Man, this Q is hard Yen! Uhmmm none of the above?! ahahaha

Join the fun HERE.

Being a mom is not almost always fun. I have mentioned in my blogs numerous times reasons why I love being a mom; but honestly to be blunt about it there are some things I really dislike (hate is such a strong word) about it.

I don’t like…..

1. ……….the fact that I don’t get to sleep for 8 hours straight.
2. ……….feeling guilty every time I am away. ME-time sometimes isn’t fun when you’re mind is not there.
3. ……….having to clean poop.
4. ……….how Ozzy decides to poop seconds after I changed him into a clean nappy.
5. ……….HAVING stretch marks. Goodbye stretch-mark free tummy…for this reason alone; I ask God why MEN are not the once experiencing child birth?! teehee
6. ……….that whenever we are in a restaurant I cannot eat properly. (I almost always never bring yaya around; I want to be hands on as much as possible)
7. ……….being bitten & sometimes hit. (uh-huh he hits now..tsktsk, kainis!)
8. ……….when people assume I know everything just because I am a mom; I am human I make mistakes too. Spare me the, “Dapat alam mo na yon” speech. I am a first-timer, give me a break.
9. ……….scolding my 2 year old boy every time he picks up something on the floor & puts it in his mouth.
10. ……….Or scolding in general. Or loosing my patience. Or having to glare at the boy for being noisy in church. Or when he bites his nails. It’s not that I ‘hate‘ it but I just don’t enjoy being a disciplinarian. I want to be the spoiler. But I know that would not be a good thing in the long run.

Now you may think I am bad or what it doesn’t matter; this post doesn’t mean I love my son less or I am a terrible mother (although at times I feel I am inadequate), I am merely pointing out things that make parenting hard. It’s a tough job but someone has to do it right?

I have a friend who keeps asking me why I am still ‘not very fat’ even after giving birth. She, on the other hand gained so much weight after her breakup with her boyfriend. I really don’t know what to tell her except that it’s not easy being a working mom. It’s pretty tiring, draining, you lose sleep especially if your child is sick. Plus, being skinny is not always a good thing when you are covered in stretch marks.

I wanted to tell her why don’t you have a baby & breastfeed him day & night and sleep 3 hours per night? Maybe you’ll lose the weight? But of course I did not say that, instead I said, why don’t you give Phentermine without prescription a try?

In case you didn’t know it’s a diet pill ranked 35 out the 200 diet pills reviewed.

Many things happened for me last week. Weekdays was pretty ‘work-filled’ so I had a whole weekend planned on ME time. If you haven’t visited my blog last week here’s a quick summary of the highlights.

1. We received our mid-year BONUS.
2. I had my hair colored.
3. I had my nails done (super overdue..! I pity the girl who did my nails)
4. Ozzy had an accident. (he’s fine now)
5. Ozzy says the darn-est things. Daddy loves who?!
6. Watched the much anticipated movie, Sex & the City with my equally gorgeous & fab friends.

The movie was fabulous of course but it made me realize the importance of friendship and having really ‘good’ friends. You know the kind of friend who knows your flaws but loves you anyway? Those kind of treasures are hard to find in life & one is lucky to even have 3 good friends in her lifetime. I am lucky. I have friends like that.

Some may have moved to a different city, met new friends, took up different hobbies, had found love; some lost *it*, but one thing remains obvious to me (and I’m sure they feel the same way) our bond is still as strong as ever. We may not see each other everyday, or talk every time but that doesn’t mean we have drifted part, right Lao? Love. Love.

*******************

I am obsessed with coloring my hair. Teehee.

Can you blame a girl for wanting some make-over? No you can’t. Girls are girls, we need our little “lift-your-spirits” moments.

How’d you like it?

I love it. Next time, will go for highlights! This will do for now.

Thoughts??

I am supper happy today. I spent the entire morning in the salon. ME time. A working mom like me rarely gets me time these days.

I had my hair colored, I had my nails done and I was able to do window shopping. My hair looks okay, I wanted highlights and lowlights but I had no time and no more money so I just had a lighter base color put in. I’ll take pictures IF I’ll have a good hair day tomorrow.

So enough about hair, I am seriously getting worried about my weight. Specifically in my tummy area, no matter how I “kind of” exercise and eat a little less it still bulges. Ugly, I know. I barely fit into my size 26 jeans earlier! I am considering taking weight loss pills, I mean it can’t hurt to try right?

Joy Ball & Renz tagged me to share 10 things/facts/habits about myself.

I have actually done this type of tag many times. There’s 8 Facts About Me, 6 Quirky things About Me, 8 Random things about me and lastly more 6 Quirky facts about me .

So all in all that’s 28 little facts about me, myself and moi. Narcissistic much? Not quite. I will accept the challenge and now I will write down 10 Facts About Me Right Now.(as in right this very moment, to give the meme a bit of a slant)

Date Written: May 29, 2008 | Thursday | 8:46 AM |

1. I am currently blogging and checking for possible ‘tasks’ instead of uhmmm working.
2. I was late for work ~ yet again.
3. I am wearing blue jeans, pink shoes and white shirt with a red cherry embellishment.
4. I have no make-up on and my hair is a mess. (but that’s OK because I am at home besides I was late as it is, no time for makeup and hair hehe)
5. I am dizzy. Been dizzy for the past few days.
6. No I am not pregnant.
7. I think its because of my impacted wisdom tooth. Gotta have ‘em pulled but each tooth costs Php5T!!!
8. I badly need a manicure, pedicure and foot scrub.
9. The little boy bumped his head on the floor earlier while his yaya was watching him. I feel like it was my fault that he got hurt. Even if its not, many times I feel it’s mine because I am the mom I should know better. Don’t you feel that way too?
10. Lastly, I was moved to tears 5 minutes ago with what hubby sent me regarding the China Earthquake where acts of love & kindness helped many to survive the tragedy. There are silent heroes everywhere and they should be honored and remembered. Read more… »
