Homeschool
It's been 7 weeks since homeschool started. Major adjustment for us since we go to traditional school ever since. Good thing my eldest can manage her needs on her own. My challenge is my 4-year old because she can be a handful at times. Then imagine times 12 kids so it's chaos. Good thing my kid experienced going to school last year so she's familiar with her teacher, classmates and the routine. My main concern is that she gets distracted easily. Because we are at home, her attention goes somewhere. So I really can't leave her unattended. It's skill assessment this week and I think we are doing okay.
One thing homeschool taught us is TEAM WORK. We learn to adjust and do everything together all the time. Since I'm working from home, I can monitor their needs and progress. So I can say we are enjoying every minute of home school ever since it started.
Happy Mid-Week!
*Sending good vibes to all*

Picture of the Week
So I asked hubby what he had for dinner and he sent me this pic....
~ Shawarma ~
Sometimes, he would complain that he had no idea what to cook. Since pork is not allowed there, he had to no choice but to go to the nearest food chain and get Shawarma. I wonder what is the difference between the Shawarma here and the Shawarma there? Hmmm... Anyway, there are only 3 establishments that I know serves delish Shawarma and that's---Mister Kebab, Turks and Tri Mo Shawarma Ko in Fairview.
I have to mention--the hot sauce in the picture looks epic.

TGIF!
I'm excited every Friday because I have weekend day-offs. We're going to Bulacan tomorrow and I look forward on lunch. FIL serves the best lunch. It's also payday-friday so I expect traffic when I get off from work. I'll probably listen to good music just in case I'll stuck in traffic. I'm not in hurry anyway. Enjoy the weekend guys!

Birthday party!
It's Papsie's birthday party at Aberdeen court tonight. Everything should be ready. I finished frosting the cupcakes yesterday and final touches will be at the venue later this afternoon. I will fetch the kiddo from school, get some stuff at home (and course, bachuchai) and we'll head straight to the venue because I don't want to get stuck in traffic with the kids in tow.
Kiddo and I are suppose to perform a song but I backed out. Yes I did. It's soo not me. I just got so busy this week with work and the cupcakes, that I had no time to practice. I feel bad. I really wanna make-up with the kiddo because she really did practice... for that I'm proud of her.
Lately, I was thinking of getting a pick-up for my acoustic guitar. I'm suppose to use it but I got worried that they might not hear the guitar clearly if we'll just point a microphone to it. I was checking on guitar pick-ups on musiciansfriend.com sales and really looking forward on buying one. There's another event coming up and I really wanna play with the kiddo this time.

Our Second has arrived!
DECEMBER 30 - Our second child arrived. I was really planning to give birth January 2016 but due to pre-eclampsia complications, my OB had to ask me to go to ER. I really tried my best---bed rest, lots of fluids, fruits, wheat bread and all the good stuff but my BP was just so high this past week. I had to take meds for high blood but it did not work. Today, my sister had to buy just this one item in Trinoma and she insisted that she will be quick. I thought what the heck, let's go...knowing that I'm due anytime. So while she was doing her business, I decided to go to the clinic and have my urine tested. This procedure was also over due. So me and my daughter waited for the results and my bacteria count was high! Also had my BP taken and the nurse was speechless. She just said, call your OB mommy. So I send a text message to my OB and she reply, go to the ER. I was stunned. So we went home and loaded the car with the things we need. My sister and I were planning to eat dinner at home with our take-away pasta, but I guess change of plans.
At ER, the nurse said they were expecting me because my OB called them already. Okay it was straight to the labor room for me. There, the resident OB monitored my stats and this kind and pretty nurse was very friendly. My OB arrived and they talked. Apparently, my stats did not improve. After 3 dosage of sulfur (I think), BP still high. They decided emergency CS because they were seeing patterns on the baby's heart beat. A lot of happened and it was painful. Not labor pains but meds inserted thru IV, antibiotic injected and the catheter. It happened to fast, and at this time, I was having a hard time to breath. So you can imagine that I was a little bit in panic mode. At 10pm, I wheeled over to the operating room and at 10:30pm, our second has arrived. I was half awake when she came out so I only heard a soft and quiet cry. The doctor finally showed me baby LJ and I laughed a little because I thought I saw my eldest born again. They took a photo of us and she was wheeled over to the pedia section for screening. I stayed at the recovery for a few hours. While waiting, the nurse brought little LJ again for some bonding time. I was so happy.
Finally, I was brought to my room to rest. Little LJ stayed t NICU because of minor complications. So I had to go down every now and then to be with her and try to feed her. It was hard to do all the paper work while being the patient at the same time but all the hard work paid off. We were finally sent home on the fourth day. So we spend the New Year at the hospital.
We still need to complete the antibiotic for the next couple of days but being at home with my little LJ is HAPPINESS.
