Mumblings

Starting our day at 6:20AM (I have to set it that way to give my slowpoke of a daughter 10 more minutes in bed) is no joke for me. Once upon a time, I used to be able to wake up early, it's more than a decade now. I cram to be able to able ride along with my dad to save tranpo fare (and later on splurge it on movie tickets or junk foods hehehe).

A bit nostalgic these days. A lot's changing in our lives and in our friends' lives. Sometimes I couldn't keep track anymore. I don't know if I'm doing a good job with the girls, sometimes I feel that I don't and it makes me think more. Gone were the days when you threaten kids and they will follow you. I don't think it will work now. Haha. When I was young, one look from my mommy was enough for me to start sweeping the floor or help with the dishes. Oh well. But, I miss those days. I miss my daddy and mommy. I wish things were still the same.

My husband's been bugging me to go home. And I keep saying no. It's hard not to go to work these days. Nothing's certain. Though I will be taking my compulsary leave on June then be working from home the week after that. Why? Ate A's going home for vacation for 3 weeks. My small prob now is that I still need someone to look after the girls for the third week that Ate A's not here. My boss didn't approve my request to work from home for 2 weeks, I guess it's too much. Maybe I can ask him if I can bring my girls to work? Haha.

Happy weekend!

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.
