I have planned a very serious thing to spend this very long weekend, and it involves mothery thing.
You know.. some of us might think.. 'well I wanna be a mom', but some others -the optimist realist ones- will think 'well, I should prepare to be a mom' even before she knew who she'd be married to. Woman got to put their best confidence as their makeup, including this one.
Motherhood is a scary thing because you never learn how to do it, you only can observe from experience and people around you, but there's never really a standard to that. People do things differently, even to wrap or not to wrap is a debate-discussion between moms. It will be easier if motherhood came with a checklist like those certification schemes we all knew. But it didn't (or maybe shouldn't).
So I decided to do some preparation, as I am very optimistic that one day with God's willing, I will be a mom. Since I have way enough time to prepare, I couldn't let my child down to find that their mom welcoming them unprepared. Those poor little things can't pick who to be their mom. (Sorry kids, you stuck with me).
Anyhow, planning is also a tricky thing. There is no real standard on how to plan to be a mom. Is it learn how to teach language first, or maths, or how to breastfeed, or how to cook for their baby-sticky food? None.. nothing. There's nothing like a curriculum or something to prepare to be a mom.
So, this weekend, I'll start with one small step. And maybe this is the most crucial one, as it involves something that will influence my kids' brain.
I will watch the entire Garfield series on youtube.
To make sure that there's no harmful content because I don't want my kids to think from early age about how freaky Monday is. I should make sure that I get all the jokes, so if my kids ask why am I laughing, I could explain to them like well honey, some scientist has proved that during a full moon, there's a significant change in human's blood pressure. It explains why most people get sick during the full moon, and the explanation will involve some electromagnetic waves, you will learn about that one day. But for now, yep something could change into a vampire under the full moon.

Have a great long weekend, everyone. Enjoy every second!
