Finding time to write things in this blog is very difficult these days. With mommy duties, work and the kids' homework, it leaves so little time for recreation and ME time. These happened in the month I've been absent from blogging:
We've finally established a routine for us and the kids. This helped us manage other activities around the more important aspects of daily life. It gets less complicated by the day. I still complain about the amount of homework we have to deal with from the Big School.
Our spa business survived the lean month of June. July sales is slowly picking up and I hope it goes up from there. I finally have all the business papers I need. It was tedious process, dealing with these government agencies. But I am thankful that we got everything we need. I just dread doing it annually.
There are just too many unplanned expenses cropping up these days. I just get emotional over these things because I plan my spending over several months. Having to part with money I tried hard to save for necessities is really difficult specially if the beneficiary doesn't really need it.
I realized that my needs are different from others'. Some of their needs are other people's luxuries.
If people don't see you as a threat, they become more friendly and less hostile.
Both Javi and Bettina have asthma. I was surprised that Bettina can communicate well enough to say that she can't breathe. We were in the hospital for two days because our home meds weren't working. With our experience with Bettina, I was able to prevent Javi's asthma from becoming a full-blown attack. Now, I know what to listen for using a stethoscope.
When the kids are sick, not a day goes by that I regret not going into medicine. Then, if I had gone that way, I'd probably have no kids to keep me busy.
Johann didn't get the love for reading from me. He takes after his father who loves cars and can't live with a TV. He needs constant motivation when it comes to reading. Vic wants us to consider tutoring. I still have to think about it, because I survived without it.
We're finally having our garden re-landscaped. Thankfully, it is not as expensive as it used to be.
As you can see, it was a pretty normal month for us. Up next, our summer travel kwentos.
