yo, people ... displaying serious withdrawal symptoms aren't we. hee. thanks for waiting patiently for a new entry guys. hope this will whet your appetite for a while : )


the angel wore bata
AG is only 7, but she is a big 7. she wears clothes for 14 year olds. not that she is fat, but she is really tall for her age and, like i said earlier, curvy. anyhoo, her feet size has grown too and she is a size 37; very quickly moving out of the children's shoes to the adult section. i've taken to buying her shoes from bata. cheap and good which means even if i had to pass it on, my wallet does not hurt so much.

7-year *itch
i've always picked my battles with hubs. usually, i eat my thots and don't openly share with him how i truly feel. if i do offer an opinion, i always make sure that it is well positioned. i don't shoot from the holster. but since late last year, i've become more vocal because we both agree that he needs to know how he/ the family is affecting me.

lately, i've been letting it flow, much to his (and my) surprise. my unproxy-ed thoughts are definately not something he is accustomed to. i do feel that we are understanding each other better. can you believe it, here we are, 7 years into marriage and still learning how to communicate.


taking matters into his own hands
hubs whispered to me the other day, while we were having a smoke, that we should do sit-ups together after the kids are asleep. seeing the non-result year after year, he wants to get actively involved in my weight management. i was a little insulted in the beginning but i've looked beyond that. i'm glad that he is offering to help me and he knows i love a challenge - believe it or not, sit-ups are my fave static exercise. under my blubber, lies abs of steel okay! YOU stop sniggering!
