Sleepless... Again?!

冇得瞓.  講完.

Okay fine, elaborate: since Faye's bbq on Saturday, for 3 full nights, CLM woke up at 3am and refused to go back to sleep until ... God knows when because by 6am I've had it with him and threw him out to 文生.  Definitely played with my EQ (or lack of) that one!  No sleep for me = GROUCHY.

I have a feeling (or I'm hoping) this sudden fussiness and sleeplessness and lack of interest in nursing is due to teething since CLM's constantly drooling like an open faucet.  Poor dude's face is so scratched up already and he still pokes his eyes and rip his ears, pulls his hair when he's upset.  Silly llama.

  

What a busy week!

Last week was definitely a busy one as I had to run around town for errands on Sunday, downtown Tuesday and Wednesday for meetings/errands/seminars, Grandfather's birthday dinner on Thursday, then got sick, Sandra's farewell bbq at Faye's on Saturday, then sleepless CLM... sigh... a whirlwind of activity in a short week.  I didn't manage to finish the page until last night!  Hence I can't say I'm totally satisfied with how it turned out.  But at least it's done.  And still on track.

So in the blink of an eye, Sandra's back in HK.  What ever happened to the last four weeks?  Time is flying by a little too quickly for my liking.  And where did this week go?  It's Thursday tomorrow already... aiya!

Why Me?

I'm sick, tired, slept 1hr in a span of 48 hours, coughing out my lungs and CLM still won't sleep. 點解? Why me? He's been up since 3am, wanting to play again. Same as last night. I thought he grew out of it already?? I went as far as locking him in the washroom to cry it out himself but since he's so stubborn, I knew it wouldn't work. I feel miserable, my nose is dripping non stop, head is pounding and stomach is hurting from all the coughing. Definitely a FML kinda night.

Pink Panther 傻豹

A really gross but funny thing happened last week: CLM 爆屎渠 (again, ya, so what's new?) and then didn't make a single move to let on that he did.  文生 went to pick him up, still not realizing and then brought him over to me.  All of a sudden, 文生 goes "WHOA!!" and I looked up to see his arm and shirt all covered in CLM-jam.  O-M-G....at which point, I look at my own arm and I see a trail of yellow wetness happening.  In my quick efforts to grab CLM's hand and prevent him from licking/sucking his fingers, which he loves doing lately, he slapped his poo-filled palm on my FACE!  Right...next...to...my...mouth...

All we could do was laugh it off.  I'm so glad I was in a good mood that day, otherwise all that crap would have literally hit the fan.  LOL~!  After two baths for CLM, 文生 and I took turns cleaning ourselves up.  What a hilarious yet nasty experience.

CLM is full of 屎屎 stories.  Lately, for some odd and weird reason, he started having the need to 爆屎渠 (and I do mean it, it's a LOT and it's REALLY NASTY) at 4am.  Yup, four in the morning.  When he should be sleeping!  He'd wake up, fuss, get me confused since I have no idea why he'd be fussing, then quietly goes without letting me know!  Of course until it's too late and leakage happened already.  Sigh... A few nights ago, I got smart and paid attention to the little tiny hints despite being half asleep.  I noticed CLM's stomach poof up a little bit and so I reached over to his bum and felt the gentlest little tiny vibration.  As soon as he let it out, he immediately stopped crying, turned over onto my bed and fell asleep!  吹漲!  Being the good mother that I am, I HAD to change him even if it meant I'm going to risk waking him up.  Just when I thought the little vibration was something small... yep, he 爆屎渠'd.  So quiet, so civilized.  Definitely living up to his name.  Good Curtasee!  (Well, what else can I say??  LOL!)  Good as long as you don't pull another one of them Curtasee 屎手拍娘面...

This page was done on Sunday, just too lazy to post it!  Really!

Saturday was 八兔兄's cow one party and CLM had a chance to test ride Evan's high chair!  He liked it so much that we went out to get one for him the very next day.  Talk about spoiling him, lol.  Well, that or we'd have to hold him all the time since he had no where to sit anymore, hahaha~

Sometimes I do wonder where my mom comes up with such funny things to say to CLM.  I can truly see how happy she is and how much she's enjoying taking care of him.  So CLM is still not a very good napper and since he's so nosy all the time, it makes things worse because he's fighting himself to stay awake.  I literally LOL'd when my mom commented: 「都唔知點解佢咁眼瞓都唔瞓覺. 傻豹咁嘅眼都仲要死撐」.  She meant this:

So 貼切!

Highlights of Week 31

The highlights of week 31:  food and rain... seems like that was all it was last week.  Ate lots on my birthday, then Gootoe and 細V came over for some surfing and turfing on Friday, followed by Scarborough Ribfest yesterday.  CLM's first Ribfest and more to come!  Damn those onion flowers were $10!  I couldn't, just couldn't make myself buy one so looks like I'll end up making one sometime in the future.  This week, I had my eye on making a Japanese cheesecake.  Maybe I'll haul arse today and finally bake it.

Rain...well, it was a wet one.

I Never Thought I'd Say This

When no one else can calm CLM down, he stops crying and gives me the biggest hug as soon as I pick him up!!  I never thought I'd say this but IT FEELS SOOO GOOD!!!

Damn it feels good!
