April 1

Today I start the day grateful -- 

1. For a restful sleep

2. For (although it was a difficult workday yesterday), I am more hopeful today

3. For the opportunity to have a leisure day, regardless if I want to do "work" stuff like trim nails, answer email, pay bills, etc -- basta leisurely

I hope I feel better today than yesterday. I know spending time with you will do just that. 😍

how am I

I feel like I do nothing but work this week. I wake up, I start work, then I feel sleepy immediately after logging out of work ☹ is this another symptom of depression?

It makes me feel guilty that I don't spend time with you. 

This is the last day of the work week because of Lent. I hope I will be able to make it up to you guys.

So maybe what I am thankful for are --

1. Working and surviving the week

2. Understanding kids and husband

3. Company's bonus, despite it being small, at least we were still able to receive.

1. Fasting Blood Sugar of 99!! Looks like I'm on the right track when it comes to my medicine and food. :) Just need to be consistent with the exercising.

2. Upcoming Officer's Performance Bonus. Knowing that this is coming makes me excited and giddy. I hope it is enough for my planned expenses -- payment for the house, a ring, etc.

There is no #3. Yesterday was difficult for me. I was uninspired to work. I was mentally just going over my list of tasks without doing anything really significant. I was also sleepy when we were saying the rosary. I fell asleep right after. Woke up when daddy came in the room. Watched one of my episodes, then fell asleep again. Then this morning, I'm having a hard time thinking of things that made me happy.

Guys, mom's not perfect and I do get these days sometimes. I want you to know that when you do get these days, I will always have your back. I can cook for you, clean for you, cuddle you -- do everything until you feel better. Because mom loves you no matter what, even when things are not okay. (That's just me -- imagine how much your Father in Heaven loves you, which is so so much more than mom 😉)

I love you!

Grateful - March 29

1. Us celebrating Palm Sunday (details in another post)

2. Your shirts that dad and I made together 😍 I got the design and weeded, he ironed on the shirt.

3. Me realizing that every weekend, I trim your nails and clean your ears. And I am grateful that I have time for that. It's that one time in a week that I get to touch you individually, and serve you. One day, you will learn to do this on your own. My wish is that you won't forget the times I did it for you.

Love you guys!!
