Hubby and I

Even if we brought Wrozlie and Roan with us in TN over the weekend, Rodney and I had a blast at the party, since I didn’t have to watch over the kids. Wow! it’s so great to have time with my hubby and not chasing at kids on top of the stairs, or make sure that the kids are OK. I felt sad that we didn’t have AJ with us, but she’s going to miss Lola if we had her. And it’s quite nice to have some time with Rodney.

I had to tip toe and Rodney had to bend his knees so that his head would be included in the picture.

The birthday party we went to was also themed for Valentine’s Day, since Jen’s birthday is on the 14th.

My Ultimate Dream

Being a mom of a teen ager and 3 younger kids ages 7, 4 and 2, I just stay home to take care of my family. Prior to having kids, I used to work in retail industry, and it’s quite hard when it’s close to Christmas Holidays. When my youngest reaches her school age, I can go back to work, but I want to get a job where I don’t have to stay late working due to Holiday rush or work early  because of After- Christmas sale. And how will I do that? I thought of going back to school before my daughter starts school. I searched for an online university where I can attend college at the comfort of my home, luckily I found one that interests me the most. I am so glad that I can attend college while taking care of my family. Western Governors University is an accredited, affordable, accelerated online university and offers wide range of college degrees, so flexible that it can fit my lifestyle.

WGU’s online MBA is highly respected among employers  because the programs were developed with support and guidance from experts and business leaders serving on their Business Program Council and its accredited MBA programs are challenging and relevant to the demands of business leaders. Finally, I found something that I had been wanting to do, to go back to school and be somebody. I don’t need to seek for baby sitter for my kids. I can attend college in between their naps and snacks.

I hope everybody had a great weekend and let’s all start this week with smile on our faces.

Can You Hear Me Now?

This is very normal to hear when people are talking on their cell phones. There are places where there is bad or low signal, or it’s just plain dead. Worry no more my  friends, now they have this cell phone booster and  I assure you , your problem is solved.. Hubby has a nice phone, but from time to time, it can be annoying once it loses its signal while you’re talking to someone, especially if the call is very important. I will ask my husband to get one of those, that way, while I am on the phone, there would be no more  interruption, errr..so that when  he’s on the phone, he won’t get interrupted. I forgot, the phone is his,  not mine, Hehehe.

Weekend In Tennessee

image

Today is Friday and when Rodney gets home from work, we will head to TN for the weekend. Jen is having a party for her, for her daughter and for her friend Sherry, and we are invited, and I want to help her with the party. I know that she can handle it, but I am offering my support, and of course I want to be there too, to see our other friend Mariz, haven’t seen her since May. We’re only 2.5 hours apart, but it seems like it’s hard for us to see each other. Mariz is in the military, so it’s not easy for her to leave town without asking for a permission.

We will leave today, Friday, and be back Sunday afternoon, it’s just Rodney, Wrozlie, Roan and myself, my little car cannot accommodate all seven of us, so my mom, Dan and AJ will stay home. I won’t be able to do anything if I bring AJ. I am so glad that Rodney agreed to drive, I had been telling him about this party for a long time. Hubby knows what is very important to me and he knows I love Jen and I will help her the best I could.

So Folks, I guess, I will see next week, I don’t know if I would be able to blog while I am there. Have a great weekend, and Have fun!

A Day To Relax

As you all know, my hubby doesn’t go out on his days off or holidays, he just watches movies, basically he sits in front of the TV, that is if he doesn’t have major project to do around the house. During NCAA College football season, he would get his snacks in preparation to watching, and because he watches in our bedroom where he feels like he has home theater seating, he is so comfortable looking at our TV that is mounted against the wall. He bought this flat screen TV while I was in the Philippines, and I was surprise to see it when I got back. I guess, it’s a great idea that he got the one that you can mount against the wall, that way it’s safe when the kids are around playing.

My Workplace

image

This is a picture of my work desk, I have to have a workplace where I do my blogging, and writing checks, and do the bills. I bought this at Goodwill almost 2 years now. It still look alright, except when we moved here in AL, it got scratched so bad that now, it looks bad. It  is where I spend most of my day, keeping all my 5 blogs updated and I love it since it has a lot of compartment. But, now, I am looking for a replacement, and I am thinking of going to an office furniture store where I can buy one. Since it’s tax season, I know my husband will let me buy it..

Wish me luck, sometimes hubby can be thrifty and might tell me that he will build me one  out of the scraps of wood  that he has in the garage. Have a great day to all.

Loving someone doesn’t need a reason. If you can explain why you love someone, its not called "Love"…  its called "Like" According to one of the Love Phrases. but what the heck, I will list lots of reasons why I love my husband..

I love him because he’s ..snob…Yeah, meaning he won’t get seduced by other women, Hahahaha!

I love the way he handles all the children, no favoritism, although he seems to give in to Wrozlie most of the time..

I love it when he prepares meal for me and I get surprised coz it would be something that I liked and I can’t believe he remembers. That’s Love I tell yah..

I love it when he annoys me just cause he knows I get annoyed.

I love his being so thoughtful, he would give me medicine and water when I am sick, put Vicks on my chest when I get congested, put cough drops in my mouth when I’m  coughing..That’s definitely extra curricular activities.

I love the way he calls me Sweetheart, especially when he is wanting some loving, it sounds like he would give me everything that I want..

I love his being considerate, . he would download movies for me and transfer to a disc, for me to enjoy while doing nothing at the house.

I love the way he tells me when he is jealous, I wanted to choke him most of the time, but after I assured him that he is the only MAN in my life, that my heart  beats only for him (shucks, too corny, ain’t it??), he understands and accept how wrong he is to think otherwise..

I love his being RESPONSIBLE and great PROVIDER. He works so hard to give us everything that we need.  He thinks of his family first before anything else.

I love it when he helps me prepare when we hold a birthday party. He would clean  the house, put decorations,  put banners, ribbons and everything. He would do everything that requires height..

I love him BECAUSE…he is HE

There are a lot more, but these are just some basics..Everyday, I discover something about him that makes me love him even more..be it, he drools while sleeping, snores, talking oh his sleep, farts so loud and such..

Once you love someone, you will learn to love everything about him/her,  shortcomings and all, and when it happens then and only then you can say that ..You’re IN-LOVE…

I Locked Us Out…

Wahhhhhh! it’s been over a year now that I have my license, and for the first time, I was able to lock us out of the car, in the middle of the parking lot at Walmart, raining, and chilly…double wahhhhh!

Rodney, Wrozlie and I went to Walmart yesterday (Friday) to get some stuff, and when we came out, it’s cold, since it was raining and freezing, so he gave me the key so that I can take Wrozlie inside the car. I unlocked the passenger’s seat, opened the door, unlocked the back door, and decided to start the car so it’s warm. Car turned on, I came out, closed the door behind me, opened the backdoor and voila! it’s locked. I forgot, my car locks automatically as soon as it starts. So, here we were, car was on, windshield wiper wiping my windshield, then, I looked at Rodney and said, “ I locked us out Honey” he said, “You got the spare key, right?” I said, “ Well, even if I did, my purse was inside the car”. So, we’re doomed. Then Wrozlie was complaining that she was cold. Rodney was putting the groceries in the trunk, trying to unfold the backseat couple of times but didn’t succeed. I asked him “What are we going to do now?” he said, “Well, I guess, we have to call a locksmith to unlock the car and pay $100 for it”. I can sense the annoyance in his voice. But, I didn’t feel guilty, I didn’t realize it’s going to happen. I always start my car before using it, and it never happened that I locked myself out.

I took Wrozlie back to Walmart coz she was cold, and Rodney made a phone call, I didn’t know who he was calling. Then I realized that I have seen a key on top of Rodney’s printer in our bedroom. so, I went  out and told him if he can call his dad to stop by at the house to get the spare key (which I wasn’t even sure, if that’s the right one, but..nothing wrong with trying), So, luckily, he was talking to his dad and he told him. Rodney tried to call the house numerous times, but nobody was answering the phone. They don’t answer the phone when Rodney and I are gone, for some stupid reason. Even my 16 year old son doesn’t answer when the phone rings.

Rodney’s getting so annoyed. I remembered that his Blackberry phone has some kind of internet/web feature that he pays extra $40 a month. so, I told him to YM/Facebook/Myspace my son, he might be online on one of those net thingy. Wow! was I smart or what??? He was on YM, so my husband told him to answer the phone. I told him where the spare key was, glad he found it. So, my FIL stopped by  the house and got the key and headed to Walmart. I was praying so hard that please, let that key be the right key, otherwise, we didn’t have a choice but to pay $100 for a locksmith. We waited for at least half an hour, and my FIL came with the key, and fortunately, it was the right one. I guess, his new phone came in handy. Thanks Blackberry Phone..I owe you, and of course thanks to Dad Barnett, he drove in a bad weather to help us.

Saved by the bell! Whew, I was able to breathe..Well, the car was warm enough when we got inside. Hehehe! Rodney said that he would have to have his own set of key for my car, then he would give me a “Magnetic key holder”  on Valentine’s Day (can you imagine, the special Heart Day) that you can put your key and you can stick it somewhere under your car, so in case I lock myself out again. Grrrrr!!! I didn’t intentionally do it, accident happens. I am so glad that when it happened, we were together, otherwise, I didn’t know what I could have done, I won’t be able to call anybody, since my prepaid phone is always in my purse..

Have a great weekend to all! Just thought of sharing my Friday escapade… who can say that Friday can’t  be a very interesting day for me???

CC: Have I Told You Lately that , I LOVE YOU?

                                      These pictures were taken March 2008 

“I love you Honey, bye” or “Ok, love you, see you later”. These were few of the i love you’s that hubby and I usually exchange in our daily life. but, let me ask you this..When was the last time you really look into his eyes, and tell your husband “ Honey, Sweetheart, Mahal, Love, Dear or Babe.. I am so thankful that  you married me, my life won’t be the same without you. I love you from the very bottom of my heart, and I will love you always” Huwat??? ang corny! but, come to think of it, saying I love you is easy..but, when it would come from deep within your heart, with a little tears running down your cheeks, because you say it with feelings, that ain’t easy. Honestly speaking, I always tell my husband I love him, but it doesn’t happen very often that I look at him and tell him seriously that I am grateful for this wonderful life that he gives me, and that I love him till eternity. Is it hard? or we just feel that it’s so cheesy. Sometimes, although I don’t tell him about how I feel, I will hug him and kiss him so he can feel what I can’t say.

I believe that it’s very important for couples to tell their spouses what they feel. It’s not just during the wedding day that you say your vows, you can always tell your partners how happy and lucky you are to have found each other. Sometimes, I write to my husband, if I can’t tell him what I feel. In writing, I can be the corniest person and he does appreciate it. Or, maybe text  him and tell him you love him and want to spend the rest of your life with him, see what they think, they maybe whistling while working, or maybe get excited and can’t wait to come home and give you bunch of kisses. I text my hubby what I am going to do to him before bedtime, and oh boy! he gets excited, I can ask him anything I want.. Ahahahahaha! Massage before bedtime always works, hehehe!

What about you out there? Do you always tell your hubbies how much you love them? come join us here and let’s exchange love stories and learn from each other. You can always join our weekly Meme. Let’s all have fun!

How Can you Tell…

…  if your spouse is having an affair? Would he be cold, uninterested in you, always talking on the phone, text here text there, always shooing you away. Is he/she quiet at the house, always criticizing you for everything that you do? Does he come home late? with lots of excuses, does he spend a lot of time in the mirror looking at himself/herself, or does  he/ she seem to be of distant?

Hehehe…I am just being goofy and I can’t think of anything to write today. Actually, I was acting silly since yesterday, I think I am looking for a cuddle time with hubby. He’s been watching that stupid Battlestar Galactica TV series, and he’s not paying attention to me. Before, I was seeing him always holding his new Blackberry cellphone that even when he’s using the bathroom, he’s still playing with it. I guess, I am blogging to much that he turned his attention to watching and texting or playing cards using his CP. I don’t blame him, I have 4 blogs that I need to maintain, I have to do my EC dropping everyday to get more traffic. I need to do my blog hop and ahhhhh! it’s taking too much of my time. I have so many things that I need to do when it comes to  my blogging. Maybe he’s thinking the same thing, that I am neglecting him, but the truth is, I kind of into blogging these past few weeks. So, I guess, I would have to think of Time Management, otherwise I would end up  balancing whether blogging is more important than my family.

Well, we spent time together yesterday. We drove to Hunstville Walmart to get AJ’s NIDO, and stopped by at my in-laws house and stayed there for over 4 hours. Rodney was able to fix their internet and computer, ( I taught my MIL to play Farmville, hahaha!) and the kids had a chance to play with their grandpa. Today, from the time hubby woke up, up to this minute that I am writing this post, he’s been watching more episodes of that Battlestar Galactica. He had breakfast and lunch in bed. If I had to bring him dinner in bed, I will just smack him and tie him in bed and punish him to eternity. What d’ya all think huh?????

Have a great week ahead of you and I will see you all at CC on Wednesday!
