Ever went to bed at 1am after drinking 2 cups of coffee so your body was telling you to hit the bed but your brain is telling you to do cartwheels? Yeah, I did that. And all throughout bedtime, I flipped, turned and shook our bed coz my body was tired but my brain wasn’t. So I’ve been nursing a terrible headache all day and because I’ve consumed too much caffeine, my heart is palpitating like nuts. I almost convinced my husband to buy network cable at 1am coz that’s when our wi-fi decided to do a maintenance so our online connection was bad  therefore I couldn’t finish the stuff I was working on while my thoughts were running a mile a minute. He in turn was getting frustrated with Netflix coz he couldn’t find something good to watch. Oh yes, he to had 2 cups of coffee before bedtime as well. We’re always partners in crime and caffeine, apparently.

I knew it would happen to but the stubborn streak won so now I’m paying for it. I’ll try not to drink another cup today since I just finished my second cup of the day. It’s only 4:30pm. I should’ve just stuck to good ‘ol glass of water. At least with water I’ll just be visiting the bathroom to pee every 2 minutes.

And of course, my husband just got me McCafe’s Peppermint Mocha. YUMMY!

So I guess it’s the second game of the World Series tonight? After Yankees lost to Tigers, I’ve stopped paying attention. I was mad when they lost especially after they did so well in game 4. My husband kept telling me it’s ok coz they won in 2009. He’s the bigger Yankees fan than I am and not to mention the one who grew up in New York. So I was like, OK, I’ll get over it, and I did.

But earlier today, while I was in the kitchen cooking dinner and my husband was putting his shoes on coz he was getting ready for his night class, Kate Hudson’s Almay commercial came on. He looked at the TV and said “it’s her fault.”

I was confused. How is anything Kate Hudson’s fault? He explained that it’s because she broke up with ARod that’s why we’re not in the World Series this year. Hahahahahaha! After laughing so hard, I defended my girl Kate. Yup, she knows me and we’re that close (NOT). I informed my husband that it’s not Kate’s fault coz it’s obvious that ARod doesn’t know how to commit, heh! She didn’t have the strong power of a utv power steering to direct him towards the word commitment. Didn’t he just break up with Cameron Diaz too?

My husband refused to give up on the notion. It really is apparently, Kate Hudson’s fault, HaHa! And here I thought we’ve moved on from Baseball this year.

Whenever my husband enjoys our dinner immensely he would say,

“damn that was disgusting I ate all of it”

Sometimes that involves second and third helpings.

Early on, my son would react coz he didn’t get the irony between the empty plate and the word disgusting. It was kinda cute how he would defend me by firmly saying the food is not disgusting and I’m the best cook in the world although it usually takes him 2 hours to finish his dinner. He just doesn’t like it when someone says something bad about my cooking. Father or not.

Anyhooo, last week I made some broiled chicken pieces where the skin got a little bit burnt. Just a little of course, yah know, broiler effect which my husband likes apparently.

My husband told our son after thanking me for a delicious dinner,

“Caine, I hope you find a wife that cooks just as good as your mother.”

And I said oh so surely…

“I hope so coz I’m certainly not cooking for you all your life.”

Of course that was a big fat lie.

I have a habit of saving the fortune cookies messages that we get from eating at any Hibachi restaurant that we’ve been to. My husband actually coined a new name for the fortune cookies. They’re “self-esteem cookies” coz the stuff you’ll find when you break into that famous cookie are very positive and uplifting and nothing at all that would predict your fortune. Things have changed, I guess. The last time I’ve read anything predicting my future was way back in San Diego 14 years ago when Scott and I ate at a Mandarin restaurant. It was actually his fortune cookie where it said, “Today’s something something Is Tomorrow’s Happiness.” I really could not remember what that something something was but I know my husband loved that fortune cookie. If only he was given another cookie to warn him that happiness is accompanied by the proverbial hurdles of marriage but it’s just part of life and things will be alright. Hey, he seems to be ok 14 years into it.

While working on a fashion post yesterday, I scrolled upon this picture of me from a couple of years ago while saving a picture in a folder. I remembered how I loved this particular outfit that day. Floral smocked top cinched with a wide red patent belt, worn over jeans, with my long beaded cross necklace. I thought I was very stylish. So I decided to post it as my Facebook profile. In the back of my mind, someone is going to say I’m fat. If not to my face, at least talk about me with other people I know. Paranoid much? Nahhh, just keepin’ it real.

When the guys went fishing after dinner, then my daughter fell asleep at about 8:30pm, I planted my behind in the couch, turned the laptop on and opened Facebook. I figured I’d chat it up with a few friends in there. Lo and behold, one friend sent me a message saying in Tagalog:

I love Swiffer. I wrote a review of it once in 2010. Even though I use the GRUENE STEAM CLEANER VIDEO REVIEW  to mop and steam  our kitchen floor(tiles), I still keep around Swiffer for the bedroom, and living room floors. And for the times when I just want to do a quick mop in the kitchen. The new Swiffer commercials are silly but funny. There is just something adorably sick watching dirt and grimes turned into speaking humans excitedly clinging into the swiffer pads.

My husband and the son left to go fishing 30 minutes ago so here I was thinking the hubs might be sneaking out to smoke ashton cigars but I guess not. They just got back a  couple of minutes ago. Just in time for me to pop a few kernels of popcorn in my mouth. The girl and I thought we could have a popcorn night without the boys but that’s out of the window coz I just lost my share. My son asked if there were more. Since I’m such a good mother and I know how much he loves popcorn as much as I love pork I gave him my bowl.

He was grateful so I took the opportunity to remind him that I am willing to sacrifice a bowl of popcorn for my first born son but he shouldn’t expect me to sacrifice my life for him. Hubby said it sounded good enough.

My son on the other hand mumbled a few words amidst chewing MY popcorn so I really didn’t understand what he said. Ah yah know, motherhood. It has its perks once in a while .

Because of Facebook, people from my past are popping up every 3 days, requesting to be added in Friend’s list. Truth be told, sometimes I have to dig deeper in my brain to remember who some of the people are. There’s one the other day whom after I accepted his request, sent me a message that made me smirk and roll my eyes at the same time. By the way, I sort of remember who he is.. LOL. Anyhooo, he said I still look pretty even after having 2 kids.

REALLY?? Interestingly enough, he’s a Filipino. I don’t want to open a can of worms but some Filipinos have the tendency to say comments like that. Yah know, complimentary comments with a touch of condescend and unintentional insult. Don’t even get me started on the weight topic… Errrmmmm…

So I decided to make a comparison. Before marriage and after 2 children.
