Home Alone Day is Blogging Day!

Ever since I started blogging not so long ago, I found it very effective to write entries when I'm home alone. I am usually home alone during my sister-in-law's day off from work.

To give you an overview, my parents and granny lives in our other house. My eldest brother only comes home on weekends since he works in Makati. Only I, my other older brother, sister-in-law, 1 year old nephew, and house helper stays in this house. My sister-in-law works in a casino while my brother owns his own auto supply shop and automotive buy-and-sell business. He stays at his shop everyday.

The whole family

They usually visit my sister-in-law's parents during her off. On the other hand, our trusty house helper stays at my brother's auto supply shop as his substitute for the day. So that leaves me all alone in our house.

Fooling around with Jordan

Since I do home-based work, I serve as my nephew's babysitter/nanny. Jordan, now being able to walk, makes it even harder for me to accomplish things I used to routinely do. Ergo, on most occasions, I update my blog when I'm home alone and free from nanny duties.

All grown up now...

Being a full-time nanny to my nephew is a very exhausting but fulfilling job. There are times when I literally feel like I can't pick him up because of sore arm muscles. One of the biggest problem for me is when we are home alone together and I need to use the bathroom. I cannot just leave him anywhere because our house isn't very childproof and he is really getting very active and hyper. I guess the ups and joys of being a nanny will be my training ground for motherhood. LOL!
