That’s how Sophia calls me now. Her yaya left yesterday and I’m solely taking care of her now. The replacement yaya (her previous yaya who recenlty just gave birth) is coming not until Saturday so it’s all me and the little girl until then. My pc time now is very short – two hours a day the most so pardon me for not getting back on your tags, comments and whatevers. Regular programming will probably resume Sunday, LOL! I’ll just try to sneak in a few posts here and there as I have 20 pending tasks!!! Ridiculous, isn’t it?  Super bad timing.

Anyway, have a nice day everyone

Spending every minute (literally!) with the little girl for the past three days is turning out to be a fun experience. Tiring, oh yes but extremely fun nonetheless. Being yayaless for a while makes me appreciate and respect stay-at-home-moms more who solely take care of their kid/s. I know a few who don’t have a yaya to depend on and I must say, I admire them, really. It’s no joke. I wonder how they manage to take care of their kids, blog, scrap, chat and blog some more all at the same time. I am just simply not one them. They are all supermoms in their own right. You know who you are, mommies Hats off to all of you. As I have always been reiterating, I’m no good at multi-tasking, period.

Right now, Jon’s here watching the little girl so I have a few minutes to stay in front of the computer. My day won’t seem to be complete without doing so. I need to check mails, assignments, and post an entry or two. Blogging has been a part of me already, seriously. For some reason, I need to check and post an update on my blog no matter how busy I am. I find that weird, don’t you?

Today was a good day. We heard mass and the little girl was just sitting in between Jon and I the whole time. No tantrum, no shouting, no anything. Just sitting when asked to, kneeling when its the time to and standing when we need to. Oh goody, is she really that “big” a girl already? I am just so happy and proud She even whispers when she talks to us while inside the church. Oh, one uber proud mommy here We ate at Gloria Maris after and went to Timezone in ATC to give the little girl her arcades fix. She was delighted of course.

Tomorrow, its going to be the end of the year. I can’t seem to believe that year 2007 is over but it is. I can’t be more than thankful to the BIG MAN up there who has been constantly so good to us this year and the years before. He has blessed us with so much that sometimes we wonder if we are even worthy of the blessings he has showered our way. I hope we are.

From our family to yours, Happy New Year! May we all have a bountiful 2008

Jon finds how I treat my mom really odd.

Why?

I talk to my mom like I talk to any of my friends. Yes, I don’t say “po” or “opo”. She’s like just one of my friends I make chika with. I don’t text back on time. Sometimes I text her back a day or two after she texts me or sometimes not at all I most of the time contradicts what she says or prefers. I tell her what to and what-not to wear and buy. I don’t hesitate to tell her if she has done something not nice. I criticize her, all the time We laugh at small thing together. I make her buy stuff for Sophia sometimes without hesitating or feeling shy. I can tell her straight if I’m too busy and lazy to meet her or even talk to her. There are times I answer back with my not so nice tone of voice when I’m not in a good mood. I could go on and on why Jon thinks I’m such one unique daughter to put it tamely as Jon addresses me one bad daughter. What he can’t understand is, indeed, my mom and I have a strange relationship that other’s won’t probably get but we are more than fine with how we treat each other. This has been how we’ve been to each other since we can both remember. Yes, I’m hard headed, she can’t make me do something I don’t like, she don’t dare tell me what to do as she knows I’m going to speak up my mind and she wouldn’t probably want to hear what I’m going to say when that happens. But in spite of all these, I’m telling you, we’re the closest a mother and daughter could ever get. We understand each other. We love each other, no question on that. We don’t get hurt with each other’s hideous remarks or whatever. We both laugh it off. What others may find rude (like my not texting back or answering her calls according to Jon) is definitely more than fine and is just normal with us. It’s so silly, Jon’s been making a big fuss out of it. LOL.

As I’m writing this though, I do realize more than the usual now that my mom and I do have one unconventional relationship, don’t we?
