When I got an email from Mommy Community that it’s now time for the Tuesday Toot, I got kinda melodramatic. I have been feeling down and out lately and haven’t been in the best moods. Which means I haven’t been the most patient when it comes to my toddler. In fact, I often find myself getting irritated so easily. I’m not sure if it’s due to the plenty of medications I still am taking or just because I have been into too much stress lately. Plus the fact that I still remain like a walking prawn because the allergies all over my body still remain. (I think I’m making progress, though — the rashes have now began to form patches and maps signifying saturation point and will soon fade off, that’s how it works for me at least.)
I honestly feel bad that I can’t be nicer when my son begins to get his usual rowdy self. I should be thankful though that I have a relatively disciplined and real loving son who time and again readily forgives his mama when she asks for it. I asked him to forgive me and he said, “Yes mama, I forgive you.” I guess despite myself, being melodramatic about it and all, this is something to toot about. A reminder for myself to keep my composure — refocus and love the people around me more, especially my son, who I am with 24/7 (almost, that is, if I’m not going to the doc’s clinic lately). I love him more than anything in the world, yet I cannot spare him from myself. The imperfect me. But then again, I am God’s constant-work-in-progress. He is not finished with me yet. I will do better at things, where He has called me to be.

Hi Jennie,
I realized that you really blog frequently.. or you just miss blogging while in the hospital.. hehe.. Wow! A real blog addict! Haha!
So is it true that a toddler is hard to handle? Hehe. I guess I need to enjoy my baby’s infant months before she/he gets older. haha!!
By the way, Happy Easter! Christ has risen! He saved us from our sins! Hallelujah! =)

Hey Jennie! I was not into blog hopping lately since I myself have lost some of my inner motivations to blog. Anyway, I am so sorry to hear about your allergies. I hope it will be all be gone soon.
As for your toddler, I have my 4yr old boy. He makes me crazy at times. I am yet a struggling mother. Just like you, from a career mom to sahm, so I am yet adjusting to everything.
But, just as the promise of a new hope the easter brings, God is alive and he will be faithful to finish the work he has begun in us.
Have a great TT!!
Mine is HERE.

@Moja: Oh girl, you would have to back track and see for yourself. I used to blog with 15 entries a day. I would have to say, I’m doing my low-profile stance these days.
You should enjoy every development stage. Each passes by real quickly. I took tons of videos and photos of my son, from when he was in utero up until now(my contacts from Multiply should have gotten tired of. lol!) It was just lots, I should say. It’s fun being a mom.
@PinayMommy: Thanks for the encouragement sis. Appreciate it. Happy Easter to you both!

Jennie,
Being a 24/7 can be very draining at times. Don’t be too harsh on yourself. Parenting is a learning journey and you have already accomplished a lot being able to be there for your son. Toddlers are really difficult to handle and it doesn’t get easier when they are older, having a different set of problems with my 4yr old as compared to his 15mth old brother. Just take the challenge as it comes along
Btw thanks for stopping by my blog.
