I want to go home to pinas badly this year, initially I wanted to celebrate Zaia's birthday but with way things are going it's not happening. Things are moving slowly than expected and we cannot make definite plans. I wish the one we'd hope for would happen next month so I can make plans such as enrolling Caleb to a preschool, enrolling for a summer class and booking vacay tickets among other things. I just felt like things are in a slow motion and I wish I could push the fast forward button.
As it is I have two options. One to push through with my September plans, go home in time for Zaia's birthday, I stay 4 weeks longer and I bring Yiek's dad with me. I cannot go back alone with 2 kids, gaad I can't imagine a crazy kid plus a walking toddler so I need back-up help. He will also help take care of the kids while I go job hunting. The only caveat is that I'm scared of doing double of what I'm doing now. Yiek's dad doesn't know how to cook, I highly doubt he knows how to do household work and I'm not even sure he knows how to take care of kids. So I am not too sure about this.
2nd option and one I leaning to wait til last week of Nov go with a friend who kindly volunteered her services to help me take care of the kids. Yiek will go christmas time 3 weeks later that us and we will go home together. I'll start the job-hunting January. It's christmas the happiest holiday for pinoys need I say more? Also, my BFFs will probably be going home around that time and we can finally meet again after exactly 2 years. Sigh! I miss these gals.
I guess if I take option 2 I have to let go of Zaia's *bongang bongang*1st birthday plans and opt for a simple one here in NJ with the same expenses I might add. Hayyy... I just hope that April would be IT so that I can finally start planning.
