It is official. I am an emotional eater. It is almost a month now that I am handling two kids and a household without a helper and out of that month, 2 weeks with a guest from Australia. Tired is not the word to describe my state of being. I feel the pain cutting through the centre of my bones.

Having house guests means having to wake up extra early to make sure they have breakfast. It means driving them to their destination of choice. Sometimes it means accompanying them to their destination of choice. Of course, I don’t have to do all this. But if people come all the way to visit you and spend time with you, I think it is the least I can do. But it’s tiring. Just because my days are already jammed packed without them around.

Seriously, sardined jammed packed.

For example, Tee had a fever last night and woke up several times crying because she was in pain. T2, woke up several times too because it is her bad habit. We have good nights and we have bad nights. Last night was a bad night. Tee, on my right would wake up. An hour later, T2, on my left, would wake up. An hour later, Tee, on my right would wake again. And I kept swinging left to right to left to right until I thought I was a boat in the sea.

This morning, T2 woke at 8am. I prepared her breakfast, fed her, cleaned her up, bathed her, cleaned her ears, cut her nails, and put her down for a nap. By that time it was 10.30am and I swallowed a stale Ramly burger in 15 minutes, screamed at Tee to please allow me to enjoy my rubbish breakfast in peace as it is the only time I get to have peace, if at all. Mind you, I put T2 to sleep but she did not go to sleep. By the time I finished my burger, it was time to prepare lunch for Tee and T2. By the time, I finished preparing lunch, it was time to feed T2 again. But she knocked off for an hour whilst I quickly cleaned up the kitchen. By the time lunch was over, it was 3pm and we all went in for a nap, which I very much needed. It was the highlight of my day! By the way, did I mention I had an orange for lunch. It was great, sweet and juicy! We woke at 530pm and I had to rush dinner. By the time I blended dinner and fed T2, it was 730pm. Clean up blablablablablabla…………..seriously? There is no time to even have a private, peaceful shit on my own. THAT, is the state of affairs here right now. Every single day.

Not that I’m complaining. Like I told the Hubs, I don’t mind not having help but I really DO need support. Support and lots of appreciation.

In the meantime, I have been binge eating. I’ve noticed that whenever I’m stressed, tired, feeling overwhelmed with a crying baby, I hunt desperately for chocolate. And I gulp it down. It has a calming effect on me. It is so bad. But for now, that is the only way I know how to cope.

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.
