that advice letting the baby cry it out and soothe herself to sleep. Well, over my cold dead body, I say. Again, my argument is how long do you think the baby will remain a baby? 10 years? 20 years? Puh-lez. So, the baby likes to be lulled to sleep in your arms. How long do you think you get to do that? Not long, I can tell you! I held my firstborn and lulled him to sleep every night for almost 2 years and I do not regret one single bit of it because now, he goes to sleep on his own and don’t need mummy to hold him anymore.
Now, I will do the same thing with my second one if that’s what she likes. She’s probably my last one so if I don’t enjoy the time I get with her when she’s a baby, I won’t get to enjoy it ever again. I would say lulling her to sleep in my arms is as comforting to me as it is to her. The very act of holding her close, breathing in her sweet baby smell and gently patting her is just so relaxing that all the stresses of my day job melts away like magic.

So there. Sleep patterns my arse. If I want to hold my baby and lull her to sleep, I shall very well do that because she will grow up one day and I do not want to wake up one day and realised that I missed my chance of cuddling my cute li’l baby when she’s still so small, so vulnerable, so cuddly and so adorable.

We should never do things just because we want it to be easy and convenient especially when it comes to babies. I know some parents thinks its a hassle to have to carry their babies all the time or to lull them to sleep all the time. If it is such a hassle, then don’t blardy well have babies. Having babies meant there is no such thing as convenience, easy, free time or peace. But it meant loads of wonderful, challenging times filled with frustrations and laughter, joy and hardships, ups and downs.

Nobody is perfect so don’t expect your babies to be perfect too. Accept them as they are, shower them with love, cuddle them all you want, hold them close now because one day, they will have grown up and do not want to be close to you anymore.

Being a working mom is NOT easy. It is even worse when I have so many side income work on top of my regular, full time job. It means that on a daily basis I have to:

• Wake up at crack of dawn LITERALLY
• Rush like mad to get my kids ready
• Brave the traffic to drop them off at nursery / babysitter’s
• Go to work
• Fit in expressing breastmilk in between working hours (Yes, I am still fully breastfeeding! We DO NOT have infant formula at home)
• Brave the traffic again to pick up son from nursery and baby from babysitter’s
• Get son to eat his dinner & feed baby (luckily hubby helps by either preparing dinner or buying dinner)
• Gulp down my protein shake
• 15-minute exercise (no matter how busy, exercise is a MUST for our own health and to de-stress!)
• Gulp down my very light dinner (have to watch the waistline you know!)
• Boil water / wash the plates
• Load clothes into washing machine and get it started
• Play with pre-schooler and baby (quality family time!)
• Feed baby
• Tuck both kids into bed
• Start online work, website work and article writing work
• Go to sleep at around midnight
• Wake up at least twice a night to feed baby
• Repeat routine every work day

The weekends are just as bad, if not worse,  because I still have to wake up early, bathe both kids, give them breakfast, boil water,  cook lunch & dinner, sweep the floor, mop the floor, do laundry, keep pre-schooler occupied, feed baby every 2 hours, put them down for their naps, do more online and writing work, exercise, fold and keep laundry, etc…

So, who says we working moms had it easy? In fact, it only meant that I have MANY jobs (not in any particular order):

• As a mother
• As a breastmilk supplier
• As the second income earner
• As a wife
• As an online marketer
• As a blogger
• As a foodie @ The Food Site
• As a writer
• As a part-time homemaker (since I still DO have to do housework when I get home)

So much so that I have lost count of the numerous times I…

• boiled water (why can’t we just drink from the tap without risking diarrhea and food poisoning?)
• do the laundry (please, please, please someone invent self-cleaning clothes! I’ll be the first to buy them)
• change diapers (can’t wait to toilet train the baby!)
• sweep the floor (please, please, please someone invent self-cleaning floors too)
• mop the floor
• wash the dishes

If only there are more than 24 hours a day or that I do not need to sleep at all….sigh…

How did I manage to balance so many ‘jobs’ each day without keeling over and die of exhaustion? Simple.

Exercise & Yoga

Some of you may think that exercise will only tire me out more but that’s not true! In fact, when you exercise, even for 15 minutes a day, it clears your mind, it trains your muscles, it works your heart for cardio health and it gets your adrenaline up. A few times I skipped my daily exercise and after a few days, I feel lethargic, tired and not up to anything! So, I fully subscribe to exercising daily, whether it is a brisk jog, or some strength training routines or yoga poses. It is a totally ‘ME’ time to clear the mind, de-stress, lose the tension and get your body into shape.

Oh yeah, it’s also great to help me get rid of all of my pregnancy weight! YAY!

I wanted to post up the birth stories of both my children but somehow, I just can’t seem to finish even the first one about my son’s journey into this world. Worst of all the post is coming up to 1,000 words. *gasp* As if anyone at all is interested in it.

Die lar. I am beginning to sound like the aunties / proud mothers you sometimes meet who will go on and on and on about their children and how they delivered their babies complete with the gory details of dilation and water breaking and pushing and swearing and sweating and excruciating pain. Oh, trust me. No birth story is complete without all the gory bloody details of pain, blood and more pain. It is enough to put any unwed, virginal woman off s ex. Forever.

And it reminds me of how watching a video of a live natural birth of a baby can actually traumatise some girls to the point of them vowing to never, ever have children. Or off men forever. Really. It’s a true story. And I don’t blame them. Imagine watching a watermelon being squeezed out of a straw. It is traumatising enough to turn one off  the cause of such scary, excruciating pain. Men. Or s ex. Or both. Never mind that women all over the world has been doing this since the beginning of time. Never mind that nowadays, women seldom die of childbirth.

Which brings to mind the need for proper s ex education in schools. Why is it such a taboo subject? Why is it so difficult to teach our children about s ex and how to respect the opposite sex? Why is it so difficult to teach our children about respect for their own bodies, about prevention of STDs, about HIV, about protection of self and about relationships?

I personally feel that the cause of all these social problems such as teen pregnancies, rape and worst of all, the dumping of unwanted babies are due to a lack of education. Teaching our children all about the birds and the bees, and I don’t mean only about s ex but to encompass every aspects of a healthy man-woman relationship, will not encourage prosmiscuity.

In fact, it will probably cut down on teen s ex and unwanted pregnancies and also teach teenage boys to respect women. By s ex education, I am referring to an overall approach that will cover all the aspects about s ex, sexuality, about boy-girl relationships, about love and about respect for each other. Besides, isn’t it better to tell teens about s ex complete with the right information and about relationships and respect rather than to try to keep them in the dark and end up, they will learn half-truths from friends or worse, learn from p0rn flicks!

S ex (by the way, I have to add the spacing there because I don’t want to get banned by Google) education is all about:

1. The many aspects of relationships and what is okay or not okay in a relationship because like it or not, teenagers with their raging hormones, WILL have a boyfriend / girlfriend either with or without their parents’ knowledge.

2. Respect for your partner and respect for yourself so that you do not ‘go all the way’ just because you were pressed into it or pressured into it.

3. Protection in the form of condoms is important as it could prevent STDs and HIV. Like it or not, teenagers will be s exually active with or without education so why not arm them with the proper knowledge of protecting themselves?

4. The emotions and feelings in a relationships and how to deal with it without bowing to the pressure of having s ex.

Of course, for me, I think the best way to stop teenage girls from doing it is to show them a really graphic, scary and bloody video recording of a live natural birth. The bloodier the better. And to show it with the warning that if they don’t abstain, that is what they will have to go through. Bwahahahahahah…

As for teenage boys, just show them a real live AIDS patient and tell them that if they don’t abstain, this is what may happen to them. Well, it’s the truth. In a way.

The scare tactics probably don’t work on the teens of today anymore. So, it is really time that they do it the hard way, education, education and more education. Drill it into their brains. There’s no other way.

When I first started this blog, it was to vent and rant against people I am darn pis$ed with. And that includes those around me, people I work with, etc. Thus, it was important for me to stay anonymous. But then, somehow, people found out that this is my blog. Especially those I ranted against. Sigh. Is there no privacy anymore nowadays?

So. What’s the point of trying to stay anonymous when there are people who already knows this is my blog? Oh well. There are still lots of others who don’t know so I think I’d rather stay anonymous for now till I am ready to reveal my identity and link my Facebook account here.

Anyway, I also did not intend to use this blog to post up mushy, lovey dovey stuffs or even motherly, goo-goo gaga over my babies type of posts. But somehow, I always end up coming up with posts that veer towards parenting. I guess blogging about my life is what I should be doing nowadays.  I mean, I have vowed not to touch about the politicians anymore. They are just wasting my time and space here. Seriously. Truly. Really sick and tired of frogs!

So, I might as well use this blog to record what’s been going on in my life. Yep. It’s going to get way more boring than now. Quick, go away fast before you get trapped in the utter boringness of this boring blog that’s sliding from sarky to not-so-sarky to *gasp* nice.

Okay, okay, I can never be nice. Not when I am such a real biyatch in real life anyway. What I’ve been trying to say in between all this nonsensical babble is that I will from now onwards blog whatever topic that comes to mind. And the first of the few truly ‘frank’ posts will probably be about my precious baby girl’s birth story. Or maybe I will dig through my memory and blog about the birth of my son. My firstborn. My big boy. Whatever. Till then. Don’t wait!
