... and more!

Well I guess I had too many words of wisdom regarding work so I ended up so mixed up, so workaholic like this. 

My body is telling me I'm working much but my head is telling it's not enough.

Sometimes I think my pregnancy is really slowing me down.

Sometimes I think my pregnancy is an opportunity for me to take rest.

I feel tired...

I feel emotional...

Maybe this is what we call the "Pregnant brain" in me...

Or maybe this is what I really feel....

Should I let students stay at home for an over night thesis break loose?

Or should I just let my body lay in bed and rest?

Am I working too hard for the baby?

Or am I just being lazy?

What does it take for me to become a teacher?

I need a break.

Baby In My Oven

Yup! You read it soooo right. I'm going 2 months preggers and so into the life of being a mother.

My trimester has been very light. No vomiting nor dizziness, and I thank God for giving me such a silent child in my tummy. He/she has not given me any pregnancy problems and so I'm still able to provide to my daily busy schedule.

I've been taking my prenatal vitamins and I look forward for a healthy baby inside my tummy after 2 weeks.

Honestly, the idea of being a mother has not really sunk in my mind now, but as I realize life everyday with a baby inside of me, I'm beginning to tell myself that I now live not just for myself anymore.

And that what makes life even more wonderful. :)

2012 Needs and Wants List

New life, new hope, new beginning, new us.

Every January, people have this usual war with themselves about the things that they want to have for a year.

So what do I want to achieve this year? 

1.) Save money as much as I can!!! Since all my life, I've been spending for my family.

2.) Get over my thesis presentation

3.) Start programming ADA

4.) Have a baby

New year resolution?

...Um, treat myself better? and make extra effort to doll up. :)

There's so much that I want to achieve. So much that I want to do. I wonder if having a baby will win over the 3 other priorities. Maybe having a baby will trash my other priorities. What will happen to us? And if we will not have a baby this year, will it be easy for us to have a it next year?

I'm really in doubt if I can do all of this for a year. But I'm keeping my fingers crossed and hoping for miracles to continue dropping from the heavens because I need that. 

Overall, I want to make my life better! I don't want to work my butt every Monday to Sunday straight for the rest of my life! I want 2013 to be a year of rest for me and Joey. I want to have a less stressful life. I want more time to myself and Joey. 

I want to enjoy life!

But I know that I will not achieve that if I will not finish the battle I've started. I should triumph over that MIT!!!! Grrrr!!! 

So I better grab myself and hope for everyone to understand my schedule. 

I thank God for a very supportive family, a very loving husband and understanding students.

What I need is TIME!!!! 

Wish me luck!
