Mad About Elastic Ponies

Yesterday, Ayex and I went to Quiapo with my mom. First we heard the mass. We were lucky to have a seat because of the semenarians of Boronggan, who my mom knows. After the mass, our quest for Ayex’s United Nations costume began. In between store hopping, I bought this set of ponies. Cheap Elastic Ponies Why too many, you ask. For some reasons, all of the ponies I bought Yex before are gone now. She has medium-lenght hair and I do not want it scattered, specially on her face. Also, there are times when I play with her hair and make different styles. And since these things are cheaper in this area, I bought a few to keep. I bought these for just P30. If I go to the mall, the price could go as high as P30 per five pairs.

And yes, we were able to get Ayex her African (Comorian) costume.

Helper Hunting Again

Yes, we are looking for a helper again. If you know someone who is interested, please let me know ASAP. Thank you!

Unfortunately, Ate Meriam will not be able to come back on September 10. She is really looking forward to it as well as Ayex. It is hard to pacify Ayex when she starts with her drama and keeps on saying Mommy alam mo miss ko na si Lola Meriam. or Mommy alam mo nalulungkot ako kasi gusto ko na nga umuwi si Lola Meriam. I swear, I hate it when she starts with that in the evening before bedtime.

Ate Meriam had an almost serious health issue and needs to rest for now. As much as I want her back, I do not want to compromise her and our kids’ safety. Ayex still keeps on asking if it is already September 10 the following day so I tried explaining to her already that Lola Meriam will not come back on time. She hardly listened to me so I am waiting for her to ask again. It will be a feat I am sure but we do not have so much of a choice.

My prayers for now are: may Lola Meriam fully recover so she can come back in time for the next baby (maybe early 2013), may Ayex understand this, may we find a new helper soon and finally, may I have more powers to take care of the kids. Help me pray too, will you?

Super Mom

Maxyn woke up a lot earlier than usual from her afternoon nap today. When Tatay came in to prepare himself to pick up Ayex from school, I volunteered to do it. I said I will just bring Maxyn along. So I changed Maxyn’s clothes, prepared myself and took the big stroller. As I was pushing Maxyn, I realized I made a wrong move. Ayex brought her stroller bag to school today, not the Hello Kitty backpack. How will I be able to push the stroller and pull Ayex’s bag at the same time?!

When we got to their school, the class has not yet ended. I saw Almersha’s mom by the swing and chatted with her. We talked about the exams, our kids and their classmates, and even the things we do to keep us sane. Then out of no where, I told her about my dilemma. She told me to put the bag on the canopy of the stroller. What a brilliant idea, eh.

When Ayex came out, she asked for some time to play in the play area with her classmates. When it was time for us to go, I still tried pushing the stroller and pulling Ayex’s bag. It was impossible! So I did what Almersha’s mom suggested and we got home in no time.

Child Stroller

I should have used Super Stroller as the title of this post. Hahaha!
