Bits and Pieces

It has been so long, I am still trying to recover from the most exhausting month of my life. It was both exciting and tiring (well, tiring mostly) but I managed to survive, my household survived. Just some updates in our lives, hmmm, my daughters' lives.

I'll start off with Bebi A. She has grown a bit. And, has been eating a LOT! I couldn't fathom how a small toddler like her can pack whatever she's taking in. But, she has it all I want in life --- food and she doesn't get fat! Hahaha (icompare ba daw sa anak...) She's starting to mumble some coherent words, some of the most prominent are Ba-Bye, Ma-ma, Da-di and Te. Everybody who meets her tells us that she's like sunshine. Also, she's becoming a tv addict, in the mornings, she gets the remote control and mumbles something "blah blah blah" and points to the tv.

As for Dawter T, she has finished Nursery last Friday. I couldn't imagine that a year has passed. She got good grades, her teacher says that she excels in crafts (may namana sa mommy). She still ask a lot of questions. Just to share with you, she's asking about "monthly period" now and how she doesn't want to reach 15 because she doesn't want to get it. Scary, right? She's growing up too fast.

Christmas is getting near. Our tree is up. Got some new decors from Ikea to liven it up. Hopefully, I can resume my Christmas shopping soon and start preparing my tags and wrap those that I have bought.

Dress Code

If wearing jeans every day of the week is the gauge for a great workplace, my new job would have a tie with my last workplace in the Philippines. Yes, we can dress down the whole week. I am so thrilled with this prospect. First day was ok. My boss took a picture of me from camera phone and sent this picture in an email to the global team. Oh man! Workwise, I find the team to be so organized and that scares me. After being lawless for a year, it's a big turnaround. When I opened my email this morning, I got almost 70+ mails, and my training plan already laid out. They also gave me a web camera and headset for team web conferencing. (I really need to lose weight now, the camera will add a few more pounds hahaha) Then, I found out that they don't come to work on time and we can leave at exactly 545pm. Woohoo! That's one of the things that were nagging me but I was so pleased to learn that. We even had a 1 and a half hour of lunch time. Hmmm... This could be very...

Confession

Being a Mom.  Sometimes I feel as I am not cut out for it. Too much work.  Too much responsibility.  Too much worry. Worry that Ate T is taking the bus today.  Ate A's tooth is still in there and the new one has already come out.  Baby A has colds and is screaming and wants to cuddle. Sometimes it leaves me breathless. But When I pick up Ate T from our meeting place, I feel so proud of her because she has become independent and can commute.  Ate A's tenacity in wiggling her tooth and she's now toothless, doesn't need to go to the dentist to have it removed.  And, Baby A despite her colds still has appetite and it just feels good to hug her. God has showered me with so much love for giving me 3 wonderful girls.  It feels good being a mommy. Happy Mother's Day to all you wonderful Mommies!

Creativity

Dawter T called me up and told me that Bebi A tore her art and made a monster out of the girl in the picture. I know that it's not being mean. Bebi A doesn't have a mean bone in her body. She just don't understand. I talked to Bebi A. Asked her to kiss and make up with her Ate, She did. Ate A told me that she went up to Dawter T and kissed her, then asked "Is this better, Ate?" Awwww... Dawter T's "smashed" art was one of her best. I was really impresed. If only I have taken a picture of it this morning. It was really beautiful. It was a portrait of a girl, by the way. I hope that Dawter T can still replicate it. I know that not all kids are alike. And, my daughters have their own endearing qualities. One's art is different from the other. Dawter T has the potential (not because I'm her mom, ok ok, it maybe because I'm her mom hahaha) and Bebi A's, well, let's just say abstract. Hehe.
