Saturday 9: Let’s Get Ready to Rumble

1. When was the last time you lost your temper with someone?
–It was last Friday I think.

2. What was it about?
–Not really a big deal, I just hate seeing clutter in the living room and my husband is the culprit. You’d think he’ll be done fixing his RC now but no there’s always something to be added and there’s always boxes here and there.

3. Were you totally right or totally wrong?
–I am always right, always. (lol)

4. If wrong, how long until you realized it? If right, how long until the other person realized it?
–I’m not really one to say sorry but if I do realize the other person has a point then I just won’t say anything to end the discussion.

5. Did you go a lengthy of time without speaking?
–I’m not the type of person who can go very long without talking, especially to my husband.

6. Who made the first move?
–Most of the time we argue about the little things so it’s easy to forget about that. We argue and after a while we talk like we never argued at all.

7. Do you feel the situation is resolved now?
–Yeah, he cleaned up his mess.

8. Do you ever give in, knowing you weren’t wrong, to keep the peace?
–No I don’t give in.

9. Was there permanent damage even though you’ve made up?
–No, we’re married so we resolve our issues and then when it’s over we don’t talk about it anymore (we kiss and make up). When you are living with someone there will always be differences in opinion and the way things are handled around the home. It’s about talking about it and compromises.

Happy Saturday everyone!~

You and Your Mom Are Completely Different

At times, it seems like you and your mom aren’t even related. You often wonder how two people from the same family can be so different. As the saying goes… you can pick your friends, but not your relatives.

Yes, I bought our first set of children’s book when I was pregnant. I would read to the little girl in my tummy when I could.

Well she can’t read yet but she likes flipping her books from page to page. If you look at her you’d think she can read. She can recognize pictures from her books and would tell me what it is. I read to her as long as I got her attention. Reading for me is a fun activity I don’t force her to sit beside me to finish a whole story if she doesn’t want to. I want it to be interactive too, sometimes she’s the one telling the story

Here she is enjoying one of her LeapPad books. We got her this for Christmas and she loves it. She also has boardbooks on all sorts of topics like colors, animals, abc and numbers. We also have storybooks and activity books for her. All the books we got for her are new.

I’m taggina Aggie, Litzie, Mai and Caryl.

The Rules:

The aim of these questions is to share opinions and experiences among moms (or dads) in the blogosphere.

Each week a new question will be posted and I’m inviting mom and dads to answer and share their thoughts about it.

If you are participating, leave your links in the comments section.
Link back to this site inviting other parents to join the fun.
Try to visit the other participants…you will love their answers, that’s for sure.

This week’s question is :  What are your kid’s favorite food?

{END COPY}

Here are our little girl’s favorite…

1. Nilaga. She likes the soup and the pork, the veggies not so much but I’m able to feed her a little.

2. Fried chicken. Whether it is the fried chicken I cook at home or at KFC, basta fried chicken (lol).

3. Fish. Surprisingly she likes fish, fried or with clear soup and veggies.

4. Pancakes. She likes Mcdonald’s pancakes, we have it for breakfast from time to time.

5. Beef wanton noodles.

6. Cakes and ice cream for dessert. This girl has a sweet tooth.

That’s all I can think of right now. She doesn’t eat a lot but I’m so glad she we’re not at the phase where she won’t eat anything.

How about your kids?  Please share.
