it is bad

Tuesday, September 29th, 2009

After all the money spent, time and effort wasted, and a lot of people trying to help make things work, the stepson’s wife filed for a separation after only eight months of being married. So much for I can’t live without him and I love him so much I want to build a family with him. Since there is a child involved (they got married because she was pregnant) there are visitation issues which needs to be resolved. The other party ordered him to attend Baby Boot Camp and Infant CPR so he can have visitation without supervision. Which means he can have the baby for hours, just him and his son. Although with the ex-wife beingĀ  adamant she has to be present whenever visitation takes place which actually defeats the purpose of letting the dad get to know his son without her bit***** at him over why the relationship failed makes it stressful. It is complicated. For right now we are the supervisors, his dad and I. Anyway, I helped the stepson get appointments on classes he has to attend and he had one last night. The other one he has to do in a few weeks. I hope he will finish his other class so we don’t have to be present when visitation takes place. I hate the bickering and the finger pointing. I don’t know why we can’t all just be civil and get on with it until it is over. We know she does not have to be here but we are being nice and we know she is the mother but sometimes she really gets on my nerves with the way she acts and talks. The stepson is not helping much either. He gets riled up when she starts her s*** and the husband has to act the referee. There should be a law that says teenagers cannot have sex or get pregnant until they are forty maybe. Just my thought.

go on a holiday alone

Wednesday, September 23rd, 2009

There are times when a person needs a breathing space from work and other people. Those who have second homes go there to unwind while others opt for a trip either domestic or international, depending on their budget. This is actually my first time to hear this but I read that there is even a singles holidays for people who want to go on a holiday alone. It is best to unwind when you don’t have anybody to worry, that is for sure. There are companies like Just You that offers holiday getaway for people who are interested in going on a trip with people of diverse age range but totally unrelated to them in any way. Singles Holidays is not about dating or the like, the company only caters to people who want to go on holidays without any member of their family with them. It might be called singles but it literally means alone and not unattached. Just You said in their website that some of their customers are married but that these people want to go on a holiday to worldwide destinations with like-minded people. Probably to de-stress or just for the experience. It probably is fun. To be honest there are times I want to go on a vacation without my boys. I even told the husband about it once but he did not like the idea, lol. Perhaps when the little man is older I can do this. Not on an international trip but a domestic trip where I can come home if ever one of them needs me. Anyway, if you have the desire to go on a trip alone, you might want to try this. It will be worth the trip being around people of different sex, age, and attitude. This should be an adventure of a life time if it happens to me. If we only have the money for it (and the approval I need :) ) I would like to go. Anyway, betterĀ  look for prices and destinations in case you will be interested enough to go on one. SINGLES HOLIDAYS should beat the boredom and monotony of one’s daily routine.

guitar

Do you know how to play the guitar? We have three at home but nobody knows how to play one. The reason we have so many is because our son is into musical instruments and we found all of it cheap at the Flea market. I tried to learn when I was a kid but I am tone deaf. But then my father is too so I guess it runs in the family. We cannot carry a tune or is it a note? Lol. We hope this little boy will save us from that fate. Maybe he will be some kind of a rock star some day :)

running out of ideas

Saturday, September 12th, 2009

I am not in the mood to make a post tonight but it had been days since my last post so I don’t have a choice. I don’t know why but blogging is not as exciting as before. I am running out of things to talk about when in fact a lot is happening right now. My mind is tired I guess I need a break for a while. How long? Who knows. Maybe watching Korean dramas will help :D I will try to take pictures again so I can post more like what I did the first month this blog was up. Perhaps next time I will be able to post something nice.

a baby boy!

Sunday, September 6th, 2009

Last night the stepson’s wife gave birth to a healthy baby boy. He is an ounce heavier than the little man when he was born. We went this morning to visit and the husband was amazed at how the baby looks like his father when the latter was born. Sadly, the father is not here. He is visiting his mother and their relatives when she went in labor and consequently gave birth. We were informed late last night which made us sleep late. The baby is the husband’s third grandchild. The new mom asked me if I wanted to be called Grandma and I told her it does not matter to me what the baby calls me when he is older as long as he is a good boy and will respect us. We might go back tonight to visit mother and child again. I have pictures but I forgot to ask the mom if it was okay to post her baby’s pictures. I can’t wait to let everybody who is interested to know that the new addition to our family is here.

temper, temper

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

I have this awful attitude which I am not proud of. I am short tempered. I get annoyed easily. It don’t matter what the cause but when I don’t get my way I get ballistic. The husband said it is not being short tempered, it is being spoiled. Does that make a difference? No. I am what I am. I have tried to change but it is so hard. Imagine dealing with a kid with this kind of attitude? It is bad. I tend to yell when I am mad and the husband said it is not good for his son. Now when I am angry I don’t say a word. Nada. I even walk away from whatever made me upset. Very hard to do but I don’t want my son to have the same attitude when he grows up. I don’t want him to resent me with my excessive yelling. I think I am doing good. I guess having a kid changes people. It did me. Used to, life was all about me. Now it is all about my son and his father. My family. I hope to be able to maintain being good for their sake. I don’t want to hurt them in any way.
