Mom.
How’s your new year coming along? Thought I’d be different this year and not make any resolutions that I’m bound to break and/or not even follow through with. Who am I kidding anyways? I’ve broken so many resolutions in the past — why state them? JUST DO IT. But even that sometimes is easier said than done. I rest my case.
My mom is in Manila right now (accompanying my uncle who went and did some medical checkups such as a colon cleanse) and will only be back at the end of February. Our home is so much more quieter without her — she doesn’t live with us but she is only a few doors away so I miss her loud voice coming through the door when Erynne’s napping and I have to tell her to keep it down. Or when she’s taking calls on her cell and she’s talking so loud, I’m not sure if she wants the neighbors to hear her or not. Little things, ya know? She’s probably so bored out of her mind as I type this. If there’s one thing you must know about my mom, she can’t sit still. She HAS to be doing something ALL.THE.TIME. As in some type of work — whether that’s around the house, the garden, a project, her business, the grocery, paperwork, etc. Her idea of relaxing, I believe, is working. (Imagine what she must think of me for being a SAHM, ha!). But for what it’s worth, I hope that she’s at some nice, posh salon right now as I type this, doing her nails, her hair and getting a lovely body massage and shopping the day away. My mom needs to learn how to play hard. FOR REALS.
Hee, bet she’s missing me too
