These pictures below were taken when T1 had first started school this year and I was the ever anxious Mom who had to be at school to check exactly how they conducted their swimming classes and to make sure my 5 year old could actually handle getting changed and dry herself properly, and not enter her air-conditioned classroom dripping wet. After a few weeks, I told myself I couldn’t be at school every week just to dry her hair so we decided to cut it.

I bit my tongue and went through the steps with her on what she had to do whenever she got out of the pool. Seriously, we’re dealing with a 5 year old here.

Don’t let any of your stuff touch the wet floor.

Squeeze your swimsuit dry and put it immediately into the plastic bag.

Rinse yourself quickly (there is no time for a proper shower) and squeeze your hair dry.

Wipe your hair. Wipe your body super dry.

Put your clothes back on. Towel dry your hair again.

Pack your stuff neatly. All wet stuff into plastic bags provided.

Do not let your swimming slippers touch your stuff. It belongs to the slipper bag.

Comb your hair neatly. Listen to your teacher.

Swimming is T1’s favourite class of all at school. She LOVES swimming.

Walking to the pool.

Swimming……

So this week, the Hubs and I went to school to check her out since the coach told me she has made progress.

I had a heart attack when I saw how she handled herself after swimming. AARRGGHHH!!!! I feel as though I have to go again every week !!!

When she removed her swimsuit, it dropped to the floor. And she left it there. Her towel, dropped SEVERAL TIMES on the wet floor. She barely rinsed herself, it was rather a walk in-walk out out of the shower. Her hair was still tied then. She simply placed her cap and goggles all over the place as she moved and chatted with her friends, which means she could have easily lost them. You know how kids are. And by the time she was done, her hair was still dripping wet and making her T-Shirt wet as well. And her legs were still wet too. HOW!!!!??????

There is just no way she is ready for this. Maybe in another year. Hopefully within the next year.

And as much as the Hubs says to just let her get on with it, she’ll learn eventually, I cannot let go. It makes me so stressed out thinking and knowing that she is walking back to an air-conditioned classroom with wet hair and wet parts on her body. What shall I do???????

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.

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.
