"sibling" rivalry

When Je and I got married last year, one of his aunts warned me that Je wasn't merely my husband… he was going to be my panganay. I just laughed, only half-believing it. But he did become my little boy, specially when we were together in Riyadh. I enjoyed taking care of him even if he did test my patience sometimes.

Then comes a new "man" in my life. Since Thursday last week, when I'm not grabbing some much-needed shut eye, my time is consumed taking care of him. So much so that I don't even have time to upload his latest photos for Dada to see. He finally joked that may iba na akong lalake ngayon at pinapabayaan ko na sya. Harhar. I mentioned it to my mom and she said that there will be moments the hubby will get jealous of Jeolo, whether he'll admit it or not. Well.

I'm hoping I don't turn into one of those women whose lives revolve around their kids, forgetting that they have husbands, too. And vice versa. Hopefully, I'll be able to hit the right balance between being a mother and being a wife because I love them both in equal measure. They're my life.
