Hi: Lost of activities and family gatherings this month.
Lo: We need to travel a lot and it can get quite expensive. Plus, I do not have a maid nor a husband to help me pack – I have two kids and myself to think of. (I am not joking, I need to make sure we are covered until the end  of the month.

Hi: The husband is doing great at his job.
Lo: We sacrifice a lot not to have a normal weekend these days. I am praying for guidance on what would be the best thing to do about it.

Hi: Work has been doing great too.
Lo: It tires and drains me a lot. I try not to complain because I may not have as much work next month though. And like a friend said, there are laws of attraction. I have much money now but we also have so many expenses. For example, we need to get updated with Matthew’s school’s fees, shell out money for house maintenance (like making sure refrigerator water filters are replaced), etc.

Hi: It feels great to be able to help people.
Lo: It gets depressing knowing you can only help as much.

Hi: Nobody is getting sick! *knock on wood*. I am very very thankful on this part.
Lo: I’m quite paranoid actually. I make sure that the kids are taking their vitamins everyday and have gotten Martha back on her puffer – because the weather changes are crazy I am afraid it will trigger an asthma attack. Since we travel to the city often these days I shell out a lot to make sure they eat right and sleep and rest. I cant afford (financially and emotionally) to have someone in the family get sick right now. That includes myself.

It’s back! I never got to update this blog for a week when everything has just been crazy busy, crazy bad, crazy good and happy all at the same time. Let us see if I am able to squeeze in much into one post.

Hi: Being able to go to Manila.
Lo: Going there because of health problems (mine). Last last Saturday (12th Sept), I got admitted to the hospital for some outpatient procedure. OB-related. Nope, not preggers!

Hi: Being able to spend some time alone away from the kids for three days. It was a refreshing change after taking care of them all by myself for the past two months. It can get quite draining.
Lo: Missing them. It’s always a two-edged sword.

Hi: Edil adjusting at work.
Lo: Not being able to see him for a month now. Our car has been getting a lot of engine trouble and we need to replace a lot of car accessories for it soon.

Hi: Jobs pouring in like cats and dogs.
Lo: Like the law of attraction, it also comes out as fast as it arrives.
