I am not fond of watching television shows anymore. After I gave birth it seems like I don’t have the time to sit for thirty minutes without interruptions. I used to watch movies when I was a kid. There were no fancy television sets at the time. In fact the guy who scheduled movie showing every weekend used projector headlights and a white sheet so people can watch the whole movie in detail. The sound was not bad but not good either. But I used to sit through the whole movie with my parents and if we paid enough we watched the second set as well. That was basically 3-4 hours and I could not seem to get enough. Not so anymore. My attention span has become like that of the little man. Make me sit for a few minutes and I will be thinking of other things I have to do. The husband diagnosed me with ADHD. He said I probably had it when I was a kid and never knew it. I used to think he is crazy but sometimes I have second thoughts. I don’t know.

Somebody is very sleepy but refuses to sleep. He is here trying to annoy me with his whining. I can’t say it is his fault since he did sleep earlier while we were in the car but woke up when his father got out of the car to do something. That was three hours ago and he has been acting like a brat ever since. I hate it when the little man starts being annoying to a point where I feel stressed. We will try to go to bed now and see if he will settle down. Hopefully he is ready because I do not have the energy to deal with another bout of screaming and kicking. Wish me luck

The little man has a weird fixation on area rugs. I am not kidding. He loves to play with it. He either rolls one and play with it like he does his blankies or he lays on it like a little cat. The husband noticed it too and he said his son is crazy in a cute kind of way, lol. We don’t know why he likes to play with area rugs but he does this not only when he is at home but also when we visit other homes with area rugs. I guess he is drawn to the designs. That is why I make sure the area rugs we have are kept clean. I would hate to see him rub his face on one which has not been washed prior.

When I was single I applied for jobs on basically every company that posted an ad which I qualified for. Heck, I even applied for those I was over and under qualified in hopes of getting a job. When you are a fresh graduate you have high hopes and aspirations but a couple months in the prowl and you will not be picky. Trust me, I know. Anyway, I did apply for most engineering works but I did not get qualified save for a food manufacturing company working as quality assurance inspector. The reason was the companies mostly required the applicants be proficient in cad drawing among other things. I was advised by a friend to do it but I was too stubborn busy looking for jobs and I did not have the money to spare for anything but food and fare. It cost me a lot of jobs and frustrations until I finally found a job and stayed in it for a while. I know that in order for me to find a better job I have to be proficient and has to have trainings and certifications on other things as well. Which means I need to catch up since it has been years when I last work and I am really behind on a lot of things.

We are going out in a little while. Where to we do not know yet. The husband is not telling or maybe he does not know either, lol. I want to have breakfast at Waffle House with my favorite hash browns and chili. It’s been a long time since we went there to eat and I miss their food so bad. If I can only convince the husband to go there I will be very happy. Even if it means having to suffer with heartburn, lol. Anyway, enough of this cravings, we have to go. See you all later.

The little man is interested on reading. One syllable words he finds easy to read but he can also read words with three syllables. We know where he learned to read and we hope he will continue to do good in reading and maybe comprehension as well as time goes by. His father is specially proud that he tells everybody who is interested enough to listen about his youngest son’s accomplishment. It is heartwarming to listen to your child read. He cannot read words such as mesothelioma yet but we know it will happen one day. He can read store names when he sees receipts though He arranges his alphabet blocks to form words which he remembers from his game. We noticed we only have to say a word or a name once and he remembers it and the next time he sees that particular word he can tell you what it is. If he keeps on learning like this it may be easier for him to learn when he goes to school.

The carpet is littered with deadly wood blocks. They are everywhere that if one does not look where he is going he will end up hurt. The little man was in a mood today and he wanted chaos and so he did what he could do to make it that way. I was cooking so I did not notice right away. When I glanced at the living room it was a headache inducing mess. The husband was smart enough not to move from the couch and told his son to help me pick up the blocks. Miraculously, he did! He even picked up every block there was on the floor while I cheered him on. Somebody has to keep him going, you know The blocks are in their bags right now and I hope they stay there until tomorrow, at least. He seem to have forgotten about them. He is here teaching his father an online game of ice breaker. I am spared for now since I did help him earlier and won him a few thousand points. I don’t think it will last long though. I will give them three minutes tops and one will be frustrated with the other. It is always like that with my boys, neither has the patience to keep the peace for long.

The husband is gaining weight. He was down ten pounds when he got sick but he regained that and continues to gain more weight. He makes fun of himself but when I say something to him about his weight gain he takes offense. I understand him though. I may make fun of myself but when I hear a comment about how much weight I gained I feel bad too. I plan (again!) to work on mine by taking the best diet supplements and doing some workout. Perhaps the mile walk DVD will do wonders for me if I stick to it for weeks. Sadly he can’t do neither. He is taking medications and he is not in a good shape so all he can do is pretty much minimize his food intake. I should do this too. I don’t know what to do with myself anymore. My mind is strong but my determination is not. Hence the need for the diet pill supplement. I will be the happiest person on earth if I can make a post here one day saying I achieved the desired weight I have been aiming for all these years.
