A good friend gave birth the other week. She has been long waiting for this baby and we were very happy for her. Come June, we’ll attend her son’s Christening. Another get together with friends – time to catch up and relax a little. Hubby and I were already thinking what to give them but I got tired of looking for unique gifts for her son so I decided I’d create a photo birth announcement using my digital stash. I think I’ll be unique.

I can’t clearly recall when I made a photo birth announcement but I do remember that I made an invitation for my niece, Bethany last month. It was a simple invite to preserve the innocence of the baby in the photo. I’ll try to make use of some of my newer kits this time – focusing on light colors to match the baby’s fresh photos. I’ll have it posted here soon as soon as it is finished.

Another baby to welcome – a baby who will bring happiness to the family and will bring joy in every household. Am I missing having a baby? Ack – definitely not yet! The kids are still young and I still need to catch my breath in taking care of them so I can’t afford to wish for a baby LOL!

I was up early this morning to check my mail and continuing my quest on looking for the best acne home remedy when Scieszka woke up too and sat beside me. I noticed she is hot and wanted to cling on me so I gave in. She has fever and colds.

The girls would normally have fever during the rainy season and not on a summer so I was kind of asking what happened when we are at the office. I would always do that – but I would constantly get the same answer from those taking care of them while we’re out, NONE.  It hasn’t changed.

The husband is already raising his concerns, mostly about how the kids are being taken cared of, being fed, being spoiled, everything. And I can’t blame him. We are still struggling whether I should stay at home and personally take care of the kids but the fact that I have a better career than husband is getting in the way. And we can’t do it the other way around – I can’t just simply ask him to resign instead and take care of the girls. I still believe that mothers are the best caregivers for their children. Oh – this discussion is surfacing again and soon we will need to make a big decision. I just do hope next time – that decision will be a good one.

Really tough being a working mom, huh!

I am not complaining. I wanted to make it clear before I got into some misinterpretations. Life is really tough and this is the one thing that all of us could possibly agree. Rich or poor, there is always something  that will eventually stress us out. As for me, I can’t clearly identify.

I have always felt that I am very very tired. Not fed up, just plain tired. I am a person who don’t get to sleep so easily and whenever I close my eyes and fell asleep, it will always be like I am half-awake. Not a good sleep really and I think that’s what I need the most. I have always been against taking vitamins plainly because I just don’t like it but now, I think I need to have some vitamin supplement to keep me going. Besides, I am no longer young. I won’t be like I used to be anymore. I like to sleep more and rest more to gain energy for the next day because work and family will be waiting for me.

Life isn’t easy after all and each of us must do our responsibilities to survive and live the life we wanted to have.
