sick with the cold

I have been sick for the last couple weeks. I had a cold which turned out bad and my wisdom teeth decided to put in appearances as well. I felt miserable and was walking around the house wearing pajamas and a sweater I looked like an old person. I have taken in all kinds of cold medications (which I hate) only to get about an hour's reprieve from congestion and coughing fits. I know I made the husband miserable because I was miserable but I hope he will not get what I had. Actually, I still got it but I have stopped taking medications because I am afraid I am going to get all kinds of side effects from them. The congestion has cleared a bit and I can actually smell and taste food when I eat. I told the husband I might be just a few days from getting a hundred percent better. I do hope I am. I hate being sick when I have kids to take care of. Besides, I know I whine too much when I am sick it makes the people around me sick of listening to me. I need to get better and soon.

fun times

A family friend went on vacation to the Philippines last year. Her and her husband stayed for weeks enjoying their off from work and at the same spending quality time with relatives. They posted a lot of pictures on Facebook and I enjoyed looking at them having a good time. They spent most of their time on the beach swimming, relaxing, having fun. They have tried body massages and even snorkeling too! There were pictures of them with snorkeling goggles on while laughing at the camera. The pictures made me miss my hometown even more. I would like to spend a few weeks visiting my parents and the rest of the relatives in PI. I probably will not have time to snorkel but I will definitely have a body massage and I will pig out on Filipino dishes when I can. The husband said it will happen, it is just a matter of when. I hope it will be soon since my parents have been asking me as to when they will see their grandchildren from me. I told them soon, which I hope will be before the year ends. I am keeping my fingers crossed.

full and happy

Tonight, I asked the husband if it was okay with him if I fry dried fish. He does not complain but I still ask him because I know how overwhelming the smell of fried dried fish is. At least if he is warned he can prepare himself. The reason for the fish was that I was constantly hungry but when I ate and get full I still am not contented. I crave for something else entirely which is annoying. I thought if I had dried fish and rice I should feel better which I did after I ate a whole plate full of rice and fish and vienna sausage. I know my fare screams diet pills but I was really hungry and I so wanted to satisfy my craving. Hours later, I am happy. I am satisfied with what I ate and so I will go to bed not full but empty but full and happy. And that is all that matters to me regardless of what you believe or say :)

shopping plan

For days now, I have been itching to go to the mall to shop. The husband told me to wait a few more days to do it because he wants me to pay off all my credit card bills first before using them again. I don't know what's the difference but since he does pay for everything then I am keeping my mouth shut. I want to buy the little girl bigger clothes and to see if I can find anything for me as well. I normally go to different stores to look at clearance stuff so I don't have to pay a lot for my purchases. And if I can, I use coupons on top of the sale price (if the store allows it) to pay even less. I already have a list of stores in mind and I know I will be using sears coupons among other store coupons that I accumulated. I like to shop at Sears because it is where I always get good deals on shoes. I am hoping I will get good deals on baby clothes as well. I will be a busy bee when I get ready to go shop and I am so looking forward to it.
