a mom's prerogative

Maybe the current state of our society made me think and ask silently in prayer for another son while I was infanticipating. May the Lord forgive me for entertaining such thoughts before. I so love my daughter. We all love her.

It’s just that cruelty and mindlessness are almost everywhere and I only feel really secure when me and my husband are looking after our kids.

I can’t explain it, but my husband and of course mothers can relate when I say I love my daughter so much, that I can say she’s my fear factor. I love my son the same as my daughter. But I believe that my daughter needs my attention more. Are you one with me on that?

again, at the mall

I always tell our kasama sa bahay to always keep her eye on my daughter. Not to let her get out alone. I don’t mind if the place is dusty and she can’t finish her chores as long as she takes good care of my kids especially my daughter. Yeah, I don’t feel that she is safe whenever we are not around. Call me crazy, but I am her mother…

Overprotective? I don’t think so, the daily newspapers can tell you that.

Last Mother’s Day, my husband made me feel special but I appreciated his being a good father and protector of our kids more than his very nice treatment of me on that day. Our kids look up to him, they always tag along with him whenever possible. He may be strict sometimes but he can’t be more strict to our daughter, he is a jell-o when it comes to our daughter. (And now that I remember, maybe the kids and I will think of something for him on Father’s Day. :-) hmmm...)

kiddie weekend

On weekends it is our practice to at least visit the church, hear a bit of the mass, and mumble some prayer. Even before we can enter the church they start asking and being soo kulit as to where we will go next after mass! Hay naku!

The kids never fail to ask for some kiddie entertainment and some kiddie meal (fastfood!). Jollibee tops the list. I don’t know why but they always ask for Jollibee. And it seems that Filipino kids have the same thing in mind when it comes to eating out –– Jollibee! No need to say that there’s no empty table nor chair in any Jollibee outlet during weekends. It’s good my eldest loves Greenwich’ pizzas, so we ate at Greenwich.

It seems that Greenwich has stopped serving solo pizzas. I would have ordered 2 different solo pizzas for the kids but I was told that they don’t have solos anymore. I had to order 2 pizza bars, the kids can't consume much when there's chicken on the table. Don't know why but they LIKE chicken so much, I sometimes say they might grow feathers someday (hope not! que horror!).

bunso and Papa

And as usual bunso asked for "jump jump" (her term for the inflated rubber playplace inside the biggest mall in Dasmariñas, Cavite. They stayed there for an hour, jumping, and horsying around the place until their throats got parched. They got so thirsty they were able to finish more than 3 large cups of juice!
