Caroleen’s Treasures

Have you experienced dowloading a file and after waiting for more than an hour and it is 94% downloaded, your pc automatically restarted? That happened to me today, but I took it just fine. I was really wanting to do some digiscrapbooking when I started this blog. After seeing some blogs with lay outs, I was really really wanting to try it. But of course I could not afford to spend $$ on kits so I went searching for freebies on the internet. After I found the kit I wanted, I started downloading it and patiently waited. I was too unlucky that my pc did not cooperated. If only he knew that it will be only minutes then I am done. Anyway, I got over with it quickly, after all I was not that sure if I can do lay outing while I am on my first trimester.

As usual, my throwing up spells goes on and on. I think I could be dehydrated because I cannot even hold down water. I just laid in bed almost the whole morning and cleaned Ella’s toenails during nap time. I have slept longer until morning so I don’t need another couple of hours of nap. Since Ella’s birth, I really had a hard time cutting her toenails (not to mention her fingernails too) because it is not the usual form of kid’s. I have to use nippers and pusher just to get the dirt stuck on the ingrown areas. I am just glad she has no issues with it everytime we did it. Only that she wanted to do it herself which I can’t trust her to do it at this time.

At 3 pm we went to get some groceries. I have to remind them not to be too loud when teasing each other because we are in a public place. Ella rides in the cart, she loves that, while Donald pushes and tries to tease her every minute. They can be too loud and I am afraid people might be annoyed. We picked only the most needed items since we had less earnings last payday. Then we went to the market to buy pineapple. On our way to the market, Ella was begging to play in the park, I said we go first in the market and then to the park. By the looks of Donald, he doesn’t agree with the arrangement because we have 3 bags of groceries but I just pinched him lightly on the side. While I made this pinching ad winking to Donald just to get him to agree, Ella was whining at the back of the cab. She wanted to go in the park first and market next. She can be too stubborn if not corrected. I was annoyed so I cut it off and said we are not going to the park anymore because she cannot understand and all she wanted is to get her way.

In the market, Donald and her waited for me infront while I went to the fruit stand. I picked just one medium sized because we can get some more tomorrow which is market day. Fruits and veggies and other goods are cheaper during market day’s which was sold by the vendors from other towns. When I went back to them, Ella was asking me to go to the park and that she promised that she will be good and understand what we are trying to say. I told her NO because I already made up my mind and that she should learn her lesson. While we are talking, Donald went to get fish for dinner at the back portion of the market. Ella was trying to delay us by asking if we can drink coke. I said we can have it at home. When Donald came back, we piled inside the cab and asked the driver to stop by the bakery so we can get Ella some bread. While Donald ran in there, Ella asked me if we can just get inside th bakery and have a merienda there. This little girl has her own delaying tactics, doesn’t she? I know she really don’t want to go home and tries to sweet talk us but I explained why we should go home. First, she misbehaved and tried to push what she wanted, second rain is coming and we needed to be home and third, there is a lot more “tomorrow” so we could go to the park “tomorrow” if she’d be good.
