JUNE 2015

June, please be good to me.

I think June 2015, or the whole year 2015, is a period of transition for me.

... Re-org at work resulting to my office's shutdown with an option to transfer to the company's plant.  I am not finding the company's plant an option.

... Helpers on vacation leave.  Not sure who's coming back.  June 1 and I don't have a helper.  School starts in a week.  So good luck naman.  I really have to adjust my sleeping schedule so I can cook breakfast, baon, lunch and dinner.  Good thing though our college kids will start school in August.  So they are a big help especially in looking after the little kids.  May be hard at first but I can do this.

... Career opportunities.  Starting to explore.  Let's see what the future holds. 

These transitions make me uneasy.  It's really moving me out of my comfort zone.  But I hold firmly to this:  IF GOD PUTS YOU TO IT, HE WILL PULL YOU THROUGH IT.

So June, please be good to me.  Great even.  

Holy Spirit and Mama Mary, guide me as I go through these transitions.

Amen.

THIS IS IT, NATHAN! :)

Dear Nathan,

Mommy finally submitted your Nursery application form to the big school and you are having your entrance exams on Feb 22, 2014 :)  Do great my little gremlin!  You will be one real school boy starting school year 2014-2015!

Actually, Mommy is excited for you and at the same time a little anxious.  Mommy would like you to stay one more year at Kids Discovery Corner because there the teachers will really have the time to help you improve your skills (writing and reading).  But Daddy and I talked about it (even your Ate Naomi) and they believe that you can do it in the big school.  Don't get me wrong my little gremlin.  Sigurista lang si Mommy.  When your sister entered the big school she was well prepared and knew how to write her name.  I just would like you to be as prepared as Ate Naomi.  Right now, you are in the developing stage and is starting to learn the alphabet, the numbers, and even writing basic lines and coloring.  Oh well, Mommy just have to trust your own strength.  Besides, it is really in school where you are expected to learn and master these skills.  I guess, I just have to erase that thinking that you should know all these basics even before you enter the big school.

I just wish you well my baby, este, big boy.  More than learning, I want you to enjoy school and learn to build healthy relationships.  For the meantime, medyo cramming lang tayo ha.  Let's practice your alphabet, numbers, and writing in preparation for Feb 22.  Most of all, lets PRAY!!! Hahahaha :D

On another note, here is your assessment for the 2nd sem of school year 2013-2014.  Good job for you, my adorable gremlin!  And yes, you are the king of pretend play.  You are just one funny kid.

I will love and support you all the way, my gremlin,

Mommy <3
