We are setting an early bed time schedule. Or that is what we talked about doing a couple nights ago. At nine we should all be in bed, but guess what? It is only a few minutes before eleven yet we are still up. I bet the husband will not be happy when he sees me and the little man still in bed at 8 am. He said it is not proper to stay in bed all day hence the early to bed rule. But then, what else should we do? Why should we wake up early when there is nothing for us to do but eat when we get up? I say we should enjoy this days before the little man starts school because then it will be different. I might even have to work when the time comes instead of letting the whole day pass me by. That is still a few years ahead so I should just enjoy, right? Maybe I can make the husband see through this reasoning. For now, we have to go to bed and I have to bid you good night. Sweet dreams

I am not feeling good. I don’t know what is going on. I am nauseated yet hungry all the time. There is a pack of Tums in my purse but those do not seem to work well. I have quit taking other antacids because I am afraid of what it will do to my body. I guess I will just have to let it pass whatever this thing that is causing the uncomfortable feeling. And hope it will not come back. I do have a suspicion on what is causing this nausea but I am not certain. Nor do I want to think about it yet. It requires some time and a test to know. I will let you know (if you are interested, that is) when I am sure. I hope I am making sense, lol.

Watching a good movie is one of my favorite past-time. Second to reading, that is. Whenever there are new releases I always search which ones have the good reviews and make it a point to watch it when I can. I love to watch a good movie. It had to stop when I gave birth though. I had to take care of my son and we could not find a sitter for him so I have to wait until the movie I like is released on dvd which is oftentimes annoying. Knowing that everybody else but me has watched the movie I like does not sit well with me. I hope to be able to go to the movie theater again specially since there is a good comedy that is to be released on April 9, 2010. Yay, it is just a few days away! If I have to find a sitter I have to be real quick. Either that or bring the little man with us. I do not know how the latter will work out though. The movie I am talking about is Date Night starring Steve Carell and Tina Fey. I like both of them. They are both funny. And I like the fact that the movie is a comedy. This is what we need right now, something to make us laugh and forget our worries for a while. And to be honest, the husband and I need to spend a few hours for a date. We both know we have not done it in years. I think we deserve a few hours of laughter courtesy of a Date Night Movie which means we do have to leave the little man at home with a sitter after all. I remember he wanted to go watch a movie weeks ago but we did not go because we could not agree on a movie. This might be one we will agree on. I hope. I have to get to work on finding a reliable sitter for the little man so we can go on that date. I am already excited. Watch this trailer for a sneak peek of what is to come.

We went to the beach today just to get out of the house. We felt the need to go out and let the stretch of beach and water to soothe our nerves. It was a good day to spend on the beach where we did not have to bring anything but ourselves. Oh, I did bring my camera and took some pictures. We walked some, the little man and I argued some (it can’t be helped, lol), we talked, we let him run, I took pictures, the husband took pictures of me (which I deleted promptly because to be honest I looked hideous), we enjoyed our stay. It is a good thing that the stepson purchased a park pass which he did not use and gave it to his father for us to use. It only had a few months left but that is a few months we do not have to pay for parking. We talked about stopping at the drug store for candies but decided against it at the last minute because we do not need to add any more pounds to our already overweight bodies. The little man did ask for Mounds when we got home though so we had to give him a couple. This is the only kind of chocolate he eats so we let him have it. We had a good day today and I think everybody is happy. We should do this often.

It is late yet I am still up. This is because I made the mistake of thawing a pack of marinated milkfish which I had to fry. So fry the fish I did which took longer than normal for some reason. Then I had to clean the kitchen and made sure everything is washed and clean. Now I am free to go to bed but I have a book which I have started reading today and I want to finish it tonight if I could. I am lucky that the husband is watching a documentary and the little man who had a long nap today is busy with his game. I was halfway through the book when I decided to update this blog. This scatterbrain is doing everything all at once it is a wonder I get anything done. I will make this short though and maybe make another post on the morrow. Good night everyone.

The little man is already three years old but he is still in diapers. I am not very proud of that fact but short of forcing him to sit in the commode the whole day, I cannot do anything much about it. I have tried coaxing, bribery, and full blown explanations about why he should already be using the potty but nothing happens. Nada. He cries like we did him some injustice. Or hurt his feelings. So the husband and I agreed that we will not rush him. We hope that he will eventually do it on his own and that will be that. We still are buying diapers by the box right now. In all honesty, I like diapers because we do not have to stop to use the rest room when we are travelling. But the little man is prone to diaper rash. He gets red down there and he walks funny. I have to keep a tube of ointment just for this purpose because I do not want the rash to get worse. Although he does not complain about his discomfort it is my job to keep him comfortable and healthy. I always just use store brand when I buy the cream but the last time we were at the sister-in-law’s house and I ran out of cream she asked me if I have tried Boudreaux’s Butt Paste for the little man’s diaper rash yet. I told her no. I have not even heard of the name before that. She said I should try it and I did. It worked great on the little man’s skin. It healed his rear right up. I am impressed. I do not care much about how a product smells like so long as it is effective but the Butt Paste has a pleasant smell to it. And although I have not purchased it yet (I want to use up the cream we have at home) I am planning to get one as soon as possible and keep on using it instead of the store brands that we normally buy. But since they do offer free samples I would like to avail of that first. After all, I always love freebies.

The husband is out right now to accompany his son who has to buy a car. The stepson’s car (which his father gave him about two years ago) is in need of a repair and him and his father agreed that instead of spending money on that old car, he should just go ahead and buy a newer and better car. The last time the husband called I was told that his son favors a truck and that the dealership they went to may just be able to cut him a deal. I hope it will go through. The kid needs a new ride and he also needs something he could spend his work money on instead of his “friends” who only remembers him when he has money. We don’t like the company he keeps but it his choice. Anyway, if things will work out, the stepson might be driving his new car home. This is better this way. It will teach him to prioritize and budget his money in a good way. We do hope he is happy with this decision and that he will be responsible for his actions.
