You Are Viewing Being a Mom

Months ago, I have already planned the party. I am glad I did because it was just early this month that I got to confirm everything; the venue, motif, guest to invite, program and the invitation. Everything seems to be fine now, but it went from a crazy planning to a crazy spending. All seems to be worth it if Hannah will enjoy her party.

For now, I am drafting her birthday party invitations to be given to her classmates Monday next week.

Good Luck to me!

Hotel Del Rio is having a Facebook contest for this Summer and I let Hannah join.

I don’t buy things for myself now. Even if my salary is above average, It’s not enough to finance the needs of my family.

I am a single parent, and an only child. Often, I would think that what will happen to me in the future, or to my family if my salary won’t be enough? Well, I guess I just have to work for my dreams to come true.

Anyways, my Mom bought me shirts. Actually, pretty much everything I am wearing everyday are either things given to me by my parents or cousin.

I guess being a Mom is like that huh? You just get too old for them, you’ll always be their baby. I am kind of like that to my kids too. Even I know they have millions of toys already, most of them broken within minutes after having it. That never stopped me from buying them more, even though my money is just enough for that.

Selflessness of being a Mom!

I love Saturday’s and Sunday’s because its those days I get to spend most of my time with my family, especially with my kids.

I used to think that having kids would be a burden, and that what scared me before when I got pregnant.  I must admit it was hard having a baby, but it didn’t stop me to have another one.

It was really a fulfilling experience having to see my children grow the way they are now. It somehow made me proud of myself. My children are so sweet and they are showy of their love.

I want to share what happened awhile ago.

My daughter walked in, in my room with a pack of chaymito in one hand and bananas in the other. She hopped into my bed and gave me a banana and chaymito. These are the moments that makes me feel happy being a Mom. I know I am not perfect, but it doesn’t stop my kids from loving me.

Kids are great and I am happy God gave me the perfect kids for me.

Life is good!

If you are close to me, then you might know that my Mom is not actually my best friend kind of Mom. In fact, in most of the days of our lives, we spent it arguing with each other. This morning was kind of different. It was one of the rare days that Mom would surprise me with her Mommy power.

What happened?

Well, I have been working my ass out to cope up with the financial needs in the house and my Mom knows that I do my best in everything. Even if we argue a lot, she knows that she brought me up well and that I am a responsible person.

So, when I arrived home from the office she asked, ”Aren’t you going to sleep yet?” I answered, “No, just finishing up some things to be able to work smoothly next week.” She then went down stairs, and when she came back, she brought me a cup of hot noodles. With a smile on my face, I said thanks. We had a bit of a chit-chat then I told her I am just gonna sleep now then work on things later when I wake up. She then leaves the room smiling.

I can’t help but appreciate her being a Mom when she does that, and maybe its good the she rarely do that for me to appreciate her greately.

Being a Mom is not a simple thing. Not all women are blessed to have this gift. God had choosen me to be a mother of two at a young age. I admit that I don’t think I was ready for such responsibility when I got pregnant, but I let His will be done. So, I take on love and life with an additional two precious lives attached to me.

Like my Mom, I think I am not the best friend kind of Mom, because often times when I correct my daughter, I lose patience and shout at her. But, that doesn’t stop us from loving each other. It hurts me when I do those kind of things. STRESS just sucks the hell out of me most of the time, that I could not control my temper. However, I do my best in avoiding those situations.

So, my daughter may be scared of me when I get angry, but at least she knows well enough that she could count on me for comfort. Just awhile ago, she went into my room bringing a fake flower.

She comes closer and tells me, “Mommy, this is for you.” I smiled and kissed her. She then snuggled with me in my bed and told me, “I locked my room.” She then covered her ears, “Lola Mommy is going to shout at me.” I smiled and say, “It’s okay. Mommy will handle it. Just go to sleep so that Lola Mommy won’t have the chance to shout at you.” So, not long after our talk, I heard a snore. She had fallen asleep while I was writing this post.

This is a beautiful day. I am feeling the love of the family and that just inspires me to work my ass out.

True, because today my daughter won an iPod Touch! I am a proud Momma. See this video of an iPod Touch. I just can’t wait to hold it.

My daughter watched the movie with Chuckie doll in it. I know it is not right for her. She tells my mom that she is scared, yet if my mom changes the TV channel she would cry because she wants to watch Chuckie.

Anyway, we sleep with lights on last night because she is scared to sleep in the dark.

I really think that Chuckie is too brutal for her to watch.

My mom told me, that my daughter likes watching horror because when I was pregnant, I would often watch those kind of films.

Last Saturday when my family went out to shop together, I bought my kids sunglasses. They both love wearing it and they did when we attended mass last Sunday.

Here are the pictures:

Plus my daughter really needs it now since she have sore eyes.

My daughter is asking for chocolate every morning she wakes up. This is because of the reward I have been given her. Now, she is interested to learn because she wanted to get a price.

This was taken during our study session together. We are building a hills of chocolate then eat each hill at random, whatever color she guesses. If she could not guess it, I eat the hill being pointed

My kids loves chocolate, this is my son’s picture after he has eaten his favorite Cappuccino Dreams.
