This BLOG chronicles my experiences as a parent and of the new things I learn along the way as I take upon this role of raising responsible, loving, happy and intelligent children.
When hubby told me last Monday that her mom wanted to see the kids today, I thought “Hey, that would be great! I can do my online work!” I have about 9 assignments due today, and a day without the kids means that I can concentrate on the work at hand, quitely.
But guess what? I looked at the bottom right corner of my PC and panicked! It’s almost 2PM and I’ve only made two tasks so far! Weeee! I can really get carried away once I start reading articles in the net, or visiting blogs. From initially browsing on english horse tack, I found myself reading a fashion blog minutes later. Boohoooo! If I want my online work done, I’d better prioritize it coz in a few hours, the kids will be back and that would mean the end of my ME time!
For a week or more, there hasn’t been work given to me. I felt like I’ve been ignored. You see, no work means no money. huhuhu I spent the slacking days clearing up the balcony and turning it into an extended play area for the kids. I was also posting some clothes that the little boy doesn’t use anymore for selling. And also browsing on fashion blogs, and shopping sites for refurbished netbooks. Anyway, even if I wasn’t inspired, I finished the two pending tasks yesterday and this morning I was greeted with loads of work! Yeyyyy! I thought they’ve forgotten about me.
It’s mid week and I am just preparing myself for hectic days to come starting tomorrow. I’ll be off to my language lesson in the morning. Friday I might have the time to work on my tasks so my weekends will be free for going out, either with the family or friends.
We’ve been going out with the kids more often for a walk since spring has hit our place. If we do this on a regular basis, who knows I might just see a nice numbers on the scales. (:
Yesterday, after breakfast I took them out hoping the little one will sleep in the stroller. He was dozing off during the walk, but as soon as we reached the playground, he immediately became alert again. We were out for a long time. Caity even complained that she was tired, so we had to stop by a bench for a short rest. On our way home though, we passed by another playground (the one near our house), and Caity asked to play some more.
It’s nice to be outside, but I can’t take out the kids everyday coz that would mean time off from house chores which needs to be attended to. It also disrupts their schedule just like what happened yesterday. It was the little one’s sleeping time when we took a walk, I thought he would fall asleep when we’re outside but he didn’t. So his morning nap was delayed for two hours. And once we got home, I had to rush making them food coz they were hungry.
But I’ll try to do it often, for the kids’ sake. They sure like being out.
Many drivers are reckless, the fact that even if they know they are driving, still they stop for a drink, and it becomes a drink too many. These cause a lot of vehicle and auto accidents.

There are a lot of reading glasses sold online that are less expensive and also very trendy. They have wide choices of designs, brands and kinds. I remember the last time I purchased my eyeglasses, it cost me more than those sold in the internet. And there weren’t much choices in the optical shop. With the online store, you can even get free shipping if you’re in the US. Lucky for those living in the US, but not for me. heh!
So the next time you want to buy a new pair of eyeglasses, scour the internet first to save big bucks. (:
Anyone with kids or has lived with kids would know how messy these little creatures can be, especially the very young ones. I have a 13 month old boy and a 3 year old girl and oh, there are dirty streaks on our sofa time to time. The latter though is already aware not to make any mess and has been trained to clean up her toys after she plays. But being dirty or food/juice spills can’t be avoided sometimes, and in our case its the carpet or the sofa that are the most difficult to clean.
While browsing earlier, I saw some futon covers and slipcovers. That’s it! Having slipcovers for the sofa is the best solution when you have tiny tots in the house. The covers can be easily removed and washed, sparing your sofa from dirt. Brilliant idea, isn’t it?
