Things I Learned without the Maids

1. I learned that I really do not like to cook. Id rather eat bread, eat out and eat anything that doesnt require me to cook. Edil cooked breakfast for the whole weekend. Truly.

2. I learned that I cannot live without running water. Hence, Im bombarding my parents with pleas to look for another house. Yes, I want to move again. Same big house, but with running water please.

3. I learned that Im naturally and instinctively lazy. I need to force myself to work.

4. I learned that I really need a maid. I lost $50 worth of work because I needed to do the work of the maids. And for $50, which I would have earned in a day, that would be enough for their salary. So yes, bring on the maid.

The Bahay Kubo Mansion

I was able to watch it at Mel and Joey last night. They featured it and I was just blown away with all the features the architect (who was also the owner of the house) added to it. It had high ceilings, plenty of greens and lots and lots of water. Which to me, all boils down to this - fresh air! (I think that is a must for me from now on). Most of his furniture was made of kawayan/bamboo or coconut. The sconce was made out of husks. It was sooo nice!

Hearty Weekend

We had a nice weekend. Edil got his quarterly incentive pay so we had the chance to take out the kids on Saturday. We went to the mall, ate pizza, bought some things for the kids, came home dead tired and then watched replays again and again of Toy Story. Sunday we went to my parents’ house where there was salad, potato balls, steak and spaghetti. Oh gosh, I seriously would need to order more weight loss pills after what I ate last weekend. Im going to my parents’ house to work on the treadmill too, let’s hope the extra calories will be burned faster.

Backyard Improvements.

We had the backyard area fenced in with what is the allowable place for the children to play about. We also had some laundry lines put up - we needed more. Now the next project is to fix the laundry area and elevate the watershed - we need cement for this. I hope the outdoor lighting will be changed as well. I want white lights and we still have yellow bulbs on the lights at the back. One project at a time, I know. Patience.

Work Online

Life in the Suburbs
Day 4 - June 20, 2008

I needed to work online for most part of the day. Martha has been a pain, but Matthew is really torture. I really need to keep my cool because I tend to snap a lot. That’s not good.

Had a nice talk with a friend who visited.
Im trying to keep my sanity (and grace).

____
Im have been having serious scrap-hybrid itching. I have organized my hybrid supplies and even found some Thermal labels I dont need. My Dad will sure need them.

Of Babies and Spacing them

So a friend of mine and I got into chatting what would be the perfect time to have another baby. Most of my friends and relatives are having (or just had) their firstborns (most of them are in Martha’s batch). So since most of them are two years old, the talk of making another one is natural. I would love to have babies - I actually want many of them - but sadly, I have to admit that I cannot take care of so much without going mad! I am so inspired by mothers who seem to still keep it cool and look fab even if they have 5 kids under 7! :) I might also run out of baby girl names :D.

So what is the plan? We want four or five. But the Baby Number Three will appear when Martha is four or five and then Baby Four and Five just a year after :D (But who am I to make plans. I just hope I wont get preggo anytime within the next TWO years hahaha!)
