That you were supposed to start the New Year in February?

It has taken me this long to recover from the holidays and this long to keep all chores and duties clear - it is still NOT done (far from it even) but I guess this year will have the same similiarities as last - insanely busy.

Let me recover some more and see if I can swing it by next week.

A quick update on our week(end).

Our best househelp to date needed to stop working, she has diabetes and last week, her blood sugar shot up to 375 and her blood pressure was 180/110. Her condition isnt ideal for working anymore.

Martha is staying with my parents again. Given the situation we have right now, it is highly probable that she will stay there until our move already :(. I could commute everyday, I really can but we have a schooler that needs to finish school. *sigh* The more kids you have the complicated it gets - and they have a wide age gap. So you mommies, plan your pregnancies together. They grow up together, go to school together! (In short, you guys need to get preggo this year! Haha!).

We are still scheduling Matthew’s operation. We want it to be done with this month so he can swim by summer. (He will have his heart broken if he finds out he can’t). He is an independent boy already. He gets by himself at the house for a few hours with food and more food (we live in a compound with relatives of course) until we get back from work. Most of the time Edil and I take turns sneaking out of the office earlier ;). We are living the American Life. *sigh*.

We do one load of laundry, iron, I cook in batches and do everything by ourselves already. We dont hire weekly help as Edil decided for us to learn the hard way. If not for Martha being a toddler, we could have gotten by easily. It is hard work, it takes discipline but it is doable.

Edil does the laundry! Yes, he does! I got lucky with him on that area. He also has gotten back to playing basketball once a week and lifting weights twice a week so he is beefing up again (Oh lala! LOL). Somebody suggested he take supplements with creatine ethyl ester to define and pump his muscles more but he declined. He just wants to get back into shape and not have bulges in the wrong places. Now if he quits smoking, Ill fall in love with him all over again, hahaha!
