I'm a full-time mummy

I wrote before that being a SAHM, one of the things I look forward to is taking a short break from home, to be away with my family on a holiday. Just in case you don't know, beign a SAHM is a hectic and tiring job, being stuck at home all day, 24 hours, 7 days a week and 365 days a year and now that I've begun teaching my 3.5 years old boy makes it even more appealing to take short breaks more often!

Currently, we normally go to family-friendly and near to the places of interests particularly beach area and with lots of good places with delicious food to eat! But we are planning to look for forest area for our next short break, possibly sometime after the new year since our latest family trip is just 2 weeks ago. Yeah, some kind of new year breaks would be awesome.

Why forest area? If you have been following my blog, you would remember I bought a survival kit for my hubby's birthday this year. He is very into survival preparation and readiness and would really love to try it out in as close scenario and environment as possible, hence the forest / jungle area. So I have been checking out websites locally on family-friendly camping areas which are comfortable for our 2 kids to be in while still be able to allow my husband to try out his knowledge and tools. Will update you guys more often if this plan materialises.

What about you? Do you want to take a short break too?

"Hang in there"

These are the words that pulled me through the day...

Yes, I cried and there are times I wished I could die...

It started out on Tuesday night around 11pm when I felt some pains on and off on my joint and muscles... impending flu coming and I also get nose blocked and runny nose as well.

The next day when I woke up, I was tired and decided no teaching kiddos for the day. I just need to rest and I let my kids watched TV (Toy Story, Doraemon movies) I made oats for my kids for breakfast and had some bread for myself.

Lunch time came and I fed my boy tuna with oat biscuits while my girl had the oat biscuits only (she doesn't like tuna) and then my boy vomited. All over the kitchen floor.

I'm trying hard to pull myself together while I wipe the floor as my boy stood crying at the mess.

Once clean, I brought them upstairs, rest on my bed with my kids and my boy vomited again on our bed. I did what I could, cupped the vomit with my 2 hands, but it just come and come and overflows and I couldn't get up on time and there's no way I could open the bathroom door (which is closed at all times) so I did what I could only think of,

I flung the vomit on the floor. Away from the bed.

Sigh... then I cleaned myself, my boy, put my girl in the playpen, mopped the floor and changed the bedsheet.

Googled around for what to give for upset tummy and after vomit incidents in kids and gave my kids some yogurt and rice crackers.

My boy napped after that folloewd by my girl. And I finally managed to get about half hour rest before my #$&^%&^ neighbor continued their drilling again (they are renovating their house)

My hubby got home around 6pm and he said we should bring our boy to see our family doctor. Then Ben told me he wants to vomit and I quickly brought him to our bathroom sink and he vomited again. We got ready and left our girl with my mother in law to feed her dinner.

After the clinic visit, we got back home, made a little bit oats with a bit sugar inside (for energy) Ben had some and told me he wants to burp...

and he vomited.

Total 4 times now for the day.

This time hubby cleaned, wiped and mopped the floor. I didn't put Ben's potty close enough to catch the vomit but then I didn't expect he will vomit when he says he wants to burp.

Sigh...

In the end, hubby said give Ben a lollipop and immediately Ben perks up and we can immediately see the change in him. A little more energy and back to his usual chirpy self.

LOLLIPOP.

And also, at one point Ben told me he doesn't have stomach ache anymore because God protects him.

Hang in there...

Thank you God for your protection over our family.
