for cooking meals for our toddlers *now tat i cook almost every day* i usually cook simple stuff. like chinese brewed soup. i put in all ingredient in slow cooker the night before so it will be ready the next day. everyone in the family can drink it. besides soup which i have it almost everyday or alternate day, i will cook those normal dishes lor.... rice, fish...... but i dun cook these everyday, too much work and also sort of sian if i eat those every day. so i will cook fried rice, noodle soup, steam egg *chawamushi* or maybe some finger food like chicken nugget *homemade*. and also i always have batch freeze stock *chicken, pork but no other ingredient in it* in my freezer just like berry, for last min cooking and such. reason for not putting any other ingredient in it as i dun feel comfortable if i have to batch freeze stock with veg. in it. and i use it as a BASE for porridge or noodle or to enhance the taste of certain dishes so i dun need to use salt or MSG. i will only add in veg. and such in SOUP, meaning consume within tat day.
for letting our toddlers staying over night is NOT a bad idea afterall. its just tat we mummies will feel guilty and such but again tats NORMAL? but when theres certain time when its doing more good than harm *actually no harm lah* like when u need to catch up some sleep or studying, its better infact? like me, after just 1 night of good rest without having to worry about things, i recovered the next day

yah!! i also feel the same but i ALWAYS remind myself tat *I* or hubby also need to have some times of our own too so to do our job better? in this case is being a better person *mummy* to quinn

ha!!!!! yah, i never stop reminding myself about tat. and i guess its getting better. i dun blame myself for things tat happen or feel guilty tat easily. i will pull myself out from those emotional tots too. i always tell myself this " I NEED TO TAKE GOOD CARE OF MYSELF BEFORE I CAN TAKE GOOD CARE OF QUINN / MY FAMILY "
hope gabe is okie now. and thanks, i am okie liao too
though this virus is pretty bad but recover quite fast also.

umm... normally if its not tat im seriously sick, i will not even let him go over to MIL without me in the afetrnoon. as they dun know wats his habits and sleeping pattern like so they will sort of mess up everything. but this afternoon when quinn woke up, he says he wanna go to PIL there

and n i guess he did enjoy himself there and of cos im glad. but the only thing tat stop me is their UPBRINGING culture...... pretty diff from mine. and also they will mess up quinn schedule as in sleeping and such its it takes quite alot of efford for me to tune it back, very tiring. so for cases like me not feeling well and such, i will let go but not as in a ROUTINE tat i will send him over just to play and in return i will get more trouble
