My Comfort Zone

Lately, I am finding myself heading to my computer when I feel stressed or just want a break and get away from everything. Is that weird or what? I feel like my comfort zone (as of lately) is my computer. Even if I don't exactly need to do anything. I'd try to check emails, check blogs, surf the net or write a post (like I am doing right now!). I do however, DO a lot of work on my computer -- mainly for work, and I do a lot of banking online, my accounting is done thru the computer with my accounting software, I do most of my shopping online, etc.

I can't exactly get out of the house and drive somewhere because I don't have my own vehicle. And besides, I don't really feel like driving especially when I am stressed.

So right now... my computer will do fine and keep me company.

Today I am feeling exhausted. I guess that is part of being a Mom to 2 very active and inquisitive kids. Aside from being a stay-at-home-mom, having a part-time job can be quite taxing. Not to mention all the household chores that comes with being a wife and the Woman-of-the-House.

I was able to get a couple loads of laundry done, folded but not put away yet! Actually, I have a basket of laundry sitting beside me as I type in hopes that I fold while surfing the net and chatting to some friends and family online.

Sometimes, the pressures of running a household can get overwhelming. It feels like you keep working, but your work never gets done. This is so true with having 2 kids. You clean one room, and then as soon as you get to the next, the room you just cleaned is a mess again. Well, I'm not complaining... I love that fact of having kids and the fact that they are happy, healthy and active. They are pretty good with keeping their toys away (if and when you tell them). It doesn't happen automatically yet. But we're working on it. They're still too young to get the concept yet, I think.

I feel at a loss right now, my oldest is 2 years and I am wondering... should he be knowing his alphabet's by sight and know how to at least write them? When do kids usually learn to do those? I guess it is just because I hear from some mom's that they did those with their kids and that their kids knows how to read and write their ABC's at 2. Well, to be truthful... I really haven't worked with him on that as much as I want to. Is it generally true that boys have a shorter span of attention? It sometimes frustrates me when we play "school" that I cannot keep him interested in what I am trying to show or teach him for more than 10 minutes. I feel such an insufficient mom sometimes.

But well... I can always be better. They say, the biggest room for change is improvement (or something like that). So, I guess I will just have to keep trying.

ChoiceFilets.com : This one is sure to make you Salivate

It's rare that I come across a website that actually makes me salivate, but today I came across one that had a great design and very delicious imagery. Being a designer myself, I definitely could appreciate the great use of colors and imagery. It made me hungry just looking at it.

If you are looking for great steaks, smoked meats, delicious desserts and appetizers, and so much more, this is the site to go. I just made my first purchase today and can't wait to get it. I will come back to rate and comment on the quality of food they have.

Jun 27 -- Friday's Feast

Appetizer

What is the weather like today where you live?

It was a lil' warm earlier this morning, but then towards the afternoon it rained... hard. It is still in the 70's tonight, though.

Soup

On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being highest, how career-minded are you?

I should say a low 2. Even though, I own 2 businesses (together with my husband), I am so very much inclined in being a SAHM. I never was into the 'go out into the world and compete career-wise'. SAHM and running/owning your own lil' business works for me.

Salad

What type of window coverings do you have in your home? Blinds, curtains, shutters, etc.?

I have both blinds and curtains.

Main Course

Name something that instantly cheers you up.

My kids coming up to me unexpectedly just to give me a hug or kiss. Or a nice cup of hot chocolate drink. A phone call from home.

Dessert

How many times do you hit the snooze button on a typical morning?

My hubby does (at least 5 times). I usually don't get up (even with the annoying alarm going off) unless the kids wake me up and sometimes if I am lucky, I can get them to lay with me in bed for a couple more minutes.

Friday's Feast

Appetizer

If you could live on another continent for 1 year, which one would you choose?

I think I would choose Europe. There are a lot of places in Europe that I would love to visit, and from pictures and talks from people that have been there, it is gorgeous.

Soup

Which browser do you use to surf the Internet?

Mozilla Firefox

Salad

On a scale of 1-10 (with 10 being highest), how much do you know about the history of your country?

About 7, 8... don't exactly remember dates or places.

Main Course

Finish this sentence: Love is…

a many splendored thing

Dessert

Have you ever been in or near a tornado?

Thankfully, no.
