Change

After 4 years and 4 months at the end of this month, I will be saying goodbye to my current company.  4 and 4, didn't realize it until I counted as I write this post.  I feel teary eyed as I write this.  This company has been given me so much and more, but has also "taken a lot of me".  It pushed me to boundaries I have not explored and made me exert more than I thought I could possibly achieve.  This company helped me achieve one dream --- three times.

It goes without saying that I am leaving not because I wanted to but I needed to.  I always thought that this would be my last company.  That I'd retire with them.  Some good things never last.

When we moved to Melbourne, they helped me transition by still taking me as a contract staff.  Me - moving far away from the location where  responsibility lies was a chance my boss took, but he helped me achieved it.  I thank him for all he has done for me, for fighting for me.  He was one of the few good men.  He has his moments but most of the time, he was just great!

The last year was a bit of up and down for me.  I guess with more responsibilities on my plate at home, it made me a bit restless working.  I got so paranoid, annoyed, tired.  Couldn't really sleep well because of work.

Anyway, to cut it short.  I didn't accept the contract renewal.  I decided to accept a new job.  The Lord has been leading for a change.  A big one if I may say so.  But, I believe the Lord's promise that this change will open up to more blessings for me and my family.  I just have to stop fighting it.  As my boss said, accept change with a smile.

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.
