Mommy Talks. Wife Stories.

After Daddy goes to Manila to work, our life transforms into one very ordinary family, sans the daddy.

Monday after Matthew gets home, we do homework, they eat merienda (Well, I also eat — so I think I need Apidexin already) and watch TV, play the computer and read. In between, they play, they play roughly, one cries, the other screams or in simpler terms, they fight. They can be adorable though when they are in harmony, which happens around once in about 200 possibilities.

You know why they really dont get along well? Because Martha is complete control freak who thinks she is the big sister (ahem, sounds familiar) and Matthew is just one fellow who loves to tease (when Im not looking) and cry wolf whenever his sister cries. I have to admit Martha is really at fault around 80% of the time. She is madamot with everything when it comes to her Kuya – her toys, the TV, heck even the sofa (Matthew sits at the floor to watch TV can you imagine). Whatever Matthew is doing, she needs to be doing it too. It can be a great way to trick her into doing something, like drinking her vitamins, but in all other areas, it’s one great pain in the a**.

This is what she likes to do as of the moment:

Bring out all the pillows and scatter them on the floor. And she DIVES. Head on. She tells me, “Ma, Martha wimming no. Puter ka lang.” Owtei.

Matthew is demoted to a corner to do assignments (he doesnt want to do it in a table. He wants daw dapat study table, maarte). Yan tuloy, sa floor sya nagsusulat minsan.

Martha lost a LOT of weight. She is now on three vitamins and Im thinking of getting her to her pedia. She is not sick. She just doesnt want to drink milk anymore. Her milk intake has been slashed down to 50%. She is weaning early I think (I force her to drink milk everytime). She eats well, but since she is only 2, she still NEEDS milk. 

Here she is about to throw a tantrum because she still wants to play outside when it’s already 5PM and we need to be going inside already.

This is us on a Friday.
Matthew is on the computer and Martha is doing lipstick:

Do you want a bigger version?

(Daddy, I use my Dora bag and put in a lipstick, my BNP ID and a dinosaur when I go to Lola’s place. That’s what little ladies have in their bags, ya know)

Totally out of the kwento, but can you guess what this is?
