Scared and Lazy

I whined to my friend just now. I said I want to work again, but home-based. The thing is, I think I have become lazy and scared at the same time. I am lazy to look for work and I am scared to apply for work. I do not know what I can do anymore (aside from blogging and mothering). I do not know what is the latest in the field that I want to pursue. Yet I am so lazy to read and arm myself with knowledge. Yes, there is no one else to blame but me. I miss being techie and all. I miss discovering things.

Blogging will make me earn but out of the five domains that I have, only this site is always updated.

I am lazy and I think I should be spanked.

Stomach Flu Again

The little angel’s tummy acted up again. She would throw up and refuses to stay in one place while she does her thing. We ended up having vomit here and there in our living room. Then a few minutes after feeding, she would poop. The seedy and watery kind. So I thought she might be teething because she also had a low-grade fever this morning. But she started throwing up this early evening. And poop one after the other.

No food intake, no milk too, just water. But I was unable not to give her some prunes. So she had some prunes for dinner.

It was very hard putting her to sleep because she is used to being breastfed to sleep. She was crying and begging but I cannot give into. It was a heart-breaking scene.

And the other angel also wants her mommy make her milk and tap her to sleep. She doesn’t want anyone else. What is this mom to do? I did her request and let the little angel follow me while giving out little sobs. Thankfully she slept just after a few minutes of tapping.

Back to the little angel. It was hard not to give her milk but I have to resist. We played a little with my mobile phone where she was so fascinated with the lights. She giggled as if she is feeling 100% ok. Then she asked me to scratch her back and underarm. And then she is asleep.

Thank you, Lord, for hearing my prayer for patience and strength. Tomorrow is another day.

Review: Chicco Shampoo

It was very timely that I won a gift pack from Richwell Club that contains Chicco products during the PMC 2nd Grand Eye Ball last November. Maxyn has consumed her soap and shampoo and it was time for me to open new ones.

kid shampooI got two shampoos, a big bottle and a small one. Since November, Maxyn has been using the large bottle of Chicco shampoo everyday.

What I like most about this shampoo are the following:

  • It has a mild scent that lasts very long.

    Maxyn is one active baby girl. She loves the outdoors. As soon as she wakes up from her afternoon nap and is done with her snacks, she will give you her slippers, a signal that she is ready to go out. Despite spending hours outdoors, her head does not smell like sweat. The fragrance of the shampoo is still in her hair.

  • It is tear-free.

    Maxyn is in her exploratory stage. Since then, whenever she sees bubbles, she tries to catch them and put them in her face, close to her mouth, nose and eyes. Sometimes, she accidentally put some bubbles in her eyes but she never cried.

  • It has a clear color and thick consistency.

    The clear color of the shampoo kinds of give me the feeling that it has few chemicals as possible. As mom, don’t we all want our kids to be safe from harsh chemicals? As for the thick consistency, even if I only use a small amount, the lather is always enough for Maxyn’s hair, very economical to use.

I am not sure how much each bottle costs since I got ours for free. But if ever we ran out of it, I will sure buy this product again.
