Oh I'm loving and living my life.

It started with a paper house, a drawing and a prayer. My life isn't perfect. I said to myself that I would take care of my family the way that I have envisioned years ago. I would play the role of the mom that would prepare for her kids snacks for school, when they get home I would help them with their assignments. I would not spoil them but teach them things that they have to know cause I can't be around all the time. Sabi nga ni Jesus "Teach them how to fish, and they will never be hungry again."

As for my Schatzy, I help him with his needs, prepare his food (not all the time) and take care of him. It not easy to juggle my time, it needs balance, right timing and determination to finish my tasks. I am happy that my planner is filled with events and tasks that makes me very productive.

The fulfillment it gives me makes me happy. At least the simple things that I was longing for during my childhood are experienced by my family.

He's moving up to prep!

Kudos for our lil hero Jazer! He is now moving to prep this coming school year!He graduated with flying colors. He is one of the most outstanding students in his level.

I often tell Schatzy, myself and Fairy Faye that this is a group effort. If not for Ate Faye, lil hero won't wake up in the morning (they often struggle) have a yummy breakfast and baon. If not for Schatzy and me he wont be able to go to school and he wont have someone to teach him with his homework. Sometimes even his lil sis will help him and remind him with his homework.

That's why I believe this award is our family's group effort.

Here's my son with his best buddy.

She danced ballet...

My lil angel loves to watch kids, cartoons that have characters that dance ballet. One day, I have decided to bring her to a ballet class. She participated from the start. Listened to her teacher who is very good at her age... golden age! She stretched with her classmates. Look at her feet... she can do a tip toe.

In the end, the teacher told me that she is very young to learn (not for me).

I can see her passion that's why I enrolled her. In time she will be more than ready.... I know! hahaha

Trick or treat '10

Always in a hurry. We said that there would be no trick or treating for the kids this year, NOT! My son was so eager to be one of the zombies in plants vs zombies. So, yeah, I have to give in.=) He wore his costume last last year and I painted his face. We couldn't find a costume for my lil angel so I bought gauze and food color and this is how she looked.

The impromptu trick treating was a blast. Everyone like my kids costume specially my lil angels mummy? costume=)

Sickness...

Since sunday our family is sick. My lil hero is the only one who is safe. I have been suffering from cough and colds. Schatzy has dry cough too. I am worried about my lil angel who's fever goes up and down in a few minutes.

We went to the hospital and she had her blood test and urine exam. The results are good (thank God!) but still her fever goes up and down. I am a bit paranoid because she had a seizure a few months ago. I hope our family will be ok soon.

brokenhearted moms

What can break a moms heart? There are lots of factors that can break a moms heart. I learned that my cousin lost her baby while it was still in her tummy. A friend of mine lost hers after she gave birth to her baby. I almost lost my lil angel 2 weeks ago and the thought of it still hunts me. I hug her everytime I see her and kiss her a lot. I am a mom and I know how they feel. My husband told me that it's their babies time soon they will learn how to let go...

Mymy Help!!!

I almost lost my lil angel

Friday night, (the second night I was in the hospital because of my accident)Schatzy and I are ready to sleep. I was lying down in my hospital bed while he was fixing his blanket in the watchers bed. My eyes were ready to shut when his phone rang. My heart pumped faster. That call is from my relatives. They told me that my lil angel is on her way to the hospital. She was just teasing her brother and aunt, then she hummed a song... called my mom and when mother looked at her she was loosing her breath. Mom got a spoon to make way for air. They rushed her at once to the hospital. On their way, they saw my cousin who is a paramedic. For the second time, she stopped breathing. My lil angel, my fav girl, my mini me.

In the hospital, I begged my schatzy to leave me so he can be with our lil angel. He was half hearted to leave me but he really has too. If I can't be with my angel atleast he will be there for her. I know I can't stand or go to the bathroom on my own but I can call the nurse to help me. There he is, rushing to the other hospital where my lil angel is.

On my side of the story, what happened did not sink into me. I was telling the nurse what happened and she gave me a smile. She smiled while injecting the pain reliever in my Iv. That smile made me sleep and forget about everything.

I got a call early in the morning. It was a call from Schatzy. I can hear my lil angel singing at the background. Yes! It was a confirmation that she is ok. Then Schazy said that she is doing good they are just waiting for the results. I still couldn't eat a lot by that time. Not until my lil angel is out of the hospital. =)

Thank God my lil angel is ok. Thank God for all the blessings that we have. =)

Accidents do happen. =)

That afternoon, I called Schatzy to come because I was not feeling good but that time. I told him if I could take the day off. He told me that I could go but I need to be back after an hour. I opted not to go because I thought it was a waste of time.
Still with a splitting headache and the urge to go home to rest, I tried to work. I was transferring a not so hot cooking oil when the container collapsed… the oil spilled on my right leg. I was burned but did not feel the pain. I asked for a chair so I can sit and rest because I feel tired. Slowly I can feel the pain. The headache and the burning skin was not a good combination. Yes. Accidents do happen and I am glad it happened to me. I thank God that it didn’t happen to my Schatzy nor my lil ones and even my support group.

This is how my kids sleep... sweet noh!

Sundays are meant for Families

I can still remember when Toli was still alive, Sundays are meant for family. We would go to church then eat out. Sometimes, we would have lunch in the house... when everybody is there he would always smile and say "Kumpleto tayo ah! (We are complete!) Kulang lang si... at si ... kumpleto na sana tyo." Hahaha! Yes he would be thankful that the family (including the adopteds) is there. These simple things made him happy.

Most of the time when my Schatzy's off is sunday, we would go to church and have a nice family day. A simple luch or merienda then a good movie and a time to pray will do.

Today, we had our family day. They helped me first with my task and after it is done we went to a mall and watched SHREK forever after. It broke my heart to know that it would be the last. It is not your typical fairytale thats why I loved it so much. The kids loved it too. Well, my lil angel enjoyed it, she never made a noise inside the cinema (2 buckets of popcorn, a soda, nachos and dede did the job). Indeed, I am thankful for sundays.
