I'm back again...

I did not mean to stop blogging for over a month. But, I've been a little busy. Now, I'm somewhat settled in to my old life in Houston.

We made some changes to our house and I'm very pleased. The tile in both bathrooms has been changed and I am beyond happy about that. The previous tile was so ugly. I hated it. We have hardwood floors in the living and dining room and new carpet in all the bedrooms. Feels like a new house except it isn't.

We purchased a chair in the Philippines that we both just loved. It just arrived last Friday and, um, it won't fit through the door. LOL!!! Dwayne and Donovan (neighbor) tried their hardest but it didn't fit. We didn't even think about the measurements. So, for now the chair is sitting in the garage collecting dust. How lovely!

Dwayne finally got the car he's been wanting for two years and I'm so happy for him. I could care less about cars in general so now he has the nicer car. That's cool since my car is the kid car. But, why did my little Danae tell me she doesn't like my car and only wants to ride in daddy's car. I told her that's fine but when I roll she'll just have to stay home. She changed her tune very quickly. But, she still reminded me that she likes daddy's car better. So do I!

Speaking of daddy, he's in Angola for the week. I hate it when he's not here. I can't sleep right so I get only about 5 or 6 hours each night. That is not a good look at all. I need him here with me to be comfortable. Danae has had a couple of breakdowns about her dad's absence so now we're doing a countdown...4 days until dad's back!

That's all I feel like writing about for now. I'll be back tomorrow.

Later!

I'm glad you are pleased with your house makeover. Danae will get over the newness and just be happy to ride.

Funny you shoud write about Dwayne being away and how you can't sleep. Wayne is in England for 2 weeks so I'm operating on about 4 hours of sleep a night. Glad you're home safely. I'm sure you had fun in the Philippines but there's no place like home.

I am glad you all are back safely and pleased with your improvements in the home. I am also glad that you are blogging again. My hubby is suppose to get a car this summer so I anticipate loving his more than mine some of the times.

Later,

Can't wait to see the new car. You know how I love cars!!! Maybe Danae is like her Auntie Ayana and loves new cars. Every year I have another one I wish I could drive. LOL

Can't wait to see the house too. We should plan an afternoon or something.

Motherhood

Yesterday, I had something to do so the kids went to their old sitter's house for a few hours. We got home later than intended so I knew I would be rushing to prepare dinner, get them bathed, and settled for the night. Here's what really happened. As soon as we entered the house, Brayden started running around saying "Mommy, I have to pee". So we rush into the bathroom and as soon as his pants are unbuttoned, he starts peeing on himself. I clean him up and decide they can play in the tub while I start preparing dinner. As soon as we get to the kitchen, Danica throws up all over me, herself, and the floor. So, I take her to our bathroom and bathe her. Before I can get her pj's buttoned up, Brayden starts screaming "I have to pee!" Because he just went all over the bathroom floor, I'm a little perplexed. I run to their bathroom anyway only to find out he didn't have to pee, he had to poop and had already dropped two bombs in the bathtub where his s

Baby Making (Or Not)

So, as I've said before, I'm getting my tubes tied this year. I have had so many people tell me they don't agree with this. I've been told that I should let God decide how many children we have or ask him to close my womb. I should wait and see if I want more children in the future. It's too permanent. What if something happens to my children and I decide I want more later. I honestly didn't expect to run in to so much opposition. First of all, it's my body and my decision. Secondly, I am absolutely sure that I don't want more children. And lastly, it really is my decision. The funny thing is that my friend who has 5 children has received a lot of criticism for the size of her family and was told repeatedly that she should've gotten her tubes tied. Now, there are other circumstances in that particular family that would warrant such remarks. But my point is that people are never satisfied. If we continued to have children, I'm sure someone would s

Christmas in September?

Apparently, living in Manila is going to provide plenty of material for me to write about. Here goes: We have been provided several books to help us adapt to life in the Philippines. Something we read was very beneficial for us yesterday. We went to SM which is a department store, furniture store, grocery store, and several restaurants all in one. Danae had to use the bathroom and guess what? There was no toilet tissue. No, they didn't run out. They don't put tissue in the bathrooms at all. No empty tissue holder or anything. Because I read about that, I had a little tissue stowed in my bag to use. In the grocery store, the most overwhelming shock was the stench. The entire back of the store is basically a butcher shop. Surprisingly, there were no flies or anything. But, the smell was gross. Danae held her nose while we looked around in there. I wasn't bold enough to purchase any meat yet. One day, maybe. Or, we'll just become vegetarians while we're here. In the cl
