Evolution of the little GREEN monsters!

WARNING: IF YOU ARE SQUEAMISH STOPPING READING THIS! hehehe! 

Gabie has the worst sleeping habits! She is like Edward and all those other vampires out there! She doesn't seem to sleep at night. Thus, her horrible pooing habits too! As I am about to hit the sack, she will say, "Mooommmmy, I need to poo!".  Ugh!!! You all know how i hate cleaning my kids asses! If they crap daytime, I call for the nanny.  If they crap at night at a still decent hour, I call on Max! hahahhaa! That's the standard procedure. But if they crap at 1 am or later, then I'm screwed! hehehe! That means I gotta wash the bum bum! 

So last week, Gabie decided to crap at 2 am plus! Her poo was bright green! I stare at it quite fascinated! I've never seen anything like it! It was bordering on neon green! I racked my brains on what she ate that day.  Nothing new! The usual chicken nuggets, tons of crackers and cookies, lots of milk! All the colors were just the boring beige! Nothing green!  Crap! Crap! What's going on?! I go to bed uneasy and truly puzzled.

After a few days, we went to the pedia, Dr Bong for the usual checkup.  So I told him about Gabie's strange colored poo! He said not to worry! As long as it's not chalky white or gray, then it was okay! And again, her crap returned to normal color by then.  The nanny also couldn't figure out why it was that color. She said Gabie didn't eat anything different!

Last night, Gabie again tugged on my arm and said she needed to poo! Lo and behold, at freaking 3 am in the morning, a bunch of little green monster is staring at me again! I was so bewildered by then! I can't f@#*ng?! believe they are back!  What the ...!?! Why!?! I'm so freaked out that I decided to wake up Max to look! He looked at them half asleep, mumbled something about getting a stool exam and went back to sleep!  My wild imagination was already in overdrive at that point! I was so worried that something must be wrong with Gabie. I quickly washed her butt, washed her hands, washed my hands and grabbed my laptop!

All I have to say is THANK GOD for google!! It really answered my question! The freaking culprit was just GATORADE GRAPE and SUNKIST GRAPE JUICE!  She kept drinking it that day.  Apparently, they have blue coloring that will turn your poop in that strange green color! 

So if you want to see GLOWING GREEN LITTLE MONSTERS, drink a ton of grape juice - kool-aid, sunkist, gatorade,etc..  

See, don't say I don't teach you guys anything interesting! hehehe!  My only regret is not grabbing a camera to document it! hahahahaha!

again ...

GRAPE JUICE = GLOWING GREEN TURD

a MUMU story!

I want to share this story with you guys in the spirit of HALLOWEEN!!!

On a cold stormy night, with the wind howling, I was working on my laptop (yes, you read it right - lazy me was actually working!) while Gabie was busy playing on the floor in my room! She suddenly ran to me and quickly jumped on the bed. She burrowed her face in my pillow and in a panicked voice said, "Mommy, I'm scared! I'm scared!!!" She then repeated the phrase several times! I'm like, "Scared of what?". While I quickly scanned our surroundings. She then said, "There is a MUMU Mommy!!" Uhm, at that point, I'm tried to act all cool and say, "No, there isn't any!" She insisted there was one and pointed towards the spot where she was. I tried to laugh and make light of the situation and said "Oh, Gabie, what is the mumu doing?". I tickled her and asked "Is it dancing like Barbie?". She shook her head and said "NO!" So I then asked "Ah, is it eating?" She again said "Nooooo!" Stupid me should have stopped, but I then asked "What is it doing then?" Gabie then replied, "Mommy, it's LOOKING AT YOU!!!"

I should have grabbed her and ran out the room. But for some reason, I just continued to sit on the bed and stayed in the room. Eventually, she said "No more mumu!" I'm hoping my naughty daughter just has a wicked sense of humor! Hahaha!

Everything you just read is a TRUE STORY. (Oh alright, I embellished a tiny bit with the weather. Hahaha! It just sounds better with the story rather than mild rain and a windless night!)

So how's your Halloween !?!

Mama's toe mishap

WARNING: THIS ENTRY COMES WITH GRAPHIC, GROSS PHOTOS OF A BADLY BRUISED TOE! (Pierre, I warned you!)

(This is my toe the following morning after the accident! Take note of how it looks! Then, checkout the picture of my toe at the end of the day!)
This is the story of the toe: After a long day of shopping in the States, we were all unloading the van. I grabbed the big diaper bag of Gabie, plus the video camera bag. So, I then proceeded to step out of the van! KABLAAMMMM! I suddenly smashed into the cement pavement! My ass connecting to the floor so fast I didn't even realize it 'til I was on the ground. Max, Lex, my parents, & Gabie looked at me in horror since I made such a loud sound. I'm really such a klutz!!! Apparently, the long strap of the video camera bag got hooked on the heel of my shoe! Of course, I didn't know that when I was trying to get off the van. Thank God I wasn't carrying Gabie. Everyone started fawning over me, wondering if I was okay. I quickly assured them that it was nothing. And I dust myself off the floor & pretend nothing hurts. All the while, my freaking pinky toe is throbbing! I guess, my toe must have gotten bent when I fell. Anyway, Max tells me to put some ice on it. Of course, I ignore this advice thinking that the pain will just go away!
Hello, I wake up the next day and my toe is painful, really swollen and has doubled in size! Max starts insisting I should go to the hospital! He thinks at this point I have broken my toe! I refuse the hospital, saying it's nothing.

Again, we leave the house for a full day of shopping. Walking becomes quite a task. Actually, my walk was more like dragging my right foot! Hahahaha! As the day progresses, my toe got nastier looking! The color quickly turned purplish black! It was quite amazing how fast the color changed.

Here is the photo of my toe by the end of the day: (Check out that lovely color! Oh, pls. excuse my toenails. I was planning to cut them, but never had the chance! Hehehehe!)


We went to Max's cousins house that night. Luckily, Annalyn (wife of Max's cousin) happens to be a nurse! Take note, she is a nurse & she freaked when she saw my toe. Her face was priceless. All the cousins started laughing. Annalyn was such a savior! She quickly bandaged my toe & told me what to do!
She said if I went to the hospital, they would have done the same thing even if it was broken.



Now the question is - did I break my toe?
I think it was broken! The accident happened about 2 months ago, and until now, my toe still looks funny! Hehehe!
