Help in the House

I can't seem to get around cleaning the whole house all at once, this is the down side to having a big house. When I feel desperate about not getting things done the way I feel they should have, I have the weirdest thought of looking for mobile home for sale, I'm sure that's much easier to maintain. I miss living in the Philippines where you can hire a maid to do household chores and more. I envy my sister for having her own maid and also live close to my mom who helps her every now and then. While I'm all alone here in US without any help and I do everything, things that I've never done before. Oh well, I guess I've learned to do a lot of things at home that I would have never learned otherwise if I had help.

Weight Loss Plan

I thought I could stick to my plan of going back to the gym after our little guy's birthday, but I failed. The ideal time to go to the gym is right after dropping off my son to school but still it doesn't work for me. There are always tons of errands to run and chores to do while there's no kid tagging along. It's quicker and much easier to do things while my son is at school so I grabbed every minute of it. So for now, my workout is taking a backseat to my to-do-list so I might as well consider weight loss pills like sensa to accomplish my dream weight. Or I should just eat sweets in moderation.

Protecting Skin From Sun Damage

My hb makes fun of me when I slather myself with sunblock every time we go fishing on a hot day like yesterday. Well we had rains for God knows how long before this hot weather came, so people were just too excited to go out on their summer clothes and probably get some tan, but not me. What's wrong with that? I just wanted to protect my skin from premature aging so I always carry sunblock with me. I wish there was a product that could help maintain younger looking complexion which by the way I saw one online called youthology. l'm not really sure what this product could do, probably a wrinkle reducer but I would just stick to moisturizer and sunblock.

Father's Day Gifts

Father's Day is coming soon, have you shopped for your gift yet? I did mine online two weeks ago so I'm all set. I'm just waiting for them to be delivered. I love to get personalized gifts like the personalized football gift I got before but this year I got my honeybunch a personalized fish pail and a 'Fishing Buddy' shirt. He loves to go fishing with our little guy so of course I got the little guy an identical personalized fish pail too. I can't wait to see their reactions, I'm sure they will love them.

Securing the Future

It's hard when you become a parent quite later in life like I do. I worry about my son's future all the time. I wish to be always there for him when he needs me, don't all parents do? But of course nobody knows what life brings, so you just have to be prepared all the time. I'm seriously going through term life insurance quotes that I got through the mails and maybe take out some to secure my son's future in case anything happens. It's not that I'm hoping for worse to happen but it's good to have a buffer.

My Prediction

So my fave tv shows' seasons either already ended or are coming to an end so tv watching will be boring again. Well to stay positive about it, once the shows are done for the season at least I could concentrate with something else than wasting time on tv. Back to my fave shows, should I light a cigar already to celebrate the winning (as I predicted and anticipated) of Hines Ward in DWTS? Yes I'm rooting for Hines ever since but hopefully I won't jinx it by declaring him already a winner. What I should do is look for best prices on avo cigars first to complete the celebration. May Hines get the most vote in the finals.

Love Food Shopping

Unlike when my son was little and couldn't stay put in the cart while food shopping, now he enjoys our trips to the grocery store more than ever. It is because I give him a job as barcode scanner or veggies or fruit weigher (exactly his terms), so food shopping is never boring for him anymore. As a mom I salute the person who invented the scanner as trips to grocery stores are not a chore anymore but an adventure for my son.

Layoffs

So my hb's company announced that it is going to have massive layoffs. This is a very scary news considering that the economy hasn't really picked up yet. Though statistics show that there were lots of jobs already created, there are still a lot who remain unemployed. And this layoff news will only add up to unemployment statistics again. If you look at career websites you will see a lot of tech jobs available but when you're past 50 it is usually hard to get in especially when you would like receive the salary you're currently at. I am just hoping and praying that my hb would still be safe and secure with his job.

Crime Shows

My hb is so into crime shows like forensic and investigation discovery. I watch with him from time to time, and it can be riveting sometimes, but I would grimace in disgust at how some people could be so cold blooded to have the guts to commit such gruesome crimes. The cold case show that we just saw a while ago where two young men massacred seven people working in a restaurant not for money but just for kicks is so beyond me. How could one hurt let alone kill somebody just for the excitement of it? You would think these people could be vicious meth addicts who are mentally deranged and so not in their right mind kicks to commit such a crime. But to kill just for kicks is so unthinkable!

Will It Work For Me

I always wonder how hollywood stars who had just given birth could lose weight and be like runway-model-thin again in few weeks? How do they do it? I know they could afford personal trainers, but could it be that there are cosmetic surgeries involved there too? Oh well, I wish I could afford a personal trainer too or had the discipline to stick to a work-out schedule so then I wouldn't be reading ab cuts reviews to see if they would work for me. Actually though hesitant I feel like trying some weight loss pills to see if they really work.

I Need a Miracle

Our annual family portrait shoot is scheduled tomorrow, so I want to look my best. But I have been away from the gym for quite sometime now due to other priorities so you can say that I'm out of shape. Well, I'll just save you all from speculating,,,, I'm really out of shape with muffin top! If only there are hgh supplements that would give me leaner muscles in less than 24 hours, I would buy them all. Why do I only feel the need to lose weight when I have to dress nice for pictures? Well I guess since I can't work miracles, I would just content myself to using spanx or suck it in.
