homebound wednesdays

The past two weeks, I have been experiencing migraine attacks. I don't know what causes it -- me eating too much chocolates, or the usual lighting factor, or probably me thinking too much! I guess it's the last one. Don't laugh now, but I am dead serious!

I find myself doing sooooo many mental notes that I feel my head is going to already explode of all the things I have to remember (and do, for that matter -- schoolwork, Manila holidays, etc). I feel like my brain will reach its saturation point any day now hehehe.

I can't have migraine attacks everyday. I can't afford to get sick, so what is the solution to my problem? I promised myself that starting today, I will spend all my Wednesdays AT HOME. Yep, no going out, no going to the shops. (Hey, I can also save on money when I stay away from the shops!) Just at home to do all my backlogs -- the filing, the cleaning, the washing, the folding, the extras that I want to do. I guess in a way, it worked because by lunch time I was already able to do 2/3 of what I am supposed to do, removing a lot of mental notes in my head. Of course, I also had to stop myself from using the computer this morning and again later in the afternoon ;)

But if my migraine attacks perists, then it could be my becoming a chocoholic already, and that is another story ;)

My Chocoholic Boy

Liam, like his Papa is turning out to be one chocoholic person. One time, we were watching TV and when a chocolate commercial suddenly was shown on the TV, we saw him at awe and later on saying: Chocolate!, dreamily! We laughed our hearts out!

The other day, his Papa went home with a box of Ferrero Chocolates! Yummy! When he saw it, he of course wanted to open it and eat it already! But since we are regulating his sugar intake (and he had enough for the day after all the juice and choco milk that he drank) we told him he can't have anymore chocolates. I held the chocolate box and told him it was mine! Santa gave it to me!

Liam: Mama, you have to share!
Mama: Okay, but I will not open it okay?
Liam: Mama, you will open it on Christmas Day (after hearing that Santa was the one who gave it to me)
Mama: Okay. (Kainis! gusto ko pa naman kumain na rin!)

Day one turned out ok.

Day 2:
Liam goes to the kitchen bar to check on the box of chocolates, if it is still there. The most that he can do is pretend that it is a toy car and play with it. Still we didn't open it. After dinnertime, and his Papa was now at home, he got the box of chocolate and asked his Papa if he can have already. We told him it's still not Christmas day, while pointing to our Christmas decor -- the Santa decor with the Christmas countdown on it. We told him there are 3 more days to go before Christmas. Liam then goes and gets his stool, adjusts the pointer on the countdown decor and puts it on one.

Liam: Papa, Mama, look it's Christmas already! I can already open my gifts! -- with matching grin on his face and excitement!(And of course the chocolates! hmmm, WAIS na bata!)

Syempre, natawa kami ni Alvin. Pero, sinabi namin na hindi pwede, kasi hindi pa nga Pasko! Naintindihan naman ni Liam, kasi nakikitawa siya. He thought he could trick us! hehehe

Being a parent is really not that easy! Kasi ako, gusto ko na rin kumain ng chocolates! But then again, kailangan pangatawanan na namin ito kasi pag bumigay kami, in the end, kami rin ang kawawa...anyways, 2 tulog na lang naman, Pasko na! Unahan na lang kami sa chocolates! :D
