Yes, its less than a week before Christmas. Which means, it is less than that before my nephew's very First bday. (His bday is the 24th, the day before Christmas.)
There's so many things on my mind that I can't seem to focus. Its not even about Christmas shopping because I have finished that just in time before the "Christmas rush" kicked in. Although I must say, my mom is giving me her Christmas-Rush-Stress. She's passing her shopping list (sort of) to me at the very last minute! Now, I'm stressing out (partly) because of that. Good thing for me though, I always have extras things tucked way down my closet for future/emergency gifts. Haha! So the stress level went down real fast. (However, I just remembered, that I have to wrap them up, too! And its never easy when my daughter's with me... hehehe!)
Speaking of my daughter. She's teething again so she's been real cranky lately. Not to mention that she had a fever for a couple of days. I think its gone now, but she still has the cough (a little bit). I had a fever myself. Good thing I was off for a good number of days that I was able to take a rest. Thanks to my husband who's been helping me a lot more lately (and hopefully forever--hehe!).
Back to my daughter... she's starting to appreciate stuffed toys now. She's been real active and really sweet. She's just the smartest and sweetest little thing in the world... and I cannot express enough how much I love her.
Anyway, I just wanted to greet y'all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy 2008!

its been ages...
I can't believe I haven't made an entry in two months. We were so busy planning my little girl's FIRST birthday party, me going back to work (part time), my husband's injury, etc... I didn't have the time for blogging. Not to mention, how active my daughter is becoming each day... taking our eyes off her even for a second is not really a good idea. (oh no! Not at all!)
How time pass us by so quickly... my daughter turned ONE yesterday. Oct 23rd. But we had the celebration over the weekend. Before I go on any further, I would like to thank all the people who shared the night with us, who helped us set up, for the gifts, and everything else.
I hope everyone enjoyed the night.
I would also like to mention what a very good girl my daughter was. I made her put on a tinkerbell costume (well, wings, head band, and wand) and she did not take any of them off... only when I took 'em off of her (to eat/have a nap). In fact whenever the head band falls off (it was a little too big), she would hold on to it and even try to put it back on.
That's my little girl... who is now officially, ONE YEAR OLD.
We love you, Leah!

on a lighter note
I think I gained a lot of weight the past few days. All I did was eat. I am not proud of that. I would very much prefer to keep my figure (or lack there of, haha!) the way it is. Then again, I haven't really checked my weight yet so its not official (the weight gain).
My husband did "his thang" over the weekend. There was a small party at home, so he took advantage of that and practised for "the real thing." My daughter would not stop dancing! So she ended up having naps in between (because she gets tired, too)... but mind you, the moment she wakes up, she would start dancing again. Aaaah! We really have a little dancer. She kept me laughing all throughout the party.
My husband and I (of course our daughter, too) have been spending a lot of time together recently. And I am happy. He hurt himself at work that he had to take some time off. (Not so happy about that part.) I am just glad that he's home. I miss him everytime he leaves for work.
We (James and myself) saw Bourne Ultimatum last night. Leah was left with my mom (My mom suggested it coz she wanted to spend as much time as she can with Leah). I know that movie has been out for a while... but it was only til last night that my husband and I were able to actually see it. It's not easy to just go out when you have a very active infant at home. It was my first movie in months! I miss going to the movies... *sigh*
My daughter would always kiss her dad in the morning, trying to wake him up. She would look him up under the sheets and kiss his face all over. And when he starts to move, she would laugh as if he's playing with her. I think she misses him, too... that's why she kisses him more than she kisses me. :p
Speaking of my daughter, she's learning to climb DOWN now. By that I mean, her feet first. She would climb down the bed and the stairs or wherever she is that is a little bit elevated. Of course, when it comes to the stairs, she can only climb down one step for now.
Another new thing my daughter does is standing up unassisted. Yes, she would stand up for a few seconds on her own. This usually happens when she would stand up and grab something (usually the remote or cellphone, etc)... then she would hold it with both hands and actually stay standing up for quite a while without support.
Yes, I have a feeling she's not going to be my baby much longer. :( Something I am not willing to let go of so soon.

no excuse
Yes, I know I have no valid excuse for not blogging as much. All I could think about is... my mind is pre-occupied most of the time.
My TO-DO List is at least (actually more than) half way done. [Thank goodness!] So I can't say that I'm stressing out again. After working 8 days straight (two weeks ago, I guess) and missing out on a lot of things, mostly my husband's new business, there's just so much to catch up on. Like, hugs and kisses for my daughter whom I missed greatly.
So, as you may or may not know, I quit that job and now in search for a (preferrably) part-time job nearby. Quite honestly, I would very much prefer a part time job, but my second option is a full time job... so long as it is nearby. I wouldn't want to miss out on things because of the time I spent on commuting.
I have had a lot of call backs. But I always pray for God's guidance whether or not those call backs are really for me. And as always, my prayers are always answered. When it comes to work, I would love to go back (full time)... but thinking about my daughter, how I'm going to have to leave her everyday just breaks my heart into pieces. Even though she will be left with family members, when I am not around she is never okay... not to mention, when I am not with her, I am not okay.
Heck, just thinking about going to work brings tears to my eyes.

and it continued..
My TO-DO List just got a bit longer. Since I was away for days, i never had the chance to clean up. Yes, our room is now a mess... not to mention my clothes are nowhere near organized.
I know I was only away for days, and I only worked part time. But after work, we had to stay at James' granmother's place until James wakes up (he usually sleeps when I get home)... which means up to around 3 hours. That's time wasted for me... because I could've been cleaning then or giving Leah a bath, etc.
James also needs me for organizing his song lists. I never had time for that either when I started working.
Yes, I guess it's for the best that I had to quit that job. :p
