Do You Work From Home?

One of the fast rising employment option for moms out there is to work from home.

Being a netizen/blogger, I know several who are in this kind of work and I have great respect for them. Why? If it was me, I will have a hard time concentrating on live answering service if my toddler wants to play ball in the garden (this is hypothetical) or my the pile of clothes to be folded is almost toppling because of the weight (now this is my reality).

Imagine if the client hears your toddler’s pleas to play or the sound of thuds because the clothes toppled over?

Writing articles is something I have a hard time accomplishing especially when the inspiration is nowhere to be found. Imagine if I have to answer emails that scream “answer me now?!”

I’d probably be fired after a few days if I work like this 😀

Well, at least, these moms can hoop their way to fitness during breaks, right?

Emergency Kit

The inclement weather condition during the past two weeks had been horrible. The children stayed at the MIL’s home for safety reasons. When the flood waters weren’t scary yet as seen in the news reports, we were even joking that we need to get emergency items like more flashlights, big floaters, a big inflatable boat, a kayak (my idea lol) and first aid kit in a waterproof container. Throw in liquid image summit series goggles and we are ready to face the flood water should these dare inside the property this time.

Now, if only we are going swimming instead.

Kidding aside, the fear that these waters will rise again (it did last week except our street was not flooded, so yey!) is no joke. A few hours of heavy rains and the husband is telling me to get the children’s things ready so that they can be brought to their family home.

It is a tiring feeling, that feeling that if the rains are bad, we may not be “lucky” like the last time.

Jollibee Breakfast Joys

Hands down, our children love the cheeseburgers from another burger chain but for breakfast, nothing beats Jollibee Breakfast Joys.

So yesterday we had these when it is usually Saturday mornings for this kind of out of the house breakfast date.

I always order the Bangus meal because the other breakfast treats make my tummy feel uncomfortable because of the oil used.

Self-Taught Guitar Player

This is my daughter teaching herself how to play a song, using her guitar. One tab is opened for the chords of the song she is playing and the other tab is opened to an internet radio station where the song she is listening to through the headphones is playing.

I’m sure one day she will ask for bigger guitars to play with, like a squier 51 or the likes. For now, we just enjoy listening to what she can play with as she learns how to play by being self-taught.

Playing Dress Up

So, much to my chagrin, I watched these videos of young girls being made up, dressed up, made to wear fake teeth and fake hair.

Their parents really go all the way to make them look as a standout.

One thing that got my interest was the use of airbrush tanning systems to make them look, well… tanned. Not that I need to be tanned because I look that I am forever on a beach holiday with my skin color, lol.

Playing dress up has never been this competitive. I am just glad am not into this kind of thing with my daughters.
