In 3 Weeks,

3 weeks more!!

I still can't believe Hubby will be home in 3 weeks. It's weird, I feel really anxious. Excited and yet anxious. We've been apart for too long that I have forgotten how it was to be a couple. I make decision on my own, I do the groceries on my own, I sleep alone and everything else I do without him. Admittedly, I don't even mind if he has brought home any pasalubong or not, as long as he's home. I know that many of his friends from here are asking for a little something like Dutch Master cigars and some fancy chocolates. I miss him too much to even care about what he brings home as long as he brings himself safely I am good, however I should get ready to make adjustments. This would surely be like when we were newly married.

Ahia Is Here.

I am so proud of my little Ozzy, he has been very helpful lately. Whenever I am cleaning his baby brother's poop he would gladly help me by throwing the dirty diaper in the trash bin. He also packs away his toys without me telling him to. He offered me water once when I was too sick to stand (this one I was amazed as to how sensitive he was).

One time, when I was getting something outside the room, I left the 2 boys inside, after a few minutes the baby started crying. As I was about to enter the room I heard Ozzy comforting the baby whispering in his ear,"That's okay Shoti, Mommy is busy, I'm here." Isn't that just the sweetest thing?

Pump It Up

My brother, the #1 slacker and procrastinator of the house FINALLY (after months of talking about it) signed up for gym. Last I checked with him, lots of plaster strips were all over his sore and aching body. Talk about total body workout - and that was only his 3rd day! His goal? bigger body and abs so that he can show off his new body next summer. My unsolicited advice for him, I think he should consider bodybuilding supplements so help him in his goal! Hey, that was my goal too not too long ago. With 2 kids under my belt, I've stopped dreaming of the perfect 6-pack and settled for my 1-big pack. Right now, I am just happy to keep the weight off even though I won't have a super flat belly. Anyway, good luck Bro - I'd give you a month, more or less.

Friday Fill-Ins#150

And...here we go!

1. The last band I saw live was TOO long ago, but I remember it was a sweet, sweet date for me and Hubby!!!.

2. What I look forward to most on Christmas is the food and family gatherings. (if you don't celebrate thanksgiving, insert your favorite holiday)

3. My Christmas/holiday shopping is way overdue.

4. Thoughts of my hubby's homecoming (26 days more!) fill my head.

5. I wish I could wear knee length boots here in the Cebu without being stared at.

6. Bagpipes look awkward to play.

Happy Weekend!

Amazing Ozzy

It's amazing how advanced, technologically-wise kids are nowadays. My son at 3 years old can operate my laptop, the tv, dvd player, iTouch and cellphones. I bet if I would teach him how to he can even do more. All those things I mentioned above he learned just by simply observing how we grown ups did it. Amazing. I had to put a password in my laptop because that's the only thing stopping him from playing with it when I am not around (unless I hide it from him).

Anyway, I saw him man handling the DVD player earlier and I just hope it didn't get busted or else I'd have to get a new one for the house. A new bluray DVD player sounds good. I've also wanted a portable DVD player for the longest time now. I hope I can find something on sale.

Am I Doing The Right Thing?

Been quiet these past few days because I was sick. So sick to even stand and carry my own baby. Good thing I pulled it through because I never ever want that to happen again. Anyway, you can read about that here.

Just a quick update on Ozzy's mealtime drama. I have noticed he has been losing weight and that worried me. Although I will stick with my guns and follow the plan. The idea is to let him be. If he doesn't like to eat during meal time, then so be it. He doesn't eat. Mostly what happens is he skips breakfast and eat a hearty lunch and supper. Sometimes he doesn't eat as much during dinner time but I just let him be. I guess its better this way so that we won't spend so much time and effort forcing him to eat. If we force him, he spits the food out which is pretty frustrating. He would run around the house and hide from us. So, I let go. He would have to learn the importance of food sooner or later right? I hope I am doing the right thing here.
