I am alive. Barely kicking.

• The rain is making me furiously upset. I cannot go out, it makes me hungry all the time (well, I am always hungry). My kids are getting cabin fever. We cannot go out – did I just say that?
• We took the kids to a pediatrician last Saturday and oh my wow, I honestly cannot thank the heavens enough for letting me find an able doctor who I like and believe and trust. Most of all, she didn’t charge us.
• The downside is the kids are sick and are on antibiotics which are expensive. One bottle times three. Did I just say expensive? Oh, and they drink 4 meds each. Oh, did I just say expensive? That is why I hate the rain. I hate it.
• I have work burn out. Really. I haven’t worked since Monday. I know I would regret it because I won’t have money next week. But I need to rest my brain. It is so fried and burnt with sense that I should not even be learning. Can you tell I’m frustrated?
• I can go ahead and announce it now, especially to relatives and friends who lurk. We thought we were pregnant! NOT. Negative. So you guys can go ahead and ask me if I’m pregnant or not. On the other hand, a trip to an OB is on top of my to-do list as soon as the kids get well and my money isnt flushing down the antibiotics drain.
• Some really bad new regarding Edil’s work. I hope that things look up for us soon.

On more serious notes, these days I am faced with the realization of my mortality and how I am midway to meeting my death, if I get lucky and die when I’m 60. The icons of my times are gone and I have a hard time explaining to my kid how I needed to watch a funeral of a president on TV when he wanted to watch DVD movies.

How do you explain history? I never got to appreciate the Beatles or Kennedy or Marilyn Monroe, even the Pope John Paul II up until I was a teenager.

So many sad events for us 80’s kids lately. Do you feel a bit scared realizing that we are all grown up now?

As for Tita Cory, I will not remember her as a president or a mom of Kris.I will remember her as the woman who prayed and showed the world that prayer can really move mountains, in her case, squash coups, let her finish her term, let her become president, and yes, even let Kris change (or diba showbuzz!)
