love and family life

My cousin from Denmark just informed me that him and his wife are going on a month long vacation to the Philippines in June. That is after their trip in Paris and Rome. They sure are lucky to have a rich and generous employer who is going to fund their trip yet again. He asked if I can get away too so we can have our vacation together but I told him no. Not yet anyway. We still have things we need to settle here and a house to finish. Then decisions to make for the little man starting school. We will be pretty busy but the husband does assure me we will visit PI soon. How soon? No one knows. I hope it will happen this year though. I so need a real vacation where somebody else takes care of my kids while I pig out on food and laze around with the husband. I know my parents cannot wait to take care of their grandkids if only for a few weeks. Everybody should be happy with that arrangement.

I have a friend who has an online business. She sells trendy clothes, shoes, assorted blings, handbags, and a lot more. Her business seems to be doing really good too, with lots of orders from friends here and abroad. She told me that she buys what she sells in bulk so she will pay less thereby being able to profit from it. She has stores where she buys wholesale shoes, handbags, and clothes. I bought handbags from her which I sent to my mom and SIL and both said they adore their handbags. I did not buy shoes from her yet but she did send me a pair of flats, free of charge, that I like. She knows I love shoes and nothing beats free stuff. I have thought about starting a business like that but it never materialized. Life got in the way and responsibilities as well. Besides, my PR is non-existing which lead me to believe that that kind of business is not for me. I think I will just forever be a customer.

After that awful day where I was so down and miserable, I have recovered. I have not posted much online but I have been busy in real life. There are things that needs to be done, kids to take care of, and life to deal with. I know that it was not the first time it happened and it will happen again. I just hope that it will not be as bad and that I will recover pretty quick. Life sometimes get overwhelming, the best thing to do is deal with it, hope for the best and have faith. I am lucky to have kids to make me happy and proud and a supportive husband whom I love so much. I have so much to be grateful for.

For the little man’s room, I wanted to put in wood switch covers so it will look artsy and cool which I think is what a kid’s room should be like. The husband has different ideas. He said we need to be practical so we will reuse what was already in the house after I washed them. Besides, he said he wanted everything to be uniform all throughout the house. I am thankful that the little man did not insist because I have already told him about the plan. I would have been in trouble if he tried to defied the daddy’s decision. Thank goodness for small mercies, lol.
