Watching my kids grow
Now that I have more freedom with my time, I am spending a lot more time with the kids at home. Can you imagine, that I cook them lunch every single day, which is separate from dinner, just so they could have home cooked food at school? The school food is already included into the fees but probably suck as I can imagine. So my lucky kids get to bring Mama’s love. Every single day. I think that’s important.
I have also started reading to my little one, something I had previously deprived her off. I mean, after reading thousand of books to T1, I think I had only read less than 10 books to T2 up to last year!!! I kid you not. Poor T2. Well, I am making it up to her, my little precious.
They are both growing so damn fast. One is in Secondary School studying Physics and Biology and Chemistry, asking me tough questions every day. She is also very sarcastic, must be something they practise a lot at school. Not necessarily in a bad way but in a funny way, know what I mean? But of course, she can be seriously sarcastic too! Which is when I put my foot down. Rudeness not tolerated in this household thank you very much. The small one too is less of a handful now. Definitely growing up. She listens more and behaves more. She is forming her own identity with her school friends and has many friends at school that she chit chats to every day and comes home with all sorts of funny and interesting stories. The big one only has stories about her teachers!!!
Both girls are so very close to me and I make it a point that they are close to one another. Every day when we drop them off at school, T1 has to bring T2 into her class room with tons of bags in tow. I do not know why they have to carry so much stuff to school. It is definitely some propaganda to stunt the growth of children. And they also get dismissed together, although T2 finishes half an hour earlier, she is OK to wait for her big sis. And big sis would text me to say she has got her sister. Yes, she has a phone!!! Can you believe it???
All secondary students carry a phone!!!!! And she has barely just turned 11. I trust her though. She is a good girl. She is that same girl who took care of me and held the fort when I was having my heart problems and could not get out of bed. She is that same girl who learnt to cook on the stove and prepare dinner because Mama couldn’t. And she is that same girl who would keep little pesky T2 out of my hair whenever I was ill in bed. She would help with her homework, she would DO the housework and she would just take charge. Of everything. In fact, she was the Hubs’ rock. Thanks to Izumio and Super Lutein, I can now be their Mom again. T2 is also learning to be more mindful about my illness to which I am grateful. And of course, the Hubs is ever supportive but also nags me all the time to put the phone away and to sleep early. Heh.
See how fast they have grown??? One is Secondary One and one is Primary One. They are the loves of my life. Nothing else in this world matters if I have them with me. They make me laugh without fail every single day. Thank you for such great blessings. I hope I do right by raising God’s children in the best way possible.
**************************************************************************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.
