How Do I Love My Hubby?

I was tagged by Maria last week or last last week.. my apologies my dear friend, I was a bit busy last week that I set aside posting this..

Well, for a starter, my hubby and I met met late 1999. we became an item on August 19, 2008. I can’t elaborate our love story because it was really complicated, but one thing is for sure, I was the one who pursue him.. LOL.. not because he was shy, but because I was just so into him.. our friends knew how crazy and obsessed I was with him.LOL

Nine years after, let me think if I still have the same emotion as I had towards him.

The reasons why I love him is simple, he keeps on challenging me and he can bring out emotions in me. He can make me cry, angry, sad, happy. He can make me feel sexy, he can make me feel ugly.. he can stir every emotions in me, what more can I ask for? With him, I know I would not die of boredom, I know I will grow old feeling the same towards him…He is the ONLY person who can put up with me.I don’t believe much in luck, so maybe somewhere in my youth or childhood, I must have done something good to deserve him

Before Maria tagged me, I was just thinking of things you can do to your husband (this is while I am massaging his back). Things that are gross to some couples but to you both it is perfectly normal.. so now, in line with the reasons why I love my hubby, here are some WEIRD reasons why I love him:

He let me clean his ears.
He let me pr!ck his white heads and pimples. (and black heads too)
He let me cut his nails.
He let me scratch his head and look for flakes.
He let me massage his feet.
He let me through his personal stuffs (phones, emails, wallets etc.)

Now here are some reasons why I love him MORE:

When I say I want cake, he bought me more than a box.
When I throw up in his car, he pretend he does not mind 🙂
When I say I want a digital SLR, he wrapped it up in a newspaper and gave it on my birthday.
When I needed a dress (or shoes), he let me buy four.
When I am not in the mood.. oh.. he can always make me on the mood.
And when I say I want babies, he gave me THREE!

Now I want to hear my friends share with us the reasons why they love their hubby..
Sara, who celebrated their (second marriage) anniversary last February 11
Kaye, who has been missing for sometime now.. I hope everything is fine now.
Jona, who just posted my weird tag award.. sorry Jona.. but I just know you will love this one too hehe
Beth, who also celebrated their wedding anniversary.. I hope after your sweet entry for your hubby you would still play along with this tag 🙂
Melissa, who never fails to amaze me with her kingdom.

And if you love and hate your hubby at the same time, this is for you too! grab it while it’s HOT

Mommy Moments- Love Letters

This week’s theme for Mommy Moments is Love letters to your kids. If you want to share your heart warming message to your babies, come join in M ommy Moments.

Last week when I saw that this week’s theme is love letters, I thought it was love letters for mommy from the hubby. That would be really hard for me because hubby is not the romantic type (never once that he gave a flower or even a petal) and the only letter that he gave is an e card from bluemountain (still remember that) and I am still looking for that particular poem attached in the card. My mail then has been inactive for some time that some of my mails were erased.. then there’s a hate letter that he sent me. Oh no not hate for me, more of love letter to me but it is for someone else who is trying to break our relationship..oh well..

As for love letters.. this is the closest I have, this is a drawing of Kayil, he did this after Chico was born, see that baby on Mommy?

My Love Letters to them:

Kayil, you are such a blessing to Mommy, you came at the right time to Mommy’s life. You give me strength, you give me love, you made me feel human. When I am feeling lonely, a look into your eyes wipes it all. Mommy maybe not be around at times, but Mommy is always thinking of you. Mommy maybe harsh sometimes but I just want you to grow up strong, remember you will be the one to protect your baby brothers. I love you so much my baby. Forever you will be my inspiration, my light at the end of the tunnel.

Mico, I knew how hard it is when things get frustrating, Mommy understands your temper and your feelings. I love it baby when you say to Mommy how you love me so much and that you will always love me. I love it when you question my love for you. Remember Mico that I love still and so much even if Mommy seems not to prepare your milk at your request. I never imagine that I could pour out emotion such as that. When you were born I was afraid that Mommy cannot love you as with Kuya. The first time Is aw you, I am really amazed how strong I feel for you. I love you baby, I love you so much. Mommy will understand you and will try to fix everything for you.

Chico, my baby bunso, your our angel and delight. You know kuya and Dico and Daddy and Mommy is always excited for you. When we wake up the first we want to see is your mischievous smile. You light up our day and we just can’t get enough of you. We love you dear and I know you already knew that by now (you love hearing Mommy say it). I hope you will grow as loving and playful as your older brothers.

love and lots of love,
Mommy
muah!

How To Handle Sibling Rivalry

Sibling rivalry is very normal. My kids fight more than ten times a day. And yet they also cuddle more than ten times a day. One minute, they are best of friends, the other minute they are enemies. Sometimes a simple play pretend will turn our house into a World War zone. The reasons why they fight are very simple. They fight because of toys, on who is to become who. They fight because someone teases the other. They fight on to who is gonna use the computer first. I am beginning to think that even fight on who can annoy me first. That is really annoying and frustrating to watch. My head seems to blow when I hear them fight or argue over simple things.

It is hard to avoid this situation. Kids are kids, and they can always find a reason to fight. Now, what I do when their fighting escalates? At first, I ignore them, but when it seems that the other one is already harming the other, I step in. I talk to them (OK sometimes scream) to let go of each other and separate. When they see me like I am as raging as a bull, they stopped and started saying sorry to each other. When every body’s calm, we make up to it by thinking of a compromise that will work for both of them.

Yes you can never avoid siblings fighting over little things, but you can minimize the fight. My kids fight but I believe that it was just petty fights. They get along really well amidst all that. When they are both not in fighting mood, it so nice to hear them converse and watch them play. They never get jealous with each other. They never get jealous with their youngest baby too, even though Mommy is giving Chico more attention. They seem to understand that they are individual with each special needs.

How do we do it?

Oh well, we employ FAVORITISM.

Yes we have a favorite. Silly? Oh no not. I tell you this is very effective way to ensure the kids that they are being loved equally.. HOW? well we have our favorite first born (or kuya on our language) and we have our favorite second baby (Dico in the Philippines) and we have our favorite youngest baby (or bunso on our language). You try it and tell me how it will affect the kids.

Or you have some advise regarding siblings rivalry? Share it with me 🙂
