Entry: The Mommy Life: Life with a Toddler Friday, November 02, 2007



Boy woke us up today, hungry and lonely. Or was that yesterday. The days tend to meld into one and what I do remember are the smiles and the laughter Jack and I share. And of course, people's birthdays.

Vista still annoys the hell out of me on occasion, but my new Nokia e61i usually chases the clouds away especially since I can now surf on it.

Lately I have started writing fiction again and am now working on a relatively long tale about postwar survivors. The premise has me rather enthralled and the first night I sat 6 hours writing the first 3000 words.

Jack can speak both English and Mandarin now, to our delight. He is still the same happy child as when he was born and he's developed a repertoire of mischievous looks he flashes to people, including "the wink" which his aunty Grace was privy to. That's how he charms the girls, we realised, alluding to the many little girls that seem to always want to be near him. His Dad couldn't be prouder!

Continue to enjoy, Jack time goes by so fast. Before you know it he will be off to school. If writing is your dream continue to push forward, don't let anything get in your way.

Hey, it appears that you are super busy, but I'm wondering if you have any rejections you might like to share over at my blog Literary Rejections on Display. I love your sense of humor and your weird and varied talents, so I thought you might be interested in an airing of the big literary NO, if you have any. Check it out at www.literaryrejectionondisplay.blogspot.com I think your blog is cool!
