Breaking The Routine

-
I have been on sabbatical for almost 2 years. For a stay-at-home mom like me, what I miss, aside from the regular 15-30 salary (*sigh*), would be the times I eat out for lunch with my colleagues. Nowadays, lunch time is good and means sharing home-cooked meals with my folks while waiting for the time I get to pick up my sons from school. Not that I mind, but lunch out for me usually happens on weekends, if possible at all.

Today, a Monday, I had a lunch date with Jerry. From out of nowhere, while getting ready for work, he just popped the invitation. So the rest of the morning, I was happily looking forward to having a special time with hubby while enjoying our food selection.

Come noontime, we chose Cafe Georg at Banilad. And it was a pleasant surprise to find the place packed - on a Monday! I ordered the pork belly roll up and banana yogurt honey shake while Jerry had no-frills US sirloin cheeseburger.

Food was great and time spent was extra special.

What a whole week of heroic deeds from Pinoys helping their kababayans, and for all the angels in our lives. :)

School and a Mixed Bag of Emotions

"You can’t imagine your life with kids, until you have them, then you can’t imagine your life without them." ~Author Unknown It's been a week since two of our three sons flew to Manila to attend their classes. Even with the (remaining) 9 year old son at home, doing his usual stuff alternately watching tv, tinkering with his Legos, cutting/ folding/ creating things with paper and playing with the iPad, and making a ruckus all by his lonesome, the house is, weirdly, quiet. I often find myself introspecting... about the nest almost empty now and other similar thoughts. And I struggle to stop myself from wallowing in a mixed bag of emotions. It's not a bad thing, except, I could waste hours doing that. I thought I was totally in control and could dismiss the situation as another milestone, like seeing your child lose his first baby tooth. Nothing a warm hug or an ice cream could not fix. On the contrary, that hug at this time just exacerbates the yearning. It
