I need an energizer, help!
Being a mom is fun and tiring at the same time, especially if you have a "tween" and toddler. Yeah, I have an 8 and 1.8-year-old. They are both energetic and smart kids. They are the reasons why I am not here most of the time anymore. I always feel so tired even before the end of the day lol. I want to stay late at night when they are both asleep but sometimes I just wanna hit the sack with them when I see them in deep slumber. I think it's more fun to be in dreamland after a day's mommy duties.
I posted an article on the 1st of this month about my earnings and I wanna say "thank you" again. I saw my subscribers increase. I now have almost 50 of them and I am happy.
Oh, by the way, I achieved another milestone again! It's a wonderful gift and beginning this month. Here it is:
Congratulations self for the 500 views! You can reach more audiences, just keep on doing what you love doing!
Back to my life...
We have been having issues with my daughter's behavior. She has been punished every day since she committed that "sin". And I told my partner, it might be because she needs more attention and she has to understand the concept of "God". You know, when you are doing something bad when no one is around, you gotta think twice because someone is watching and that is "God". It actually became my anchor from childhood until now. My mother taught me the "holy fear" and it was effective. It has been the compass of my values, my morality. And I should do the same to my child.
I already taught her to pray before eating and at bedtime. I guess we just need consistency. And that she should take it by heart that whatever she does, either good or bad, will definitely get back to her.

I do think that the siblings need to bond. Well, it's my job to play with them but I am tired already, sorry. Saoirse easily gets jealous when her sister gets near me. It is time to teach her that I have her sister to love and take care of as well.
I took the Jollibee toys from the luggage which I kept for so long so they have new toys to play with. I did try to play with them but they didn't want me to, it was like they have their own world so I just took the pic. They played for a few minutes after lunch and then we went inside our room so we can have a nap.
Snack time before sleeping time. Pic is taken from my phone as well.
Our room is occupied by the bed :) They love eating together, I pray that they will love food trips when they get older so we can go out and do it more often. Yeah, they are eating Honeystars while playing. I am tired of carrying Saoirse trying to put her to sleep so I just let her watch Cocomelon until she feels sleepy.
Well, I am happy to tell you folks that Saoirse is now asleep. Thank goodness! And while she is in dreamland, I'm gonna do a lot of stuff like update my Payoneer account so I could finally get my $7 pending payment from Appen. Gosh, it has been pending for a year or two now, seriously. I cannot receive payment from my old Paypal account because it was compromised and it's still connected to Payoneer so I gotta fix it. And I have to download the CCtip wallet on the emulator because it cannot be done through my old "dumb" phone. And I have yet to finish the scholarship exam from For The Women by Accenture, the FlexiQuiz thingy.
I need an energizer, help!
If you are a parent, you gotta do a lot of stuff when your kids are asleep because you got to pause or stop when they are already awake. Try to prioritize them, especially the little ones. I am just glad that my kids have 6 years gap because Bam is not that hard to take care of anymore.
Good afternoon, my dear read.cash friends! I hope everyone is enjoying their weekend. I am happy because it is not that hot today, it is kind of gloomy and I am not super drained.
How are you going? Are you out of town or in the mall spending time with your loved ones? Do comment below on what activities are keeping you busy today or this weekend. I wanna know if you tried a new dish or went to a new place.
I am going out for now. I need some time to rest.
Thank you for being there all the time.
I shall catch up with you later ;)
