Brown thing on a soft thing

Cooked Adam noodles for his lunch today (Sunday/16Dec).

All was going fine..till he went to the fridge looking for something..then comes to mummy and asked, "Where is the brown thing that you put in the fridge?".

Further questioning gets him frustrated, "It's the brown thing that you cooked long long time ago, the brown thing that you put on the soft thing!!! Don't you REMEMBER!!"

So we go to Daddy to seek his wisdom to decode the 'brown thing'. Adam elaborated abit further.."It's the brown thing that mummy cooked long long time ago, that you put on the soft thing!" We had to laugh..and that got Adam real upset, "It's NOT funny!!! Don't laugh!" Daddy asked if it's sauce, meat, how it's cooked...Adam replies, "Mummy cooked it on the cooking pot, the BROWN thing, that I want to put on my noodles; NO..it's not a sauce, it's not meat.DON'T YOU KNOW?? It's the BROWN THING! Mummy put it in the fridge before and we ate it LONG LONG TIME AGO..that we eat and put on the soft thing! It's soft and it's HARD!!"

Then he really cried, "You made me CRY!" I had to apologize to him as I did laugh so hard, I cried..so did Daddy! Poor Adam didn't find it funny at all!

David made him draw out his brown thing and yea,....he drew out something brown..have a look and see if anyone knows what in the WORLD it could have been that I cooked that can be put on a soft thing but it's not sauce or meat??

So...go figure out and crack your head trying to think what in the WORLD I cooked long long time ago that was brown and I put on a soft thing that was also hard?????!!!!!!!

When I do find out again what it was that Adam is talking about, I will DEFINATELY post it in here to let everyone know!!! HAHAHAHAHHHHAAA!!!!

Adam SO reminds me of the time when I was about 6 or slightly more and tried to tell my mum I wanted her to cook the thing that looks like an umbrella and she only cooks it when it rains! Haha!! What was it? At least my mum after many frustrating questioning and thinking hard, found out I wanted to eat mushrooms! Seems it only appears after heavy rain or something.

I want my (scrambled) egg back!! & doing homework.

Adam is restless during this school holidays and literally driving us both crazy with his hyperness! Talks non-stop and very defiant but I suppose it's something to do with him being the Terrible Four stage! Just this afternoon (12Dec), I made him scrambled eggs for lunch (2eggs) and he complains (yet again!) that I made too much for him and he can't finish after almost one hour of nibbling (only managed to eat 1/4 portion). David came back from the snakehouse and I used the 3/4 portion which Adam didn't **couldn't** finish and made a jaffle egg toast for David.
As soon as Adam saw that, he miraculously became hungry again and demanded that David had his throat cut and (scrambled) egg taken out so he can continue to finish it! Talk about imagination! David said he'll throw it up again but Adam declined, preferring Daddy's throat to be cut out so the eggs can be out whole instead! Sigh!
Then he told me about 10minutes later after being sooky about it, "Mummy, I'm angry with you now because you gave my (scramble) egg away to Daddy!!" Pretty tiring just trying to talk to this kid sometimes :)

I don't think Adam is enjoying himself away from school as he's bored without his playmates/classmates.

He still gets homework from me (only one page a day of writing numbers) and that's where he complains the most!!
"My hands are tired"
"I can't finish, you gave me too much homework"
"I think I need a rest now, can I stop and go to my room to rest?"
So far, he has fallen asleep TWICE while doing his homework!
He can stare at his homework for a whole hour without writing a thing (or when he does, he draws pictures or scribble all over the book EXCEPT write his number homework!!) and then complain to say he's tired!
Oh well....his school starts again on 28January2008. I'm counting the days!! haha!!

In the meantime, I guess I'll have to talk some sense into him that his complaints are just an annoyance and will not help him in anyway to get what he wants - he have to ask nicely and learn to listen. :)

Tired from doing holiday homework given by Mummy!

Fell asleep before his homework can be completed!
Only took him a WHOLE day till past his bedtime before he crashed!

Ho hum..I'd rather be doing something else which is more fun than homework!!
YAWN...!! Gosh..it sure is tiring just staring at my homework book for an hour..I think I'm tired now, since I can't play..so I'll just take a snooze...
This kid fell asleep while doing his homework, twice so far..on different days! How much homework? Just one page a day but some days, he can't even finish it as, "Mummy, you gave me TOO MUCH homework, I can't finish" complaints abound!

So far, he has fallen asleep TWICE while doing his homework!  Will post his sleeping poses later once I've reduced the file size.

Husband bitten by highly venomous snake!

At 6pm on 2Dec, I received a call from my husband, "Darling, do not panic, but I've been bitten by a Taipan and someone will come and get you"

That's the last I heard for the next 35minutes!! Can you imagine what was going through in my head!!! I thought my husband was at his snakehouse 10minutes away only and no call till 6.35pm when I got a call from Steve, a TV reporter, "He's in a stable condition now, do you have transport to come to the hospital?!!" What??!! My husband drives the only car we have and he asks if I got transport to go to hospital when I was expecting him!!

Reason for all these? The venom took effect in-within 5minutes of my husband being bitten and the people he was with was in a huge panic! He was bitten on the right thigh and there were 4 fang marks there - the snake must have been in a really bad mood - according to hubby, this Taipan has been quite docile and it could be due to the sudden change in environment that got it riled up.

He was very near to dying then and I'm SO glad they got him to hospital on time - got anti-venom put in and all. When I reached the hospital at 6.50pm, he looked slightly breathless and shivering with fingers all blue.

However, he's now recovering from the venom bite but have to deal with the after-effects from the anti-venom - he's got a few allergies - rashes, itchiness, numbness but at least he's alive!! I've posted a picture of the rashes he's got which you can partly see - there are lots more on his back and legs.

Might take him a few months to fully recover but at least I still have my husband.

Talk about adrenaline rush!

On top of all that, my 4 year old son was also having his first end-of-year Pre-school concert the next morning which hubby insists he must not miss since he's doing the introduction solo!

So, even though we were at the hospital till late, I took Adam to school, picked up hubby's staff to babysit hubby while I rushed back to attend Adam's first concert and then back to hubby again with son after his concert to watch over both my boys.

It's been a tiring few days (what with Adam starting his school holidays on 3Dec) and I'm still feeling the effect of lack of sleep from worrying and rushing around.

Early night again for me...hehe..even though it's past midnight now here ;)

Hubby also survived to celebrate his 43rd birthday today / 6Dec! Yay!
