I don’t know if it’s just coincidence, but it happens yearly. My darling boy gets sick a week before his big day. Today he called me at home asking if I could fetch him. He was running a fever and had a terrible headache. My poor little boy, if I can only be the one sick instead of him. Anyways, he asked me to cook his favorite arroz caldo (rice porridge). It’s a joy to see him eat, finishing a big bowl even if he was not feeling well. I wonder what he’ll ask me to cook next.

This is what I did with my darling boy Josh the past long weekend. We spent some time playing the Time Crisis and just enjoyed ourselves to the max. He was the first to choose a gun, leaving me with the inferior one =( I didn’t really mind at all since he is the expert in this game. Too bad his teevee is kinda small and it was kinda difficult to see and hit. Haha, excuses! This is one of our favorite games when we go to Timezone. So instead of spending a lot just to be able to finish the game, we thought of buying the game and just let him play at home. It’s pretty cool! A nice way to de-stress. You know just bang! bang! bang! your woes away, harhar.

Seems like for the last 4 weekends, we have been watching movies. Oh I love it when N treats us to movies. It’s a nice way to bond with my teenagers. We get to have dinner together at any restaurant we pick, we can play at timezone while waiting for the movie, or probably shop for a good 30 minutes. It makes us closer as a family. I wonder until when this will happen. And while we are still at it, all I have to do is enjoy the company of my teenagers. Yeah yeah teenager is stressed here. Gosh it’s frustrating to have teenagers, sometimes I don’t and I can’t understand how they think. I try to be cool as much as possible, but most of the time I can’t cope up. So all I do every night is pray for them. And the Lord has answered my prayers. The teachers said they’ve improved a lot in their attitude, which gave me a sigh of relief. All I can do now is really pray harder and harder, for I can’t really take full control of them anymore. Gone are the days when I can “terrorize” them to do some things. Oh I love motherhood, a never ending challenge!

Can she be strict? She placed a warning post it on the mirror. Apparently the helper cleaning her room did something with her headbands. I love how my darling doll turned out to be. Now she takes care of her things. She can even fix her own room now. She used to be soooo disorganized, but now that she’s a little older, she wants everything neat. You will seldom find clutters in her bedroom. Even her desk is spic and span. I wonder who she’s like…AHEM!

This is what we do every night before Ish goes to bed. In between watching TV, I blow dry her hair. She likes to take a bath at night so she won’t wake up early in the mornings just to get ready for school. And she said something like, “I don’t want to bother you in the mornings Mom, to comb my hair.” Yes, I used to do that every morning before she goes to school. She wants me to style her hair, nah make that fix her hair. She claims that she does not know how to put the clip properly. She claims too that whenever I’m the one putting the clip, her hair stays in place. I’m happy with our bonding time. If my darling boy goes for a massage, then my darling girl goes for a blow dry. Mommy’s special touch is still there, it’s one way of showing my love for my kids.

I was just starting to read these books again (actually I am done with the first few pages) and what do you know, I was put to test right away. I just couldn’t control my anger and my temper rose to great heights. There are just times that we parents get so frustrated and it just breaks our heart. No, I will not stop reading this book even if N does not believe in it, he has his reasons for not believing and I couldn’t quite firgure what. Oh well, the joys and frustrations of mommyhood, it’s sometimes hard to cope up.
