Caroleen’s Treasures

Wow, I can’t believe I am still awake! I was about to just call it a night but the massage was so good it awakened my nerves. I am just sooooooo lucky to have a private masseur and hubby in one. So we all went downtown to meet Melody, the lady who ordered the cloth diapers and baby sling. Last night, Donald was working on the computer while waiting for me to get it all done. If not because of Eman who called to eat at 4am, I could have not gone to bed. By 8am he was up and about and was crawling over me to reach for her sleeping big sister. I was still really sleepy and my eyes are still half shut but I am holding him so he won’t hit his head on the wall or fell on the floor. When you are breastfeeding, your baby at this age can conveniently feed himself even if you are asleep. Yes Eman has already mastered that and he also woke me by a sharp pain by his gums clenching on my nipple. I almost shouted with pain when he did that but I don’t have the energy to do that so I just pulled him from my breast and next thing I knew is he was on my other breast and was squeezing it. Yes, he always do that lately. I don’t know how in the earth did a 7-month-old baby learned that milk will come out if he squeeze my breast. And when I say squeeze, he does it in a manner like he’s milking a cow. LOL That moment I am ready to open my eyes and when I did I saw his face so close to me and was closing his eyes and moving his face in circular motion like he’s in a trance. He’s doing it like how you close your eyes when you spray water on your face, the only difference is that he is spraying milk on his face! I caught him still mesmerizing the milk spurt and who could not laugh at that site. He was so cute especially when he stuck his tongue out and tried licking the milk. hahahahaha! I know it sounds gross to some but to me it’s so funny. Really.

After we met Melody at SM food court, we packed in a lavender taxi (Yeah we have that here! It seem more fun to ride it than the whites and yellow cabs) and headed to the store in Uyanguren where I am getting my fabric from. But before we got there, we handed the Fisher Price baby monitor to the guy who sealed a deal to get it. Thanks Davaosale! I wanted to keep it but we can’t use it here because the house is small and we are constantly together. That is what makes Filipinos have a close family ties because of small place. LOL So from there, we headed to the fabric store where I bought materials again from the money that was paid by Melody. I was planning to put back all the capital back to the business. Like keeping only the profit for our food allowance but I miscalculated and spent a little more for the materials. It’s fine though, at least I made my little business grow a little by adding a little to the inventory.

We went back to SM for dinner as I owe my family a dinner treat for being so understanding and helpful while I work on the order. I let Donald decide and he so wanted to eat Hawaiian pizza so we went there. He said he is not hungry but he finished one whole medium pizza! If he is hungry, he could gobble a whole family pizza!  Ella had chicken and rice only (see she’s is not so hungry since she have eaten a whole siopao while I am shopping for fabric). That is why I insisted on having dinner early because I am the one paying and I could spend a lot more if they are hungry. LOL I ordered spaghetti with chicken but didn’t touch the chicken. Saved it for whoever will look for food tonight. We need to get food for the little guy too because he is on solid food thrice a day per the doctor’s order. Since Greenwhich didn’t have anything that Eman can have, we sent Ella to KFC to get him mashed potato with gravy. You should see him eat. He can convince anyone that mashed potato is great even if they don’t like it.  So this is where the money I made from the cloth diapers and baby slings went. I guess I will be saving for appetite suppressant from my earnings so I can save. LOL
