It's almost Mother's Day!!!

In less than a week, it's gonna be a Sunday for Mums. Hmnn, but it doesn't really mean that I'm gonna get anywhere near lying-on-the-couch-munching-on-some-Becky's-crinkles-(that I got yesterday via courier sent by Mum)-while-watching-my-favorite-feel-good-movie.

There are loads of chores needed to be done plus my routine to cook as many dishes as I can for the week is back! Oh yes - I always prioritize preparing Luigi's meals (comprised of soup-based dishes) for the week now that he's back to a child care. I want him to gain back the pounds he lost when he got sick during our trip and on our first week in Sydney.

Forgot to mention that on the way back to Sydney, Luigi was nursing a very high fever. It was on-an-off while we were in Singapore. Finally when we reached Sydney, he tested positive for UTI. My poor baby - enduring the pain all throughout. He was even rushed to Baulkham Hills Private Hospital for some immediate IV drug. And I wasn't even around to cuddle him. I felt guilty but relieved because I know Louie's there to comfort him and also my brother.

Aha, forgot to mention that I've finally fulfilled my long-forgotten-promise to my young brother - a trip down under for his summer school break, that is! So now he looks after his nephew during Mondays and Fridays. A perfect setup to help Luigi gradually get at ease with the child care.

So you see, I've got 3 boys to look after. Indeed, I've got a busy household. Full-house!!! But it's all good. I haven't really spent so much time with my brother ever since I left Manila five years ago. At least he gets to spend more time with his fave BIL (Kuya Louie) and of course with Wiji.

It's Mother's Day and I can't ask for more... except for a few, like..

1. wish mum is here. (We celebrated Mum's day together last year)
2. wish we can go back to Palawan.
3. wish I have more money to buy that nice pink coat I saw the other week.
4. and maybe extra cash for some new pair of sneakers.
5. and a long weekend will do.

Hehehe! Don't get me wrong.. I'm totally contented whenever my son laughs at my silly acts.

I love being a MOM!

Luvsya,
