My Family Is Growing

Last night, while were were eating on the dinning table, I realized that in no time at all, we will be needing a larger casual dining furniture. Right now we are using a 6 seater dinning set. Our usual set up is, I seat on the other end (I am the head of the family LOL), on my right side is Kayil, on my left is Mico. My older angel (helper) sits besides Kayil and hubby sits beside Mico. My younger angel sits on the other end. Time will come that Chico will be sitting with us and so is Sati, so we will be needing an 8 seater dinning table.

As early as now, I am already looking on the net for styles in dining furniture. Of course, we all want our dinning table to be elegant and yet sturdy. I also want a dinning table where I can be comfortable doing other stuffs. I sometimes do my job on our dinning table and not on my table. My table faces the wall, where as, dinning table is on the center of our “dinning area”. I can sit to the side where I can also watch TV. But if ever I would buy one, maybe I will keep our old table. It was one of the few things that we still use after the flood. I think it will always remind us about humanity, humility and how to care of the environment.

I Need More Bathrooms

My sister with her 3 year old (will turn 4 this January 20) son is still here. And I am throwing a small children’s party for him. Remember that my whole family spend the holidays here? I had so much fun then and it was one of the best holiday for me . If there is one thing that I wish I had then, it would be more bathrooms. Last December 27 was Sati’s christening and we all end up knocking on the bathroom door so the one using it would take a bathe faster. It was stressful that we all need to take a bath and there is only one bathroom for all of us.

Imagine, me, the hubby, my 4 siblings, two have their partners with them, my mom, two helper and 5 kids. All in all, we were 16! And yes my house were packed then. It was more stressful when one of the kid need to use the bathroom and somebody is using it. You know kids cannot control their bladders. It was funny to watch them dancing and knocking on the bathroom door but it is irritating for the on using the bathroom. Oh how I wish I can have a house with two to three bathrooms on it.

Ground Day

After the depression attack, comes the OCD attack. Oh please don’t come near me, I am impossible this past few days. And while we were busy taking everything out here in the house, I suddenly want to cook, and not just one, but two dishes. In the fridge, there’s ground pork and ground beef. I cooked it both! Yum! For the ground pork, I just saute it in tomato sauce and I add some carrots and potatoes in it. For the ground beef, I cooked chili con carne. It is not your typical chili con carne with black beans. It is a simple chili con carne, coked using Taco mixture, with some corn kernel and topped with cheese.

Ground Dishes Day

I think I would need cholesterol treatment, because I ate twice. I ate with my sister then I breastfeed Sati. After that I ate again, this time with my helper. But in a way, I really need that much energy because there a dozen boxes outside waiting to be sort out. This is what happens when my OCD attack, I tend to perform all the roles tha I can fit, mom, cook, home make, etc. You don’t have to tell me, I know I need to rest too.
