Before the alarm clock went off this morning, whilst we were all still deep in slumber. Or so I thought,
“Mummy?”
I heard a whimper, opened my eyes in the dark and looked at Tee. Her eyes were closed. Was it my imagination? Without hesitation, I flumped my head back down without even bothering to look at the time. There was no light coming through the curtains, hello? The Hubs was in the next room because he came down with a fever since we returned from Hong Kong. That’s what babysitting for 4 days did to him. We didn’t want to breath the same air.
Then.
“Mummy?”
Shit. It wasn’t my imagination.
“Mmm.” I grunted and magically emanated some forces from my head to make Tee GO BACK TO SLEEP.
“Mummy, where is my bolster?”
“Mmm.” I pushed those forces harder with my mind. Work, God damn it! Work!
“Mummy, I need my bolster…” all this with her eyes still closed, can you believe it???
With great irritation, I threw off the duvet covers and started hunting in the dark for that blinking feathered sausage. Then I remembered she had taken it out to the living room the night before. Bugger. There is no way I am getting out of my bed before light arrives. Besides there may be lizards lurking….
“Here, use this!” I hurled her another small pillow.
Her eyes opened, “This is not my baby bolster!!” I need my baby bolster!!”
“Well, I don’t know where it is! You shouldn’t have taken it out to play yesterday. Go back to sleep!”
“NO, I NEED MY BABY BOLSTER!!!” she wailed…..
A pillow goes over my head.
Tee kicks and stomps the bed, screams and wakes up the whole household. The next thing we knew, the Hubs was getting scolded for not ensuring Tee’s baby bolster was with her when he got her ready for bed last night. How could he forget? Never, ever forget your daughter’s baby bolster! It is a matter of life and death. It is a matter of sex or no sex. Got it?
Be assured that we will not be having a case of the missing bolster from here on.

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.

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.


I see you too have middle of the night treasure hunts. Damus will sometimes get up in the middle of the night to look for his two small teddies – Mr. Bean and Vickcent. He’ll grab the torchlight near my pillow and start hunting. Then must arrange them nicely before he go back to sleep. Aiyoh!
BTW, your Tee has a very cute face. And the granny looks sooo young.
Hahaha….so cute! What’s it with them!
Mine has an attachment to her baby pillow too….Never go to sleep without it….*sigh*
Blur Mommy, the problem is….Tee has never been attached to her baby bolster!!! She just at the spur of the moment wanted it and wanted it pronto. *roll eyeballs* Unfortunately, her attachment object is my hand….she needs to stroke my hand before she can sleep. Terrible!
