Just when I had a lot to share, the internet at home goes down. Argh!

Many things going on with the family — health issues, (lack of) money issues, and just issues! LOL. Matthew was diagnosed with Primary Complex, and he has to be on meds everyday taking three kinds for six months. Everybody in the house needs to have an X ray as well to determine where he got it. Worse, when baby G arrives in a couple of months, she will be at risk immediately. *sigh* I need to have myself checked for gestational diabetes. Matthew needs to be enrolled for Prep School by March 3rd, I’m nearing my 8th month and I can’t even boast of baby things, our room is in need of renovation for it to be cleared up for addition number 2 to the family…and the list goes on….and on. We are holding up though, it is just one of these phases where everything seems to come at once and you are overwhelmed, but it goes away quickly. Like what I always say, just relax, and it will fix itself on its own way
On other news, we (Edil and I) are talking about our action steps for the coming months. He would need to stop school in June either to 1) look for a job, or 2) take care of the baby and I would either 1) quit my job and become a SAHM reviewing for NCLEX, or 2) still quit my job and look for a much better paying one. I would personally prefer doing Number 1 for me, and Edil do Number 1 for him as well, but it all boils down to whatever oppurtunity comes along by June. My parents are pressuring me to take the NCLEX soon (as in sooooooon), and to be honest, who doesnt want it to be over and done with? Heck, if money was not an issue I’d have just stayed home and reviewed and reviewed. But with almost two kids, it can be tough choice. I’m also not so keen on leaving Baby G if ever I pass. Im giving myself up to December this year to take it, by hook or by hook, and finally start our papers by next year.

I’ve been on a scrapping roll lately, with no internet, all I do was to scrap and scrap and not surf and stalk blogs. Edil has FINALLY appreciated what I have been “wasting” time on and ordered me to make a layout for Matthew’s first months so he can frame it above his PC, before Baby G comes. He also has been interested on all the grungy effects he has been seeing on my kits and have been borrowing my fonts. Heehee. When money stops becoming an issue (hopefully after the baby comes), he will be upgrading his PC’s memory and drive so we can have faster programs. My laptop has primarily served as my scrapping site, and he bought me a laptop table for my birthday
I have started scanning Matthew’s pictures and I’ve been such a sentimental schmuck going thru photos of my son growing up.

If you dont know, my son was born with prenatal teeth (I have to scrap those one of these days) but it had to be taken out on his 4th month since they were jagged and since he had little control of his tongue, he had mouthsores. This was inspired by this layout by Shabby Miss Jenn.

You know, with all these scrapping projects Im doing, Im determined all the more to preserve OUR memories. I need to take pictures more, even if Im not feeling pretty or if Matthew is in his dratty pajamas, and just capture everything. I have so many ideas on my head that I have a separate notebook aside from Starbucks planner for digiscrapping alone. It’s not about making artistic LOs anymore for me, it’s all about memories Making a LO is easy at most, I struggle almost always with the journalling. I need to work on that. Writing has always been easy for me, I have dozens of letters to my parents when I was a kid, and wrote sappy long letters to Edil when we were dating, and have maintained a blog for almost three years (friends only though). It would be such an emotional journey just reading through everything I wrote at LJ. Ha.

And like what I always end up blogging with:
If only work was NOT in the way. LOL

Good day, folks! I need to go home as Edil is worried I might be stranded with all the rallies going on here. Jeez, all this political instability worries, infuriates and scares me! Is there any hope for us?!

Stay safe
