I heard the alarm went off earlier and was still very sleepy to wake up Donald. It’s the first day of the week and Ella is suppose to be at school. I feel guilty sending her off the school in such weather and yet I feel even more guilty of letting her miss another day at school. When Donald told me that the teacher sent a text message earlier informing us that there would be no class until Wednesday because her MIL died, I felt better. Not because of the MIL’s death but because Ella could spend three days at home. It’s been raining endlessly and the neighbor’s are now flooded. Glad that we have higher grounds here because I do not know what to do with floodwater coming inside the house.

Because it is raining, we just lazed around the house. I did some uploading of photos to my friendster. The ones from yesterday’s trip to the pool. I have yet to upload photos taken in Davao and my hometown because my cousin is bugging me about it so she could grab some. Ella just spent the day watching Barney. When Donald went out this morning to pay bills, I asked him to buy me caldereta for lunch. Also some sweet apples (I think it’s now my favorite), cans of milk and a dozen eggs which I made into a leche flan. I don’t know why I am craving for some particular food when I am in my third trimester already. :roll:

In the evening, after dinner, Donald and I are lying in bed watching TV while she was silently drawing something in her table. I heard her move something. I think it’s a chair. Then suddenly there was a faint cry. Donald and I rushed to see what’s happening and she emerged from the living room crying. She was cupping her right cheek. I held her close to me and checked where’s hurting. She has some holes on her molars now but she’s pointing to her gums. I think there would be a new tooth coming out next to the last tooth on the right. After scaring us, she made me laugh when she said, “Lord, tanggalin mo ang sakit please….” (Lord, please take the pain away…). I found it so cute because in the middle of the throbbing pain, she still remembers to pray. :-) Not all could do that and I know it because when I get migraine attacks, I get so overwhelmed with pain and just thinking about painkillers and not about the power of prayer. How I wish I have faith as big as Ella. :-) We gave her pain killer (we have a bottle of Ponstan for kids that was bought when she had her first issue with her gums months back) and it did work fast because in a few moments, Ella was up and about thanking God for taking the pain away. :-)
