Mommy, Make it Better

A recent death in the family made me think of my own mortality. Somehow, I am getting convinced that there really might be some benefits in getting a term life insurance. I am single and I have a 3-year old boy. I am an only child. My father lives on the other side of the world with his wife. I am estranged from my father’s relatives. Sometimes I think, what’s to become of my son if I die? What would I leave my son?

Somehow it scares me. But I think it’s wise to be ready.

Busy, busy, busy. This is why I haven’t been able to blog daily as I used to. A mother’s work is never done. There’s a child to raise, a house to keep, a garden to tend.

Here’s a short list of the things I have to do.

• Get rid of the aphids on my Acalypha plants.
• Nurse my ailing Boxwood topiary.
• Find a good preschool nearby.
• Crunch the numbers and figure out my son’s enrollment this schoolyear.
• Get a wading pool. The summer heat is killing me.
• Have a look at all those insurance quotes

This isn’t it. These are just the things that are on my “immediate” to do list. I still have a gazillion things to attend to after I’ve finished with the above.

What is keeping you busy these days?

A wrinkled outfit is a definite no-no especially when you are on a job search. Wearing a proper attire during job interviews is part of “putting your best foot forward”. A carefully picked outfit that is properly laundered and ironed is dressing up for success. Why? Because you, your clothing and how you carry yourself is the first thing that an interviewer will see.

Here are a few quick tips on ironing clothes.
