Writer’s Workshop: She said that?

Side profile of Tiger girl

Tiger girl has been talking a lot since she was two. What started off as single words morphed into short sentence and now into lengthy discussions.  At 3 years old she is able to have a two sided conversation with you , voice out her own opinion together with a lengthy explanation.

Just the other day I was sharing on my Facebook status  about the stern 3yr old housekeeper which I have. We seldom cook on the weekend and normally eat out or pack lunch or dinner back. As my hand phone was still in the charger I didn’t bother to unplug it and bring along.

When I came back I received a shelling from Tiger girl.

This is what she said.
“Mummy why didn’t you tell me that you were going out to buy dinner?
Do you know that you need to let me know if you are going out?
Why didn’t you inform me and bring me along?
Why didn’t you bring your phone along?
Do you know that I called you but there was no answer because you didn’t bring your phone along ?
Next time bring your phone when you go out so I can call you.. understand???
It really sounded like an what I would have said to a teenager rather then something from a 3 year old.

What have your kids said that made your cringe?

Writer’s Workshop: Oh..Not Done Yet

Bee in the middle of the flower

Bee in the middle of the flower

Every month I start off  setting my goals for the month and do a recap of what I have been doing with a Highlight of the previous month.  For the month of July and August I have set many tasks which I wish to get completed which unfortunately didn’t get done.  Like the bee on the flower above it has been an extremely busy month and things will only get more crazy  around here as the kids will be having their exams soon.

1. I have yet to start an exercise routine which really works for me.
Even though I do know that it is important to have regular exercise the only exercise that I am having so far is Zumba every Monday when R is in town and climbing up the stairs to our apartment. Now that the Wii has been repaired  I will be resuming Wii-Active twice/thrice weekly.

2. There are still many outstanding book reviews to be completed.
Even though I have been telling myself not to accept any new books to review since I haven’t completed those on hand but those offers which have been coming via e-mail this month have been too irresistible. The topics of the books on offer happen to be on the topics which I am currently researching on.

3. I have yet to complete the faith formation syllabus for the kids
Even though I had decided to start  formally introducing the kids to our faith there are still many issues and aspects of it which I have yet to discuss with R. I hope to have all the issues ironed out by the end of this year so we will definitely be  able  to execute our plan come 2014.

What is on your list which is not done yet?
