Casa Sosegad

Decided to take a week off the webosphere… I was overworked, overtired and not getting much sleep. That led to me feeling a little depressed. I could still do with a little more sleep but other than that, I am feeling much better this week.

Anthony turned 11 months this month. You would think I should be used to this by now - the way time just flies. After all, he’s not my first child; he’s the third. But, it never ceases to amaze me how fast they grow and then, soon, a day comes, when mom is no longer their most favorite person in this world… Alexander is already there. Dad is much higher on the list than mom… He’s always telling me to go to work so Dad can stay home with him…

So, let’s list accomplishments… Anthony is clapping, waving and “talking” up a storm. He’s got his four front teeth (two up and two down). He’s working on two more (up) now. They seem to be coming in all at once! I guess that’s the price we get for teething pretty late. He’s walking all over the place. Both older brothers started walking only after their first birthday but Anthony’s been walking since before turning 10 months. He loves planes! Every evening when we go for our walk, when he hears or sees a plane, he gets all excited and points and looks at them until after they are out of sight. I guess it’s good we live close to the airport. He’s also a master toilet roll un-raveller (is that a word?) and a master stair climber. In fact, he will try to climb anything he gets!

He’s eating peaches, bananas, rice, peas, carrots, apricots, grapes, avacado. We tried egg yolk but I think it did not agree with him. He was pretty miserable that afternoon. So, maybe next time, I’ll try half the yolk instead of a full one. I’ve also tried ground beef but he hasn’t taken to the taste yet. May take a few more tries before he likes it.

1. Would you shave your head for any amount of money? If yes, how much?

Hmm… it would have to be a substantial amount of money. I like my hair! I think at least a $1000…

2. What “whacky” thing might you do for a large sum of money?
Can’t think of anything. I am not really into “whacky”.

3. What do you think is a “large sum of money?”

If it’s my hard earned moolah, then even one dollar is a large sum of money! However, if you’re talking about windfalls/lotteries and the such, “a large sum” would have atleast 6 zeros after it…  all tax free!
4. Do you watch “reality” tv shows?
Nope.

5. If so, which do you watch and in what order do you prefer them? If not, are there any you may consider watching?

We do turn on American Idol once in a while but that’s it. My idea of fun does not include watching people act like promiscuous backbiting, backstabbing immature fools for money. However, that show that shows people competing in dance/singing (aka American Idol) is something that would be nice to watch. As long as they keep away from back stage histrionics!

Oh I like to watch ” What Not to Wear” as well… haven’t in a while though. Does that count?

6. Which reality show have you thought about participating in? Why?
I don’t think these count but I would love to be in “What not to Wear?” or “Design on a Dime”.
7. Share one thing you would like to do in life but have not yet done….. think about why you haven’t done it and share if you wish.

I would love to visit Israel, the Vatican and Rome. Well, before the kids,  I did not have the money to do it and now, travelling with young kids is very difficult! Maybe when they are a little older, we will finally make the trip!

Appetizer
Tell about a toy you remember from your childhood.
Hmm… we had a lot of toys growing up…but though we were three girls, we never had a doll house or anything really big and significant. I do remember that we had those flexible road systems with the hot wheels cars.

Soup
If you could make one thing in the world absolutely free for everyone, what would it be?
Food. So no one would starve.
Healthcare. So everyone could have access to good healthcare

Salad
Approximately how many times per day do you think about your significant other?
Constantly. We speak once during the working day but since I am a SAHM, we are constantly talking about Dad.

Main Course
What is something you believe in 100%?
Jesus is our God and our Savior.

Dessert
Name one thing you have done this week that you would consider a “good deed.”
Can’t think of a thing. I don’t get out much with three kids and housework.
