Gimme A Break

My sister-in-law is a nurse and she works really long hours. It amazes me how she handled raising two kids and working the midnight shift year after year. It must really be tough to be up tending to two kids in the day and then having to go to work at night.

It’s a wonder she doesn’t have eyebags the size of refrigerators! One day, I just couldn’t bear it any more and decided to ask her what’s her secret for looking so fresh even with so little sleep.

Well, apparently nurses have a beauty regime that really perks them up. One of their beauty secrets is to always remove their makeup before they go to bed, no matter how tired they are. Moisturizing is another important beauty regime to keep their skin from looking and feeling worn.

And of course, when they finally do hit the bed, they make it a point to sleep right so they wake up fresher and ready to take on the world. She says I can get all these beauty tips from Scrubs which is an online magazine that she and her fellow nurses are avid fans of.

I dare say we busy moms could use beauty and makeup tips like that. I mean, isn’t our job equally stressful and taxing at times even though we’re only dealing with our kids ?

I deliberated for quite a while before I upgraded this blog to WP2.8.1. I hesitated because I’d read a few horror stories about the upgrade messed up some blogs using older themes.

Wouldn’t you know it? Well, no, my theme didn’t break, thank goodness but about two days after I upgraded to 2.8.1, WP2.8.2 came out and I had to do another upgrade! Sheesh! I’m just glad I got it done though .

TGIF. I’m all done with my groceries. These days, I do my groceries ahead of the weekend. I don’t like the idea of being caught in crowds of people who think nothing about sneezing and coughing in people’s faces. So I try to get that out of the way early.

I’m cooking a lot more which means I’m pretty tired during the week. We’re down to only eating one or two meals out during the weekends if we happen to be out. Our homecooked meals are getting simpler because I’m just too tired to cook up a storm since we eat in much more now. But hey, it saves money and the stress of going to crowded places in light of this flu pandemic thingey.

I’m really running behind here. Been extremely busy and chucking lots of things to the backburner. The kids have been in and out of school. Basically whenever I hear about someone at school having the sniffles, I’d pull my kids out for a day or two while I contemplate the situation.

It’s terrible but this is what happens when some parents insist on sending their sick kids to school even when there’s all these warnings to stay home if they have the flu. Frankly we don’t know what kind of flu they’ve got so it’s kinda scary.

When the kids get back from school, I pretty much disinfected as much of their stuff as I can. Yeah, it’s crazy. And I know some people think I’m crazy for being so OCD about it. But hey, I think it’s better to be safe than sorry.
