HUG

The weather is terrible nowadays. It can be sunny the whole day then rain pours during the night. Like today; sunny in the early morning then it rained suddenly, the sun came out in the afternoon and tonight the rain just stopped. Gosh I’m talking about the weather. But I have to include the weather because I think it’s affecting the health today.

Hammie just had fever and is still having cough and I hope he’ll be well soon. Last week was a worrisome week for me and my husband because you can really see that Hammie was not feeling well. He looked weak. He slept a lot and wouldn’t eat. Good thing he would still drink his milk. His fever was not high but it’s there and his cough was very dry he almost lost his voice.

Being a fulltime mom, I can monitor Hammie’s condition and his medicine intake. He was still playing at times but most of the time he wants to be carried. Good thing by Saturday he was okay to go to church for an anticipated mass. My only prayer was that he would be healed. Then I got worried because by Sunday his cough was very slow in healing and the fever got high. When we got to my parents house he slept and he sweated a lot. He sweated profusely that the pillow got wet. God heard my prayer.

The next day, he was still kind of weak but we wanted to cheer him up so we brought him along the mall to buy some groceries. Before we went back to the house, we decided to buy some magazines and while my hubby and I were squatting by a shelf choosing a puzzle book, Hammie then stood between us, placed each of his arms around our necks and gave us a big hug. Well, that was a good sign that he is getting healed.

Hammie is back to his bouncy self even with a little cough. He wants to play a lot. At times I would be too tired to play but today I’m so glad he wanted to race with his mama. Thank God for hugs.

Decisions, decisions

Decisions, decisions


Today is one of those days that I got some time to reflect on my situation. And I did so much reflecting that my words would jumble up with each other and I get confused on what I really feel. So, I paused and breathed. So where I am right now? I’m a mother of two kids. A full time mom. Paused again. A wife to a great husband who is very responsible and loving not just to me but our two sons. Basically that’s it. That’s the summary of my situation right now. Sounds simple, yeah I know but as one of my Whatever shirts says – my life is based on a true story - . and of course it is. Well, whatever.

Where was I again? Ow, on my situation. Pause. Thinking. Okay, I’m in a middle of a crossroad here. And it’s so hard to choose. Or maybe I’m just scared to choose. To be or not to be? That is always the question. There are so many choices to choose from and each has its own pros and cons making it more difficult to decide. Pause. Stare into space. Think, think, think (when you have a problem, think, think, think! - from tigger and pooh) and the song is running through my head now distracting me from thinking at all. Or maybe I just want to be distracted so I don’t have to think at all. Sigh. I’ll just stare into space again until I get sense through my head….
