Caroleen’s Treasures

and hopefully will be the last. It happened yesterday morning and I feel so bad for him but before you freak out (like what Ella did) he’s okay now and he’s back to his old self. When we woke up yesterday, we stayed in bed longer to breastfeed. When he had enough I put him in his playpen, gave him toys and made our bed. Suddenly I heard a cry that sounded like he was hurt.  He’s just at my back so I immediately checked on him and I saw a yellow and black thing smeared on his mouth. I knew it right away, it’s a bee!

So I was in panic (what can you expect from me?) but I managed to keep calm. Ella was the one who was in real shock. I carried Eman right away and checked first his mouth because I suspect he attempted to ate it. He did. That bee was already in “coma” after Donald sprayed the night before. I don’t know where these bees come from but we have occasional visits from them. So we have a water-based insect spray ready each time they show up. I usually squeeze each of them with my slipper when they drop from the air and I didn’t know there was one that landed in the playpen. Apparently the little guy saw it and thought it’s delicious. The bee can still move and can still sting even when it’s almost dead or even when its head has came off. I carefully removed the sting and tried to make him feel comfortable by giving Paracetamol. Ella was like, “Mommy! Anong nangyari kay ading? Bakit ang laki ng space?!!!!!!!!” (Mommy what happened to my little brother? Why the space is so big?). That made me laugh. Read more… »

I received my first payment from OHJ today. Makes me want to work 24 hours a day Ella’s first monthly exam was this morning and she said it was easy When kids say this, I don’t believe them until I saw their papers I hope she got high scores on both if not perfect. Last year was more difficult for us to study because of the tv. Yesterday when she arrived from school, she begged for us to study which is so strange. She never do that last year. So I told her I will cover her books first before we will study. It was her fist time to bring home her books. They just use it in school and aren’t brought home. Like last year in the city, books are left at school too because kids forgot to bring their books the following day.

I was called for back up at half past 11 in the morning when I only had 4 hours of sleep from my coding last night. After I logged out at past 3 in the afternoon, I napped until it was almost dark. Since I received my first earning and we are so lazy to cook, we dine at Resto in the market. The best in town. We tried dining at two barbeque places here but I am not satisfied. Maybe I am just used to barbeques and roasted chicken in my hometown which I am dying to have as well as Donald.

My bee sting is getting worst when I sit and stand. Does the gravity makes it even worst??? My elbow and the joint in my shoulder and upper arm hurts so much. Hope the tylenol can make it better. I just hate taking those big pills!!!! Plus the vitamins I am taking that as huge as Tylenol…I feel like throwing up with all the water I drank just to swallow those pills. Why can’t they make smaller pills anyway? Like those of the medicine I took when I had typhoid fever…those tiny, easy-swallow ones that doesn’t make me hate being sick. Oh well, maybe the bigger the better.

I hope I can have some sleep before I’d be called for OHJ tonight. Bye for now! See yah when I see yah!
