~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ That's what I should be doing but I feel so lethargic. Ugh! I’ve been sitting here just surfing the same sites online over and over again. I need to get off here and start doing something productive but I just can’t seem to muster the willpower to do so. Help! The little one is sitting in front of me right now cutting up some papers as usual. She’s asking me when she can do a search on Braille. Yep, Braille. She saw the braille exit signs at her pediatrician’s clinic last time we were there and she got curious about the 'dots' and started quizzing us about them. We told her she can search online as to what Braille is all about since we have limited knowledge about it as well. But Mom is busy searching for something else so she has to wait her turn. Tomorrow will be another busy day out for us. I have to get some blood work done while the little one will get her shots. Not fun at all but it has to be done now while hubby is not busy at work...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ So why am I “afraid” to drive? That’s basically the 6-million dollar question I get everytime I tell people I don’t drive…yet…after almost 8 years of being here in the US. My answer is I’m not afraid of the driving itself. Well, maybe just a little. What's my bigger fear then? Getting L-O-S-T!!! I think only my husband and those people I’ve been in a car with know that my sense of direction is not the best. How bad? I remember riding with the directress of a school I used to work for. The two of us were going to visit another school. She was driving and I was on the passenger’s seat of course. She asked me to remember the directions and take notes of the signs [yep, like that exit sign on the freeway]. Guess what? I wasn’t able to do that. I thought she was going to fire me after that trip...LOL. Fortunately, my teaching is much better than my sense of direction so I managed to keep my job. So how bad is my sense of direction when I'm no...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Instead of having a small party at home like last year, we celebrated the little one’s birthday by going to the movie and eating out. We had the usual ice cream & cake the night before because we wanted to surprise her. She’s always excited about birthdays so we wanted her to be surprised as much as possible even if it’s a simple cake & ice cream only. We got her most of the gifts she wanted so she’s a happy camper. She’s been playing with them non-stop. Anyway, our movie date was just the second time she’s been in a movie theater so she’s very much curious still as to the comings and goings of the place. She sees everything from the people that are watching to the numerous Exit Signs found in the theater. I had to remind her not to talk once the movie started…and she tried not to so I’m proud of her for being able to hold her mouth. After the movie we went to the restaurant near the movie house. The birthday girl was of course giddy because she...

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have so many things to do for the next few weeks to come. I am busy packing for our big move soon. Aside from that, we have to sell this house we live in right now so as not to burden us with its mortgage and other expenses related to keeping 2 houses at the same time. My husband already bought a For Sale sign but we also want to get some Magnetic Signs that we can use to advertise that it’s for sale. That way we can put them in the car, or in his place of business for more exposure. I am also busy looking for stuff for the new house so when we finally move, we have the basic necessities. As a result, I am now doing 5 or more things at the same time. I just hope I won’t get these things mixed or I may end up selling all these boxes I am packing instead of the house. Ha!
