AS I have blogged earlier I do complain of constant back pain and fatigue. Well, as a working mom of three school-aged daughters, help is indeed needed. Although the little girls of mine help me with simple chores and domestic assignments, I think I need the intervention of technology here to relieve me of the burden of house chores. But I do need to save up for the finances so that I can buy the tools needed in the house. Therefore, I can save time and effort and rest some more.
Vacuum cleaners will truly help me, I know. I browsed the on-line sites for these technologies and I found state-of-the-art, truly amazing vacuum cleaners. I am amazed by this technology. More than the beauty and functionality, accessories are available with 5 years guarantee. Isn’t that worth my money? I have to be practical nowadays. It is a choice between my health and my money...Right?
I should get one. Or i will gor bonkers doing it all by myself!
Do you know that spatial intelligence (according to Howard Gardner) is the least of the intelligences I have? I do not see design or project lay-out in empty spaces. Neither do I retain or remember directions of places which I visit.
Even in our house, I seldom rearrange our furniture or appliances. If not for my husband who likes to arrange our beds and sofa, there will be no changes in our indoor furniture arrangements.
But last week, out of need I thought of buying new drawers for my girls’ bedroom. Each of them needs a space of her own for her personal things. I checked nice sites for furniture and this one comes as the best. Also, if you are in the look out for beds then their california King bed is a must see.
Tired.
That's how i feel right now. I feel physically and emotionally drained. Sucked up. But if you were in my shoes, i bet you would feel the same.
Let me reiterate to you again why...
I am a wife to my husband for almost eleven years now.I play the role mother to three school-aged daughters. I work full time to earn a living. I have no house helper for almost two years now. I market and cook our food, prepare meals and occasionally wash our clothes. I tutor a child twice a week and blog to release my stress (and earn on the sides). If my wits cannot hold it up anymore i call the laundry woman for a weekly laundry.Sometimes, it's just too much for me.
DO i have the right to be tired? Do i have the right to be exhausted? Sapped?
Lately, my hair is starting to fall off, there is constant backpain and restlessness in my sleep.
I have brought these up to my husband but the situation remains the same.
I believe a break is due me, right?
It is tiring to be upright and to nurture a family given my situation. Sometimes, i think of just freezing up and just be passive to all the goings-on in my life...I just get too tired already...
IF you were in my shoes, what would you do?
| You Are a Pear |
 You are independent, intelligent, and a free thinker. You can accomplish great things, especially when you do them on your own. You are direct, honest, and sometimes even a bit brutal. There's not much that gets in the way of you and your ambition. While you are hard nosed, you do have a much sweeter side to you. It takes times for you to soften toward someone, but once you do, you'll be their friend for life. |
On our way home from the supermarket, we picked up a few grocery items from my mother’s convenience store. Yes, my mother owns a small convenience store with a few items of fresh meat and vegetables. It is strategically located in a corner of our small town. Most working people, who are in a hurry to go home after 5 pm, grab or buy items from my mother’s store. After retirement, that store becomes the focus of her attention. It is a good form of therapy for her.
Anyway, my cousin spilled to me the good news; it is not something like winning the online blackjack or something: my mom won the local lottery! I was about to faint. I was picturing millions or dollar signs…
Then my cousin continued: twenty thousand pesos only! Wow…That’s about $500. Not bad, right? But had it been like bigger forms of winning such as online blackjack win; wow! That will be the day…
I’ve been feeling tired lately. Blame it on the weather. As I blogged about it earlier rain has not stopped for three days already. My laundry has not dried. My shoes are wet and slimy. My kids are starting to cough now. Hubby has been coughing for two days already.
This is weird. At this time of the year, summer season should have started already. March is supposed to be the hottest month here in our place, but March is almost here and yet, we have not seen the sun for three days.
Is climate change be the really affecting us right now? It is very chilly here. It is even chillier than last December or January. And January is supposedly the coldest month of the year locally. Whew! Al Gore could be right.
What happens when six different nations meet in an event? What happens when people of different cultures happen to be together to have fun and enjoyment? I can not think of the right words right now but what comes to my mind is: FUN. Another word that I can think of is: ACTION, to the highest level!

I have vivid memories of my childhood when we really were in numerous financial difficulties. Those times were often than times of abundance. Really.
Being a big family (we are eight children), our basic needs were barely met by the salary my father received as a government employee. We practically lived from one pay check to the next. Sometimes, if not oftentimes, my parents would really resort to borrowing money from other people or relatives. Those were the days when cash advance or lending institutions were not yet as hyped as they are these days. But we were able to make it through: with or without cash advance.
Up to these days I am still amazed how my parents were able to send ALL of us, eight children, to school. No one stopped schooling until we were ALL finished with our degrees in the University.
I still wonder how my parents made us all University degree holders by just relying on my father’s hard-earned salary; and of course constant salary loans…
