I got off to a good start this morning... Something about what happened at work made my whole day... Yeah, I know that I didn't reach my quota today but, hell, there's still tomorrow till Friday. Anyway, people are busy, what with the coming audit and all. I juz got a bit sidetracked from my happy mood today when my team lead gave us the quality-checked files that we edited. See, we have this policy at work where we copyedit check another copyeditor's file to ensure that the article has passed the quality standards. I felt a bit awful because I totally forgot that I checked my friend's file. I know we're not supposed to know whose file we checked so I was just being honest about the errors I found. It turned out that she failed that certain file and well, you know what happened. Oh well, that's life and she'll pass next month.
Last weekend, we (my kids and I) trooped to my parent's home. I just had to relax and unwind from all the work-related stress that i've been experiencing lately. I didn't get to visit the cemetery, I mean you have like 365 days to do that, why go to all the trouble of going there when everyone else is all also going in that direction. And so, I stayed home and ate, read, watched movies, slept and then did the same things all over again. hehe... I guess that's my idea of R&R, can you blame me? And after all is said and done, I gained 2 pounds in just a few days, isn't that something? What i'm actually trying to do was lose weight! Hah, talk about dieting....
"I want a baby sister mom!" said my eldest son. "What?" I blurted. I mean he isn't even old enough to put his socks on and here he is talking about another baby. No! Definitely not possible... As much as i'd love to have a baby girl, I just couldn't go through the whole process anymore. Ugh, the pregnancy, the sleepless nights, the countless cans of milk and bags of diaper, no way. I'm done with that! My son even had the gall to tell me that he doesn't want one baby sister, but four! My mom just laughed and said that if i'd get pregnant again, I will become superfat already. As it is, she even reminds me now that I have to slow down with my eating, since i'm getting bigger by the minute.
So, that's it... I still have a couple of things on my mind but my youngest son is already bugging me to go to sleep, so i'll have to sign off now! Early nyt2x...
