My Mom is with my sister already. Because of that, my sister and I had a misunderstanding. Painful words were spoken and somehow we are not in the speaking terms. All of us are trying to be good children, I suppose but at the expense of whom and who shall benefit, right?

I told my sister that all of us should be responsible for our mother. It is a very long novel why we are quite detached to our Mom. Well, not to wash our dirty laundry in public anymore, I guess…

Anyways, I just sent my Mom to my eldest sister. She has our brother and Mom now. I know I did not do my end of the bargain. But, it is family first, I guess. I was caught up between my own family and my Mom. My kids do not like their grandmother. I and my husband found it difficult to get along with her as well.

Now, maybe my sister is right about saving for old age. Our future grandchildren and even our kids’ future spouses might not like us as well.

I am thinking of a good peace offering to my sister. I went to the mall and I could not find anything fancy. Well, I want something unique. Then, I remembered, they are renovating their house. I will give her decorative switch plate covers! My sister liked what we have in our own house and asked me to buy some for her before. Now is the best time! I am sure that she will accept my peace offering!

For my birthday, I am asking my husband to buy a new van for me. My sister also told me to check a 5th wheel warranty. Well, first things first. An insurance is very important especially nowadays that you can’t be too sure what will happen along the way, right? Well, I hope to get my new van. That is in preparation for summer. I am planning for a road trip for the family. The kids are growing up and it is high time that we collect good memories together that they can bring when they are already on their own. Oh, the futuristic Mom in me.

This Christmas was extra special because my Mom is with us. We felt that she was happy or happier. We thank God that we have this time to spend with her.

We had the usual opening of gifts before midnight as we ate the Christmas feast at exactly December 25 00:00 A.M. Mom was very happy to receive two mexican blankets from my parents in law. Yes, they get along well. Mom was quite shy because it was her first time to have Christmas with us and with my in laws too!

Christmas is really family time. Create good memories for the Season.

Here am I spending my lunch break writing. Non-work related, at least, thus I am still taking a break! Instead of lunch break, I am having lunch write! Well, I am just in the mood for writing. I have to take advantage of it if I want my blogs to be alive. I received warnings from advertisers that to keep the membership, content is a must. Oh, I know that all along. In the first place, the reason why I wanted to blog is to first and foremost express myself and at least use the talent that I think I have—writing

An additional head count? It is stressful in the budget, I guess. Especially if that one head is equals to three!

I mentioned that we have our Mom and my brother living with us already. It is a family decision. Our Mom is old and we have to take care of her. Actually, she is just turning 60 but she is sickly already. Maybe because of the lack of nutrition as she preferred to live alone before because of too many reasons.

Anyways, I am quite stressed out lately as I was not really prepared for it. I sent my brother to my eldest sister since it is the actual arrangement. She will have our brother then I will have our Mom.

My Sister sends money for my Mom’s food allowance but still, I am having a hard time making both ends meet. My Mom has some demands. I texted my Sister and she told me that I should not give in to all of our Mom’s requests. I just need to give her the basics like food and shelter and most of all, love.

Anyways, I am sure that everything will be fine soon. The previous 30 days or so was quite exhausting that there are additional two heads in our budget. Now, only one as our brother is with my Sister already.

I know, I should not worry this much. God will provide.

I love Puma! That is why, if I can grab as many puma coupons this season, I will be very glad! Puma offers almost all of your apparel needs plus of course, its shoes! I can surely make use of a discount especially that I have a husband and kids and myself to buy new rubber shoes for our family exercise. We need to match it with some tees and jogging pants or shorts! I am so excited! I will be able to but more than one set considering the discount that I will get using those coupons!

I need long s video cables, adaptors, switches and other electrical supplies. I am planning to put up my mini gym at the second floor of our house. Well, a TV personality inspired me to pursue my own gym. Enough of my excuses of not wanting to exercise. My first step is do aerobics by dancing with the video exercise that I recently bought.

It is a beautiful Monday morning! Cold and misty but still beautiful. I want to grab a cup of hot coffee indeed! But then again, I want to go back to bed and sleep the whole day again just as I did yesterday. I hope that it will not rain that much because I do not have an extra umbrella. I left one in the shuttle and the other at the office. Yeah, maybe I need to buy a new one later.

Happy Monday to all and have a great week ahead!

Oh! I am so happy to find what I have been looking for! It is a composter! Yes, I need one for my environment project! Yes, I want some fertilizers. I want them to be as organic as they can be and a compost bin will just be able to do it for me! Enough trips to the coffee shop where I get my garden fertilizers.
