Pink Memoirs

I have been off from blogging for the past few days now. I have been very busy with my offline duties (mommy, wife, nurse to my sick boys and being the househelp). Also, hubby suggested that I take a break from blogging because it’s our birthdays. So being the submissive wife I am, I did take a few days off from writing, though I have been itching to update my blogs every time I open them, but somehow the off that I have also been wanting gave me the urge not to write.

Now that our birthday week is over and it’s a new week, and a brand new year has been added to both hubby and I, I am officially ending my blogging hiatus. I feel like blogging has become a quintessential part of me and that I am really sane when I am doing so, hehehe. Hubby has also lifted his “day-off rule” so I am now back to updating my blogs. Besides, I need to occupy my mind so that I won’t feel depressed and lonely again. The recent events in our lives have made me feel so down, so I really need to busy myself.

Anyway, I have also opened “my business” to my friends who needed help, though I haven’t announced this in my groups yet. So for now, I am back to blogging and thank you everyone for dropping by and taking time to read my rants and leaving your imprints. Have a nice day peeps!

The other night,  I had a strange dream. There were snakes in two different dreams. In my first dream, there was a black snake, but I could not really determine and remember what transpired in that dream, all I could see was the black snake. The second dream gave me some sort of a nightmare because I stiffened in the bed. Good thing I woke up and my heart was really breathing fast. Anyway, in that dream, the snake was golden. It had shiny gold scales, it was big and long and was curling up in a steel bar. Then there was a woman wearing a peculiar black dress, she was a middle-aged woman, she was fair, she looked like a witch in a modern fairy tale movie. Anyway, when I saw the golden snake, I immediately squashed its head, I was so scared of it because it was hissing at me. When I got the chance to hit his head, I trampled it with all my might, including its body.  The funny thing was that it turned into a flaky meat, still bearing all the golden scales, and the woman beside the snake was screaming and crying, but was not doing anything to me.

I was so relieved knowing that I had killed the snake, but when I was about to leave, the snake had returned to its normal form! It was a huge snake again, with its scales shinier than it was before. It became angrier and that really freaked me out. When it hissed at me, that’s when I woke up.

It was really strange. I could not think of anything related to those dreams, probably, they could be trials and temptations, the snake could mean something, I really don’t know. I am a skeptic when it comes to meanings of dreams, I trust God and I rely on Him for my future. Whatever those dreams mean, I don’t want to know anymore.

It’s been two days now that my boys are all sick. First it was Baby Job who had colds and cough. It started two nights ago, he was very cranky and was crying all his sleeping hours. I wasn’t able to sleep well because I had to carry him and play with him to at least reduce him from being so irritable. It was really a terrible night.

The following day, hubby caught the virus. He complained of headache, body and joint pains, watery eyes and nose and he was sneezing incessantly. By night-time, he had slight fever; and our little boy also started sneezing, a sign that he also got the flu bug! I had to be the nurse because the doctor is sick! Hahahaha! Good thing my boys can take any medicine… oh well, except for those bitter ones. It aches my heart to see the little baby spit out everything he has taken in when he coughs, to see hubby huddle in the sofa trying to doze off, and to watch the little boy who has stuffy nose and asking why he is sick. I am trying to stay strong for the three because if I don’t, it will be just disaster!

Today, Baby Job’s colds has already subsided and he’s still very active, but hubby is still down. I just hope that by tomorrow, hubby will be okay and the little boys as well. I hope too that I will have all the strength to take care of my boys. Me getting sick now is really not an option.

Get well soon my boys!

Hubby and I had this embarrassing experience a couple of years ago. We were on our way back home from doing our grocery shopping using our motorcycle, when one man in the street shouted at us and called our attention. Our groceries have fallen off from the plastic bags! Canned goods and other stuff were scattered on the sidewalk. We really did not notice that the goods we bought were already slipping off and there was already a big hole in our bags. We were also a few meters away already and thank God that man called us. When we returned to the area, we noticed that some of canned goods have already been gone, obviously, they were stolen, but we still picked up those that were left.

From then on, hubby and I promised to use eco bags to place our groceries and secured them with a bungee cord to keep them intact. That was years ago when we still had to use our motorcycle to go to the city, but now, we have to use the van since our family has grown already. The eco bags are still used for our groceries, though. Now, we are sure that none of our goods will fall off or slip from the bags.
