I am so addicted to the multiply site of ChooChoo Baby. I checked their site almost every day to check for new items that are on sale.

ChooChoo Baby is an online site that sells items from the US like baby and toddlers clothes from Gap, Old Navy, Osh Kosh, etc; baby feeding and nursing items like Avent baby bottles; baby nursery and gears like stroller, diaper bags, play mat, etc. They also have a store in Davao and I am sure that their products there sell like pancakes because it is more encouraging to buy it if you see the actual look of the items as it is displayed in the cardboard displays as compared to just looking at the pictures. And not to mention that their prices are acceptable not like other sellers in multiply who charge almost three times the online price.

She has items coming soon this September to October and I am already eyeing at a number of items to buy for B and Jacobo. I just hope that I will find the budget so I can afford all that is included in my wish list.

I was watching the news and heard that President Obama already finished the service of the American soldiers in Iraq. I can imagine how difficult life can be of the soldiers fighting in Iraq. I guess in a way I am happy with the decision of the president to relieve the soldiers from their duty in Iraq because thousands of American soldiers already died there.

I wonder how a day passes in a life of a soldier while they are on duty in Iraq. Maybe some of them are using this time to get online military degrees from MilitaryDegree.com. At MilitaryDegree.com, soldiers can use their free time while on duty to get an online college degree as the courses being offered here are tailored for US Military personnel. Another good thing about studying in MilitaryDegree.com is that soldiers can use their educational benefits as their tuition so they don’t need to shell out money from their own pocket.

Being a soldier is very difficult but I am really glad that MilitaryDegree.com offers online courses to the US soldiers so at least they can earn a college degree while performing their duties to their country.

This is it, in just two weeks they will be moving to their new home. I am talking about my brother and his wife since their love nest will be finish in two weeks time which means that they will finally be able to move in to their new home.

They are currently living now with my parents but my sister-in-law is due to give birth on October so they want to move in before she gives birth so they have a much bigger space for the baby.

So far, the tiles, the bath tub, the shower and the water filter (which they bought from a wholesale water filter seller) have already been installed. The roofing and the ceiling has already been replaced and the kitchen tiles have been installed as well. They will be buying their furniture and appliances next week and after that they can move in.

I am so happy for my brother because I know this is what he wants for his family – their own place which they can call their own.

I am so stressed out right now and I really feel so sad and lonely because in just a few days I will be going back to work. If only I am smoking, I might have consumed a box of Swisher Sweets cigar already because of my depression.

I am not complaining and I am really thankful that I have a job to go back to after my 78 days of maternity leave. I really need this job and I really can’t afford to loose it so I should really be happy about it. But the nearer September 7 gets, the more depressed I am because it means that I will no longer be able to spend a lot of time with my two kids. I will surely miss giving B a bath, or putting Jacobo to sleep when it is time for his nap in the afternoon, or playing with B, and fetching her from school everyday.

If only I can afford to become a work-at-home mom so I can just stay at home and be with my kids 24x7. But my work is our bread and butter and at this point in our life, we can’t afford to become a single-income family. So I guess, I really have no choice but to suck this sadness up and get back to my groove as I go back to work on Tuesday.
