I'm here in the East Coast right now and coming from the Philippines where the weather is a hundred degrees, I'm freezing my butt here. Every two years or so, I visit relatives in the US and I usually arrive around this time, April or May. I can't seem to get used to this nippy weather but what can you do, better this than the scorching heat back home.
I wasn't able to blog for weeks. I had trouble logging in due to some password malfunction. My techie hubby managed to fix everything before I left, so now, I'm back. I also had such a stressful time preparing for this trip, what with the barquillos and piaya hoarding that I needed to do as well as 'psyching up' the babies so that they won't have any major "We-miss-Mom tantrums" while I'm gone.
I do miss the kids. Terribly. Although I've considerably recovered from jetlag, I don't think I can ever recover from feeling this way, like I left a part of my body back home. Ah, motherhood -- mothers always get melodramatic especially when away from their kids.
So far, I've done nothing but sleep and eat. I went out a couple of times to eat out with my Mom and my sister -- those were the high points of my first week here. Oh, not to mention taking my brother's Audi out for a spin (okay, I just drove my niece to her bus stop -- but "taking it for a spin" sounds more exciting, don't you think?). German luxury cars drive oh so smoothly -- quite a change from driving the big Nissan Frontier pick up back home. (But still I love that truck!)
Let's see what's in store for me here in the Northeast. But first thing's first, got to stop the sleep-eat-sleep cycle, it's time to hit the NY streets!
