First of all, I miss being spoiled by my family again, which was something I never wanted a few short years ago. I should have never taken it for granted when I had it.
I miss the chore-free days when I was home. I actually had times to do things that I enjoyed doing. I could actually wash my hair every single day and groom myself!!!
I miss sleeping in... when I didn't have to get up to tend to a crying, hungry baby. *sigh*
I miss the breakfast, lunch and dinner time when I didn't have to COOK! If I could turn back the time, I would very much do so.
I miss going to school and work at the same time, believe it or not. It's just I can't imagine doing them now while I also have to be a mom and a wife. It would kill me.
I miss feeling special and young and pretty and skinny without the loose boobies and tummy... I didn't have to worry about what tops to put on without having to show off the bulky parts.
*sigh* if it wasn't for piggy... I would probably still far away from marriage life, motherhood and... last but not least... Syracuse.

Even though I am with him all the time, it's still amazing how I can see him grow bigger and bigger each day. Piggy got Daddy to sleep with him last night (by crying at midnight while I was pretending to be asleep *grin*). By the way, he is very good at taking advantage of Daddy *wink*. The next morning, as I was trying to move piggy back to his crib, I was stunned by how tall and big he has become. I actually had to think for a few second, a good way of picking him up without waking him or breaking my own back.
I am thankful how he is growing bigger and is healthy but... I kind of miss it when he was smaller.
He is getting too fast and smart for me.

I don't think I'm crazy (just yet). But last night when I accidentally burned my hand on the opened oven door, for a second I thought I could understand those people who would inflict pain upon themselves for attention. Well, that's because after I gave out a painful cry, Daddy would come over to take a look, and then he even put some Aquaphor on my poor, burned hand. I'm afraid to say, but I actually felt good about it. It doesn't really hurt at all, I thought. Isn't it scary?
Well, what can I say, I guess I have been quite neglected lately. Daddy has been working too hard. And, I have been working too hard. I need to take good care of myself. Because I'm worth it.

I've got a new problem. I can't sit on the couch in peace anymore! Gosh, piggy learned to climb onto it a few days ago and he started to bounce on it earlier. I sure hope he is not going to jump off the couch any time soon. *sigh* Never underestimate a growing toddler, right?
I finally finished watching the 2007 Worlds earlier. It was actually very exciting. Much more interesting than the 2006. I didn't even bother watching it last year. It was unpredictable but worth watching. If anyone needs the tape, just call me. ^_^

Why do I like to watch Figure Skating?

I don't exactly know why. I guess my mom got me hooked 10 years ago. She had this stash of recorded figure skating events back in Kristi Yamaguchi time. It was just great. I still remember how I rushed back to my apartment to watch it when I was in college, my friends (well, guy friends) would go, "eww, that's gay!". I got pretty offended when one of them told me that figure skating wasn't a real sport. Geez, I thought I was about to choke him. What can I say, I love the sport though I don't even know how to roller blade.
I just spent 3.5 hours recording and cutting out the commercials of the 2007 Worlds. I thought it was a waste of time because I probably won't watch the tape again anyway. But, I just couldn't stop. My eyes were glued to the TV. I wonder if I were influencing piggy.. because he started to dance to some of the routines, he would even imitate the spins and arm movements. It was pretty funny.
I took piggy to the St. Joseph hospital for a blood test today. The place was under a major construction. The new part looked pretty good. This lab person is a pretty tall and big African American guy. He has this huge braided hair too. Piggy just couldn't stop staring at him. When it was our turn, piggy started to scream and cried because the guy approached us. He wasn't even poked yet! Piggy just couldn't stop crying and kicking me. I had to hold him down hard and the lab guy had hard time finding the vein in his tiny arms. Therefore, poor piggy got poked twice. The rewarding sticker didn't even comfort him. Ha-ha. Poor thing, he fell asleep as soon as we got in the car, probably tired of crying. I love him too much.

Why are toddlers so curious about the trash can? It's not exactly pretty or sweet smelling. It's not soft to touch or colorful. It doesn't move or make any sound either. So, why is it so attractive?
Piggy has been attacking the trash for the past month. It's like a battle between me and him, seeing who is more alert and fast. Not until today that he finally beats me to it. This morning, I was washing my hands after changing his diaper. He disappeared for a few minutes. I thought he was playing with his toys in the living room, but, it was awfully quiet. "Something is not right," I thought. I went out right away to find him. But then I saw him walk quickly back to his room. He seemed fine and (so far) innocent. So, I didn't suspect anything. Then, I went to the kitchen for some water, only to find the trash can was rampaged. Part of the trash was all over the kitchen floor. I chased piggy down and saw he had something in his mouth! I dug it out while he put up a fight. It was the left over pizza that he had with Daddy last night. I was just ... speechless.

I don't like to argue. Maybe it's because I suck at it that I would avoid to argue at all cost. Most of the time, I would shrug it off. And most of the time, I would forget about it. Unfortunately, I'm only human, and, I have bad days too. When that happened, I would not forget about it for months. You would probably shake your head and say, "you woman...".
Well, that's basically what ruined my weekend retreat to Delta Lake. It was our church yearly event. It was a bit far from where we live, and we were supposed to gather there for dinner. I was in charge of getting the direction and get everything ready to go by the time daddy came back from work. And yeah, off we went, it was dark and we had trouble finding a street. And we were a little lost and daddy was a bit mad. I didn't like it. I was like... I'm sorry I didn't look at the map in detail and if it's not left, it must be right, right? And guess what, that little thing just killed it. We got there without any problem and yet, the mood was gone. Sad to say, I couldn't get over it. I got pretty exhausted there and that didn't help either.
Anyways, let's talk about happier things. We didn't get to do much there, we had 2 long sermons and I couldn't really participate because we didn't have anyone to translate during the retreat. It was in Korean and I don't know Korean. On top of that, piggy was very busy. He sure enjoyed it. He was walking around, getting to know people, trying to play with the older kids, and learning the games they played. He has been trying to run ever since. He is getting pretty good at it, that even I have a hard time chasing him. He managed to run away with some food that I left on the dinning table a few times. And, he made a big mess in the living room with it. O, how I love my daily routine with my piggy at home.

Look at that face! Thinking about cleaning the mess he made just makes me sigh. Yet, it also puts a big smile on my face. *Shaking head*
Finally! My piggy started to run around, playing on his own again. Although he is turning the place upside down, I'm glad and relieved to see him well.
He was playing hide and seek with Daddy last night and they were having a marvelous time. It was a joy to hear their laughter.
Piggy wants to eat whatever we are eating lately. And, he wants to feed himself. He made a huge mess trying to use the spoon. Then, he had rice stuck all over his body and hair. Not to mention how he would drop his food on floor and wipe it on his high chair. And yet, I am very proud of him.

I never knew that I would be so bad at coping with stress. What do I expect, right? How much stress could I possibly get in college? Even so, it would have been over as soon as I was done with the projects or finals.
I guess now it's a bit different. I can't really get anything done with a clingy, sick baby around. There's no one around to give me a hand, well, most of the time. No one really to complain to. Just have to hang on. Just gotta pick up my wailing baby, praying that he would get well soon, hoping that he would finally eat something... and not to get sick again. Because, I don't think I can hang on for too long.
It feels like my body is breaking down. I guess I've been tense all along. I could still catch some sleep at night thanks to BENGAY. I just gotta manage to put it on my back every night. Geez.

Don't you hate it when your baby is sick? It's just heartbreaking to see him vomit, with fever and diarrhea. Not to mention how he loses appetite and gradually losing his weight, until some ribs are showing. Damn stomach bugs. I can't wait for him to recover so then I can make a piglet out of him again.
Syracuse can be quite depressing during the winter. Not much sun, plenty of clouds, snow/rain. You don't really go out, just sit at home and watch through the window if the snow piles up some more or is starting to melt. Not that I like to go out a lot, but coming from the sunny southern California, this is quite unusual.
I wonder if there's a housewife or a mommy club around here. I need to share with someone the dilemma of what to COOK every single day. I'm not a big fan of cooking although I love to eat. It gives me a headache. And, I realize that it's not such a good idea to decide what's for dinner an hour before dinner time. I desperately need help.
