Mom allowed T to play with flour, sugar and a slice of lemon yesterday in attempt to stop T from annoying her from cooking a great big meal for us.
>>Fast Forward>>
Somehow I am always sleepy the moment T recharges from her afternoon nap. She woke up at 3pm today and I lay my head down for a snooze at 3pm….God willing, even 5 minutes was better than nothing. Miraculously, she allowed me a whole 20 minutes while skittering around our King Sized bed playing tent……..or whatever it was she was playing.
Then I heard that dreaded word……
“Mummy?”
Silence. I played dead.
“Mummy?….No-no…Mummy??”
I sneaked a peak from the tiny slit at the corner of my eye. She approached me and I quickly acknowledged to myself that the end of my blissful nap albeit short, was soon approaching.
“Mummy? put glasses on” Real bossy, my daughter.
My eyelids tore apart and as I stretched my arms up above my head, something caught her eye. Was it leftover stubble that curiously got the better of her? She put her face closer towards my underarms, then told me seriously….
“Mummy, put shoe-ger ammpitt”
“SUGAR??!!” Why in the world would I want to put sugar in my armpits, Tessa???” I frowned so hard that my face must’ve done some strange contortions. Definitely not good for minimising wrinkles….
“Put shoe-ger ammpitt!” she patted her right hand on her left underarm, still with that authoritative tone.
She looked around the room when she realised I wasn’t getting it.
“Is it pow…..der….that you want me to put onto my armpits?”
She nodded and smiled, knowing her own mistake.
In her confusion between the flour that she played with yesterday and the powder that my moms pats on her body after bathing her, my almost 2 daughter instructs me to put sugar in my armpits.
Very good, T. You’re learning…..*roll eyeballs*
**************************************************************************Who is Mamapumpkin?
Mamapumpkin spent 7 years in London committing crimes to gain her Bartlett degree in Architecture. She then spent 7 years as a Stay At Home Mom raising her children as documented in this blog of over 15 years thereafter returning to the Corporate World stronger than ever as the Country Director of a British Multinational. She sets out to prove to all, that you can have anything and everything that you want; if you have that fire of desire burning within and the drive to work hard. Even better with much love.
Mamapumpkin has not only grown corporate businesses successfully in the past but has grown not one but TWO network marketing businesses in the notorious MLM (Multi-Level Marketing) industry, achieving success in under 2 years. She believes in the MLM business model but realises the DRASTIC PITFALLS and great stigma attached to it, understanding EXACTLY WHY the majority would shy away (or RUN for their lives) from ANY MLM business. But open your eyes and take time to understand it intellectually, remove your hang-ups, confirm your research, and you may just want to seize an opportunity. She did. And no, she never went about chasing people for sales. She had a sophisticated system work for her through technology and a smartphone.
She now impacts lives authentically with proven strategies amassed through the last decade of her own transformation offering online coaching programmes and always supports the underprivileged. She believes that we can all have a life of our own desires to enable real contribution into the world. But first, one needs to understand what this all means.
A beautiful life without limits.
If you wish to learn some tools to propel your life forward guaranteed, be brave enough to make contact as her life's purpose is to build people. She operates through a discovery call after which she will commit to helping you. Or not.
Most lose out on an opportunity because they are afraid they would be sold to, conned or whatever fear resides in their brain without even trying. And that's on them.
Mamapumpkin is a living testimony that women really can have a lot. Being financially and time free has enabled her to travel the world anytime, anywhere, doing anything, and she spends most of her days with her children, having fun, and supporting others wherever she can. Also having fun.
