Happy, Happy, Happy

Think Happy Thoughts. That's my mantra lately. Though, there's still unwelcomed ones. I smile more often now. Really.

So, how did I fare with "To Dos" so far. Errrmmm... Squirm here now...

1. Spend more time with the girls. Read and play with them when I can. And, not to get angry but to talk to them first when they're being makulit. Be a better mother and model to them. Well, well, good thing this is number one. I think I get an 8 here. Though I still have to work on it some more especially "the not to get angry part" --- I think I'll get there in due time.

2. Be a loving wife. I haven't really asked Pre if he has seen any changes yet hahaha But I try not to get him riled often now.

3. Lose A LOT of weight. My actual resolution is not to eat any chips this year. Some days I get this bad "manas" and I feel it's because I am storing lots of fluids in my body because of eating too much salty foods. Hmmm so who said New Year Resolutions are keepers? I fail here --- big time. I still can't resist my chipsssssss wahhhh (Note to Tita Avs --- the Piknik is still unopened but I took some of the mini Pringles hahaha) I haven't started any exercise regime though I have cut down on rice during dinner time. Result, I am still overweight! Pre noticed it (from afar, mind you, how big I am now --- I was even wearing black then) and that was a bummer.

4. Enough Whining. Enough said, right? Ohhhhhhhh have you read my other posts lately? Hahaha. Really, really want to stop whining about work but my boss ooooppps sorry, I am starting again. Hehe.

5. Save. Oh. I have started a bit. I even convinced Ate A to open MySavings account with POSB. This savings account has a higher interest than the normal. But, the downside is I still check MWL's blog every Thursday haha.

Just a little Bebi A'ism. Every word that comes from her mouth now has a "y" at the end --- Fishy. Milky. Also, when we ask her to shake her bootie, she does it with gusto! She looks so funny! Reminds me of Dawter T when she was at that age.

About Dawter T. It's her last year in Pre-School and I've been busy surfing nearby Primary school websites. Really want her to go to a good school, at the same time, I don't want her to be so competitive in her studies. Some of my local colleagues mentioned to me that it happens especially if you enroll your kids to the "good" schools. Dilemna. Dilemna. Praying really hard here. I want her to enjoy school rather than it becoming a burden to her young life.

Speaking of trying to encourage her to enjoy school. Her daddy told her that she will give her a dollar everytime she gets a star. After 3 weeks, she has now a total of 9SGD which goes to her Nintendo DS fund hahaha. That's what she wants. But, I hope to convince her to just save it. Haha. I don't want her to ruin her eyes this early. Also told her last night that I will give her a dollar everytime she ace her spelling quiz!

Whew. January is almost over. Looking forward to next week's holiday (Chinese New Year) when we only need to come to work for 2.5 days. Gong Xie Gong Xie!

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!

Me! Me! Me!

Last night, I created an LO using the picture below when Bebi A happened to see it. She touched it and said "Me?!" "No, it's me!" I told her. It was really me when I was Bebi A's age. The similarities will not be able to deny that Bebi A is my daughter hahaha I just hope that my bubbly and sunny bebi will not get the mom's sumpong(s). This is one of the few baby pics that I have. I used to have 3 baby albums but one of the worst floods that hit Pinas also took away my memories. Now, this is Bebi A.

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.
