TWENTY THINGS A MOM SHOULD TELL HER SON

TWENTY THINGS A MOM SHOULD TELL HER SON

1. Play a sport.

It will teach you how to win honorably,

lose gracefully, respect authority,

work with others, manage your time

and stay out of trouble.

And maybe even throw or catch.

2. You will set the tone for the sexual relationship,

so don't take something away from her that you can't give back.

3. Use careful aim when you pee.

Somebody's got to clean that up, you know.

4. Save money when you're young because you're going to need it someday.

5. Allow me to introduce you to the dishwasher, oven,

washing machine, iron, vacuum, mop and broom.

Now please go use them.

6. Pray and be a spiritual leader.

7. Don't ever be a bully and don't ever start a fight,

but if some idiot clocks you, please defend yourself.

8. Your knowledge and education is something that nobody can take away from you.

9. Treat women kindly.

Forever is a long time to live alone and it's even longer to live with somebody

who hates your guts.

10. Take pride in your appearance.

11. Be strong and tender at the same time.

12. A woman can do everything that you can do.

This includes her having a successful career

and you changing diapers at 3 A.M.

Mutual respect is the key to a good relationship.

13. "Yes ma'am" and "yes sir"

still go a long way.

14. The reason that they're called "private parts" is because they're "private".

Please do not scratch them in public.

15. Peer pressure is a scary thing.

Be a good leader and others will follow.

16. Bringing her flowers for no reason is always a good idea.

17. It is better to be kind than to be right.

18. A sense of humor goes a long way

in the healing process.

19. Please choose your spouse wisely.

My daughter-in-law will be the gatekeeper for me

spending time with you and my grandchildren.

20. Remember to call your mother

because I might be missing you.

Oh my, Kuya is sick!

It's really hard to see when your child is sick. Just this morning my Jeremy started not feeling well. It was very unusual for him to take a nap in the middle of the morning. I just noticed the fever when I was about to give him a bath.  When I took his temperature, it was 99 degrees. I decided not to give him a bath and told him to lay down instead and take a rest. I immediately gave him an Ibuprofen syrup to relieve the fever. While taking care of my sick boy, I asked myself, why did he get sick? When he woke up this morning he was perfectly fine. Did he get a virus yesterday when we went out to get his Dad's iPhone at Oxmoor Mall? Oh my poor little boy, if only Mommy can take that fever instantly.

Came lunch I prepared a noodle soup for him and a cup of juice to drink. We were in the middle of feeding when he suddenly threw up. He was crying this time and telling me "Mom, I'm not feeling well". My heart was broken into pieces seeing him like this but I kept myself calm and told him that he's gonna be OK. Good thing he still ate a little bit and took a nap again. Although I continue to give him the Ibuprofen syrup every six hours, the fever went on and off the whole afternoon.

Hubby and I were happy when he finished his dinner this evening. So far no fever and no throwing up this time. We're hoping for a fever free the whole night otherwise we will bring him to the Doctor for a check up tomorrow. I still like to see my boy goofing inside the house or playing with his little brother rather than being him sick.

Lord, please take away my son's fever. We miss his "kakulitan"
We love you Jeremy. Get well soon.
