Caroleen’s Treasures

Whenever Donald gets his hands on the task that has to be done without any fuss, I see him as someone sent from heaven with wings in white robe. I just told him this afternoon that we needed to clean and get rid of the trash that accumulated in there for 5 months and moments later, unexpectedly he started getting his hands on it. He could be a procastinator too like me and sometimes it ticks me off when I needed to remind him over and over again. Of course if I am not pregnant, I could have done it alone but since there’s a lot of carrying to do I needed his Super powers. Some boxes and native crates full of plastic and steel hangers, mannequins (from our previous small business) and some sort of collection that ended up in the garbage. Everything in there was organized now as I wanted to be. I sew curtains for the stockroom (it has no door yet) and for the two cabinets underneath the sink to cover the rotten cabinet doors. When I am done sewing, I organized my sewing materials in the two tupperwares that Mama Ingrid sent in hopes that it would stay as organized as they are right now. The Tupperwares has dividers intended for small stuffs such as needles, buttons, pins, threads etc..I have not seen such kind of Tupperware here. Maybe it’s only sold in the US.

Ella has been making me smile all day. She came home from school with a quarter sandwich. She was saying, “Sorry Mommy ha ito lang ang nadala ko para sa iyo….” (I am sorry Mommy, this is only what I got for you.) I couldn’t help but smile because I could tell that she has been eating it on the way home and saved the quarter portion for me. She’s such a sweetie! She kept herself busy with her dolls and doll furnitures. Some she got from her Tita last weekend and some are bought in Divisoria last year. While we are busy in the kitchen, she was also busy in the living room and since they have no class tomorrow, we let her play outside with the other kids to sweat out excess fats. It’s her reward of being good because we don’t actually let her out of the cage yard to play with the kids on other days. When she saw the kids outside, she went to the gate and they began chatting (a cyclone wire separates them). We do not want her to look like a prisoner so we let her out and she’s like a lion that has escaped from the zoo. :grin:

Not only did we finish one task but we are also able to start another one, that is pulling weeds in the backyard. I just hate rainy days because it makes them grow fast. We have just cleared the area last month and here we go again. Hopefully tomorrow I can get myself to do the laundry.
