It's been a while, I know.
Life happened. It's a long story. Boring stuff. Let's just skip it.
Fast forward to 2020. We're in the middle of a pandemic. We're okay. I hope you're okay. And yes, it's not a joke. We're taking it seriously and we're taking all necessary precautions.
It's been a hectic several years. For a while, I lost my desire to blog. I don't know why. One day I just did not feel like blogging anymore. Life got so busy and I had to focus on the boys. But now that we're in quarantine and at home, I suppose there's nothing stopping me from blogging again, right?
Our baby is now 10 years old. Can you believe it? He's in Grade 4 and Nikki is in Grade 12! Graduating soon! My babies! Ethan is still homeschooling and just loving his art activities. My sweetie is working from home and for a while, it was quite an adjustment, but it's nice having him home all the time. He gets to be with the boys 24/7 (even if it drives him nuts sometimes) and can interact with them often. Although we're on quarantine, I seem to have my hands full all the time. From cooking meals to keeping the house clean and helping Enzo and Ethan with lessons, there's still not enough hours in a day to accomplish much. I suppose a mom's schedule doesn't change.
School started last August. That's a two-month delay in case you are not from the Philippines and don't have an idea when classes usually begin here (although some universities have already moved their opening of classes to July/August). Adjustment has been huge. Online classes worry me, not for the grading system, but for the screen time. But I will reserve my concerns for another post.
After almost 3 months, Enzo seems to be adjusting nicely. He is most concerned about recitations because he is shy and afraid of making mistakes. So I tell him to just do his best and I will be proud of him whatever the outcome.
I worry about Nikki's college entrance tests. How will we accomplish those? When will the schedule be? How will we be able to get his documents and forms from his current school? So many questions...
I don't know how many more months of quarantine we will have to endure. It's definitely trying, I'm not going to lie. Last April I was in such a funk I couldn't even recognize myself. My sister said it was because of staying cooped up for weeks. I don't know. I was so cranky and moody (no, it wasn't my period) and I wanted to be alone all the time. It was so weird. Thankfully, I got out of that funk and yes, we are thriving.
Will I continue blogging? Yes. Will it be soon? Hopefully. I always liked writing (or typing) down my thoughts and I suppose I shouldn't stop now. So yes, I will write again and I will be seeing you soon. :)
