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.

Grateful - March 30

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!

Palm Sunday 2021

This year, because of the pandemic, we were not allowed to go on Visita Iglesia, not even to visit a single church to reflect on the stations of the cross. One of the thoughts that keep crossing my mind is that the responsibility of teaching you is now more evidently placed on me. Especially since all your classes are online and there is limited catholic school activities that teaches you about the faith.

So on Palm Sunday 2021, we set up our own modest stations of the cross. I let you read through all 14 stations. Then at the end of it, you said a short prayer thanking God for his sacrifices for us.

We also attended mass online. Thank God one of our neighbors offered to share their palm fronds so we were still able to make our palaspas.

All in all, it was a good celeberation. We agreed to watch Prince of Egypt (my childhood version was The Ten Commandments, but you might appreciate the animated version better 🙂) and The Passion of Christ (so we are reminded of Jesus' suffering for us).

I hope Mama and Dad instills in you the love of God. 😘
