The weather is getting hotter each day and the wind is very dry. To those that is hemorrhoids prone like me, please prepare yourself to SUFFER! You don’t have to suffer though if you know how to take precaution and where to find the best hemorrhoids treatment.
As for me, I am drinking water as frequent as possible and bathe at least twice a day to keep my body cool. Avoid eating heaty food and drinking achohol. You can also keep yourself hydrated by drinking isotonic drink like Revive and 100Plus or cook your own Liang Tea.
You know, stress can also cause hemorrhoids. Thank God I have a stress buster with me; my 9mo baby.
I am looking forward to better days ahead. I do not know when. It could be tomorrow, next week, next month, next year or next 10 years. Till then, bear with me when I rant ok.
After ranting about me being fed-up eating alone and skipping dinner and not eating any diet supplements to substitute , I just realised that I cannot be selfish. When I skipped dinner, my baby suffers coz I can’t produce enough milk for him. In the end, he suffers, I suffer too coz he does not want to sleep and keep on latching and crying out of frustration.
The next night, Baby was such good boy and sat in his walker quietly waiting beside me while I eat my dinner in peace. Hmm…I wonder how he managed to read that Fed-Up post.
Fed-up of eating my own food which I cook everyday. Coz, I am not a good cook. So, I ended up eating lunch at my mom’s and skip dinner!
Fed-up of eating all by myself. Eat with my children? Well, when they eat, I’ll be feeding my Baby at the same time and layaning them. So, I ended up not eating or eating bread in their presence when they are playing. I need someone to sit with me when I eat without me having to serve them at the same time.
Fed-up of swallowing my food. Can’t bear hearing Baby crying in his walker waiting for me to pick him up so, I eat as fast as I could. Not fun at all. So, I ended up skipping dinner.
Now I know the reasons I am getting skinnier besides getting less than 5 hours of sleep on school days.
I have been busier than before the school starts. I hardly have time to update my own blogs daily.
I thought after “kicking out” 3 of my 4 children to school, I will have more time for myself but I am darn WRONG!
Now…
I slept less during the night but managed to compensate 1-2 hours by napping together with them.
I have to drive more.
I have to hand wash their new uniforms.
I have more uniforms to iron.
I have more school shoes to wash and blanco.
I have more water tumblers and food containers to wash.
And one of me is not enough to guide 3 of them to do their homework.
BUT my almost 9mo baby is happy coz he has my undivided attention from the moment he wakes up till 12noon. After that, he has to share mommy with his kor kor and jie jies.
Anyway, praise God that He gave me the energy to all of the above and I am sure pretty soon I’ll get the hang of it. It is always like that; in the beginning life seems so difficult but after you get used to it and do it with a cheerful heart, everything will fall into place perfectly and life isn’t so difficult after all.
There is a time for everything, and a season for every activity under heaven. (read Ecclesiastes 3f)
Right now is the time for me to check out the long distance movers for my friend.
Thanks to the internet, I am able to watch the latest season of CSI Miami on my desktop and at my own time. The last episode that I watched was S0811, a week before Christmas and since then, no more new episode is being uploaded. What happened? I miss watching dead people in those cheap hotels in panama city beach fl and how the CSIs find the killer with their high tech equipment; dunno real or not. I think they are still on holiday mood.
After 2 days eating canteen food, my eldest girl complaints that the amount is too little. I totally agrees with her. If I eat it arh….3-4 spoonful gone liau. She can easily wallop 3 bowls of it! Expensive some more pulak tu. One bowl of rice (chicken rice or nasi lemak) is RM1 and noodles, RM0.80.
So, she requested me to cook for her! Aiyoyo! Have to wake up earlier. But how could a mommy say “No” right? So, from tomorrow onwards, waking up time is 5.30am instead of 6.30am. The problem is, I am so used to sleeping at 2.30am! Looks like when they nap, I MUST nap too.
When can I do housework then? Hmmm…must re-plan my schedule or let baby chase me around in his walker when I do sweeping and mopping.
Gee! Motherhood is getting more interesting each year.
Woke up at 6.30am then wake my eldest up at 6.45am to get her ready for school. Today is her first day in Primary One.
I have made a mental plan on how to go about today since last night.
Wake up. Send my girl to school. Come home, heat up left-over food, fried eggs, veggie and cook baby’s food. Dump bajus in washing machine. 9.45am send baby to my mom then go back to school to teach my girl on how to buy food from the canteen then bring my No.2 & 3 to kindy to buy books and uniform.
Thank God, there is a slight change and I am able to sit down here to blog about it right now.
Woke up. Send my girl to school. Came home, baby woke up! Feed baby some bread. Cook while carrying baby with one hand! Thank God he wanted to sit in his walker while I was preparing the ingredients to cook. 9.45am send baby and my other 2 to my mom’s together with the slow cooker with baby’s food inside (half way cooking). Then come home to pack lunch and dinner for hubby then rush back to my girl’s school to assist her to buy food from the canteen. After she is done eating, brought her to the library and told her she can hang around there while waiting for recess time to be over.
Back in her class, I saw there is a time table written on the blackboard BUT it is in Chinese! Thank God there is a prefect around and I got her to translate for me. Then I left for home. Dump laundry in the washing machine and here am I.
Time to go now. Hang bajus then quenched my baby’s thirst with my milk then fetch my girl at 1.35pm.
Thank God that the kindy hours has changed to 8am to 12noon. So tomorrow, I don’t have to make 2 trips in the morning to send my children to school and kindy but I pity my son coz he has to wake up as early as his elder sister. My 2nd girl no problem; she always wake up early.
I don’t have any! And I am not going to make any this year too coz I can never achieve any of it. I wanted to be extra patience with my children and I snapped on the first day of the year. I wanted to change my apartment flooring to tile but didn’t have the means until today. I wanted to eat more healthily; I can’t resist Nasi Lemak for breakfast. I want to buy a new car; I am still driving my old junk.
So, making no resolution this year. Maybe mini ones like “Be extra patience with the kids today.” Something more achievable.
As for me, I was struggling to put my 8.5mo baby to sleep but to no avail. He is still awake now (1.53am). I guess he is excited too. I gave up and when hubby came home from work about an hour ago, he put baby in his walker while we enjoyed a glass of Baileys Irish Cream on the rock and munching some Muruku.
Right now, hubby and my 2nd girl is watching Avatar on our PC while I blog away here.
