Grocery List

I must admit, I have it easy compared to the rest. Since I still live with my parents, my mom usually does the grocery shopping. She left Sunday for a Marian Tour to Europe so now we are left alone. Its either me, my sister or dad who does the grocery shopping!

Seriously, I cannot be bothered with grocery shopping because I hate it. The lines, the crowd…tsk tsk. I am so lazy sometimes. Anyway, I guess I have to pop by the mall this afternoon.

Dad did the groceries yesterday but missed a few items, like instant noodles, some fruits, tomato sauce, bathroom tissue and bathroom cleaner. Which reminds me I need disposable gloves because I plan to thoroughly clean our toilet seat & bowls! If I want to potty train Ozzy I must make sure those things are clean! Right?

I can’t quite believe it. I think I am going to be a single mom for a year.

If everything goes smoothly, he’ll leave 1st week of June! OMG. Can we do this? Actually, I can handle it, 1 year is not so bad. It’s the baby boy I’m worried about.

Also, hubby won’t be here for Ozzy’s 2nd birthday this July….

Will pray for this.

Ok.

I may be one in a few weeks IF he gets the job. It’s all talk right now. Nothing has been signed - yet. But they are saying they want him for the job asap!

In 3 weeks actually.

I used to encourage him to try applying but now that it seems so real, why do I feel the walls closing on me faster than I can handle?

What about our son? He’ll miss his daddy. I’ll miss his daddy.

My husband does not have a credit card. Can you believe that? He applied once but I think his application got lost because he never got a return call from the bank! He never applied again because he hated the hassle of submitting requirements and stuff.

I have two. One is a supplementary card and the other is my personal card. We have actually survived with using only my card for months. However, lately expenses have been increasing steadily ~ from Ozzy’s clothes, milk, vitamins to our groceries, insurance payment and car bills. Using credit cards prove to be very helpful in times when cash is hard to get by. Some credit cards even double as discount cards and others offer points for freebies like when we got our free Sony PSP.

Good thing that there are sites that offer information on credit cards wherein my husband can research online for the right card that will best fit his needs. He can also compare the various credit cards and once he has chosen the card best suited for him, he can easily apply online. That’s it, very hassle free.

He’s hoping that this time around he will get accepted and get his very first credit card.

…after watching the Brainy Baby Video on animals (over & over…& over again!) that…

  • Cows have 4 stomachs. Each one helps the cow digest its food
  • Another name for a Bison is a Buffalo.
  • A group of dolphins is called a Pod.
  • Pigs are intelligent.
  • Zebra’s stripe is different for each; a mommy zebra can tell which baby is hers by the baby’s stripes.
  • Giraffe’s eats around 70lbs of greens a day!

That’s how I am lately, I am super busy with Ozzy + work + being a wife + updating my blog. I’ve been nanny-less since Thursday. The nanny left after our Island Hopping thing. I didn’t ask her to stay until we’d find a replacement, wrong move on my part? Maybe. But I was thinking about it and I believe it’s best for her to be gone as soon as possible. I didn’t want her attitude around my son any longer.

That is why I haven’t bloghopped since last week! I was not able to properly update my blog. Tsk. Tsk. The good thing is I’ve spent a lot of quality time with my boy. We watched the brainy baby video on animals! He loves it so much.

Just so you get the idea on how I spent my day here it is.
