DAY 250: October 31, 2010; SUNDAY

261(and then some)
Days of "Strawberry Jam" without "J"

Dear Jam,

Need I say more? Yes, today is another one of those busy days. Busy to the point either you or I were spreading ourselves too thin for a day's off.

Firstly, I had to do more than one chore, which should have been good enough for a week's task. Apart from the everyday roles I am expected to do, I had to make sure that the pad is extra spic and span to make way for the afternoon's visitors. I think I went a tad overboard placing our "Little Christmas Tree" bare of the essentials in the middle of the clean room. In short to say, we could have done without the undressed tree, which could easily be seen in the bareness of festivities in the middle of our pad. Anyway, you enjoyed it, helped you learn how to climb up the chair perfectly by yourself just so you could reach the thing where it was standing.

Secondly, there was laundry to be put out under the sun and taken in
the shelter from the rain. You were
a helping hand, I say this and I am quite fortunate. You helped me take the clothes off the line and though you were rather weighty, you weren't a burden. Thank you, sweetheart.

Thirdly, there was naptime. No naptime, period. Haha! You were as anxious as I was, picking up the psychic distress I was sending out for too much worry over how long it was taking my models to get to the location.

Then finally, as I have mentioned models, there was the Halloween Photoshoot for the cousin's CARMINE and LYCA (Vampire and Werewolf) theme shoot. What was so stressful was the fact that I had to play Make-up Artist, Photographer, Photoshoot Director...and most of all your Mommy. You wouldn't want to be out of the spotlight that was my embrace. You allowed either Ate Hannah or Ate Hannie hold you for awhile but then you would always beg for my attention. Your Tita-Ningang-Jollibee-Ma'am-Deen and Tita Tin put makeup on you, thinking that would keep you put but no. At one point, you wanted to be the lighting assistant, then the propsman, you wanted to be the photographer thus borrowing Ate Hannah's phone to take you picture with it, then you wanted to be the model, which explains why you had a frame with me and Nahnang. In the end, you wanted to be the baby. Cranky as for the lack of sleep, throwing tantrums since you felt like I was drawn to take care of everyone else but you. The yema, thankfully pacified you. I'm just a little worried with the haywire effect the sugar has on you right now. We're sleeping in Kauswagan right now for two reasons and that is I need to edit and we need to be early up to visit Molugan Cemetery tomorrow.

We owe our thanks to Nahnang today for buying you a new set-of-three bottle nipples. You've bitten off more of the silicon nipples than you should and there's nothing but gaping holes everywhere. It must be the teeth! You nasty little vampire! Heheh xD Speaking of vampire, you just sunk your new set of fangs into fresh grapes at Kauswagan. It was your first time to try them, that's why you didn't enjoy the skin as much as the juice. You merely sucked at the juices and spat whatever else was left of it. Just like a vampire huh?

JAMantic of the Day:
So everyone gets to hear your voice with words that come out from bigger people's mouth. Like "wash" this you told me when you had a diaper gravy and asked me to wash you, pointed the bathroom for everyone to understand how good you are with word-meaning-function association. Then you said "joosh" when you saw Tita Ten drink "juice" from the glass. And "agee" after
Tita-Ningang-Jollibee-Ma'am-Deen who said "Agi ko", the Visayan for "May I pass?".

Your MAYmah,
