The One Where We Don't Have Enough Sleep

I am lucky if I get to the office before 9am. My worst time yet is 940am. Whew! But I have my reasons, I just don't know if it's valid in the corporate world.

When I get up at around 10 to 7am, I usually head to the kitchen to get my pump and 2-3 empty milk bottles. 30 minutes and 2-3 full bottles later, I take a bath and dress up. Being the turtle that I am, it usually takes me 20-35 minutes to take a bath. Thus, I wouldn't be able to reach the bus stop at 8am.

I tried to wake up earlier. The thing is, when I told you how Bebi A never made me get up in the night when she was 2-3 months old, her sleep cycle suddenly changed. She is now awake at 2am, playing. Sometimes, kicking her dad, talking to us while our eyes are closed. It's either we indulge in this early morning playtime or just ignore her (kawawa naman). Sometimes, she sleeps as soon as she felt her tactics are being ignored, but then, this baby can be persistent at times, she will give you that toothlelss smile of hers, then you'll feel compelled to smile back. Sleep forgotten.

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!
