How many months has it been now, since the last post?? Too long... wayyyy too long.
The new year has come. Ten more days before my little tike turns one! Which means that it's been a year of me being a full-time housewife. I've been asked many times about what it's like to be a stay-at-home-mom. Honestly, for someone who's used to meeting people on a daily basis, it can get quite depressing sometimes just staying at home. The only other people that i see apart from my kids, husband and the maid are my mother, brother, sis-in-law, mil, fil, hubby's cousin who's doing renovation on our house, his wife and his workers.. oh.. and the paediatrician, once in a while. I don't see friends or colleagues or other people, i don't really talk about other things and don't gossip much (which is a good thing). It's not like hubby doesn't allow me to go out and see my friends, but I feel that it's gonna be such a hassle trying to do that and i feel that i can't leave the baby with anyone else (since he's fully breastfeeding and i don't pump - my bad!)
Well, the price i have to pay for being so "kedekut" to share my children with others. Well.. it's not that i'm being kedekut, but i tend to get jealous when my kids spend more time, thus get closer to others rather than me (or their daddy). Just the thought of it makes me sad. That's why, even with a domestic helper present at our home, she doesn't really care for the kids, except for the instances that i need her to watch over my kids eg. when i cook or pray or need to use the WC. She helps out in the area i needed help the most - cleaning the house! :D For most of my friends who knows me, I really suck at cleaning up. Huh.
As mentioned earlier, Seth's gonna be 1 in 10 days! He's starting to take a few steps, but he does it infrequently. He much prefers crawling or being ferried by mommy. He's so adorable and much more manja than his sister. His sister is manja, but more manja with Daddy, and this boy is more manja with me. That's how it usually works, right? At eleven months, he's also starting to imitate what others do. He tried to put on a pair of socks, he tried to brush kakak's hair, tried to put on a hat on his kakak... He's lucky to have a sister ho loves him and adores him to bits. She'd just let him do whatever to her. It's amusing and amazing to see them play together (not to mention nerve-wrecking too, sometimes).
Sarah's growing too. She's gonna be six next month. Wow.. hard to believe that i gave birth to her almost 6 years ago. She's such a chatterbox!! Hubby and I think that not being able to speak would be a punishment for her. She talks, and talks, and talks endlessly. I really wonder where she got that trait from (hubby!).
I was looking forward for a trip planned this May. A trip to a place i've always wanted to go, and always wanted to return to with la familia. But, given the condition of the company that hubby's working with right now, i'm not sure if it will happen. Sigh! Hoping for the best.
Hokaayy... my sleepy eyes begets me. Routine's waiting for me tomorrow.
Cheers.
