YIKES!!!

A once addict blogger, went almost a year without updating her personal blog. Good one Babsy!

Lots of things happened that I wasn’t able to document. (sigh) It was one of the reason why I blog … to remember what have I done and to move forward learning from my day to day experience. When I read my posts years ago, I just couldn’t believe I could do some of the things I have done in the past … I guess, with a right mind-set, a person could change … to the extent that one could not recognize oneself from the past.

Let’s just leave it at that. I could not remember what happened to me days ago. So, I’ll start documenting again starting from what happened to me today (which inspired me to blog again).

I watched the movie 7lives and a scene from that movie caught my attention.

A widow asked a man to dig-up something from her backyard. When the man finally found a so-called treasure box, he thought it was filled with something of monetary value. However, when the widow opened the box, it was filled with pictures. Then the widow said, “Pictures … happy memories are the best treasure we could have.”

I don’t want to forget, though I often do. So, here’s for today:

Me and my kids are now living in an apartment. So the pic above shows tired me and on the background, my sleeping kids. Yeah, I am already tired from all the activities a single hands-on working Mom has to do and I still have to wash the dishes after this. AAARRGGHH!

Well, even though I am often tired with all the chores in here. I still do smile a lot. Like the usual scene after I cook something, I would serve the food and my kids would be the one deciding how to divide it. Example 6 eggs; 1 for Mommy (that’s me), 3 for Hannah and 2 for Hector. Of course, AN EGG will not be enough for the BIG ME, so when I attempt to get another egg, the two would be growling at me. If you are a Mom, I guess you could relate that however tired and hungry you are when you have a scene like this, you can’t do anything but smile
