Back to School Issues

School started last June 13th for my 'unica hija', but I wasn't able to find the time to blog about it or so I believe so, hahaha!
OOTD from Monday to Thursday, I lost the Friday OOTD on my files

School started not only for my school girl but mine also. I had to adjust my wake up time to make sure she's not gonna be late for school which starts 7:30 in the morning. I have to wake up 5:30 every morning, prepare for breakfast and wakes up my little sleepy head around 6 so she could prep up for school, by 7:15 the most, she should be on her way to her school already to avoid being late. 

Every night before going to sleep, I had to make sure that all the things she needed for school the following day is all ready in her bag..snacks, assignments and other stuff. Speaking of assignment, every night is a challenge for us, especially for me to keep my cool. Being a grade-schooler now, she has to be in school whole day, that's why when night time comes, she's already tired and sleepy. There's no energy left for assignments and other things to do for school, not even for dinner. 

School for kids now are very different from my time. When I was in Grade 1, I remember nothing but playing. We were in school for the whole day also but we only had 4 subjects and Religion. Now, they have like 9 notebooks so meaning they have 9 separate subjects. Her bag is really heavy, I can't let her carry it because she's too thin and its so heavy for her. Poor little kids, right? Maybe the system changed a lot now for education, they are being thorough and really serious.

Anyway, school has just started..so far so good, only some minor issues regarding school stuff missing already. Not a new issue by the way, same old issue of missing things. I got really upset last night when I learned that aside from an eraser gone, her pencil and sharpener also gone. Unbelievable, right? I can't buy her over and over again, not with the present situation that I am in. I have to minimize our expenses because God knows when I will find another job. Anyway, that's up for another blog entry soon. I lost my cool last night, as in, I felt my blood ran to brain. I was so angry. I felt sorry though afterwards. I hope she got that I was really mad last night and hopefully no other things will be gone when she comes home later. 

We still have a long time to see if some things changes, but for now, this will be it. How about you mothers? Have you experienced something like that? Share!


Lots of Love,

Mamay

Day 1 of 365

On the first day of 2018, it was raining the whole day because of TD Agaton. Yes, Agaton started the new year. We all did not invite him but still, he came and even left some areas flooded. But, nonetheless, we had fun celebrating the first day of the new year 2018 and at the same time the birthday of our youngest bro, Emman. Although, most of the time we were sleeping or lying down, we enjoyed new year. The pics tell it all. Happy New Year! Mamay :-)

Day 2 of 365

Second day of 2018 was a working day for me. I had to endure holiday blues and get myself to the office and spent 8 hours in front of my computer looking at pictures from the previous holidays and did not even touched anything that has something to do with work. Hahaha. Lucky for me I don't have that much to do these days so I had the luxury of time to splurge on unnecessary things. By the way, I took my daughter with me to work since I really don't have anything to do at the office. We went to buy the toy that she wanted for the money that she earned (partly). It was expensive! I never would have splurged my money on that toy if it was my money, but it's partly hers, so let it be. She was happy though with that toy and that was enough for a mom like me. That was how my 2nd day of 2018 went. Mamay

Unplanned trips are the Best!

 Last July 1, since it was a holiday in Tagbilaran City in commemoration of its Charter Day, we have no work or shall I say I have no work- Papay decided to take the day off as well. Out of the blue, he jokingly said that we'll go to Strawberry farm in Mayana, Jagna and I took his words - so off we go! That trip was long-overdue anyway, we have been talking of going but it never pushed through. It is true that it's better not to plan things and just go with the flow, no disappointments.  It was a long drive, we had several stop overs because reality, our body can't keep up with our minds. My legs and back were aching but because I did not want to be called "KJ" as what they often call me.. so I braved all that. We stopped first in Lila for a photo op because Papay wanted to show to his friend whose from Lila but now in abroad, you know, to make him feel more home-sick. Haha! Our second stop-over was in Garcia Hernandez, this time it was a long stop. Papay ate his ...
