Update on the empty fridge post...

As of 2 days ago, my freezer compartment is filled with these items:

-edited-
i) A bag of chicken nuggets
ii) A bag of fries
iii) A bag of chicken balls
iv) 2 packets of frankfurters
v) A packet of fish chips

I'm not much of a cook, so these easy to fry items are life savers for me. Whenever Shahrin's hungry, I can just boil or fry (whichever he prefers at that moment) the frankfurters (or hotdogs as he calls them). For Nazrin, he is not picky about what he eats, so it's easier preparing a meal for him. Though normally these items are eaten as snacks rather than during mealtime. At least they are eating something other than biscuits all the time (which was the case with Shahrin before he was introduced to the 'dogs).

I love poking around the internet, looking up easy and simple recipes. I do have a couple copied and pasted in my recipe folder but so far, I haven't tried any of them. I'm always looking for meals that don't require more than 3-5 ingredients in them since I'm lazy that way hehe. Unfortunately, I haven't had the time to restock my cooking essentials since 8 -9 months ago, you know, when I wasn't cooking due to being pregnant?

Anyways, things are slowly but surely looking up. The house is slowly getting organized although there are times   I feel like I'm taking 1 step forward and 5 steps back (the boys keep messing everything up!!) Well, I just have to stick to getting organized, hopefully without blowing my head up. Heh.

Come on, be honest. What's in your fridge?

Love this haiku. Kind of funny in a truthful way. 

 


Both images are curtsy of Google.

This is a normal condition/situation for my fridge.

Bottom compartment:
It's only ever constantly filled with plain water and a jug of Nescafe (for Ahmad and me) 
or Milo (for the boys). A container of honey, some kids' medicine (usual cough and fever ones),
a bottle of soy sauce (kicap la tu hehe), chili sauce and oyster sauce, each and 6 eggs.

Top/freezer compartment:
2 alphabets ice makers (you know, containers to put water in to make ice cubes?), 3 frozen puffs (my mom gave these 2 weeks ago hehe) and icicles. 

These items are what's currently in my fridge, as of today.
Since we often eat out, there's basically no left-overs in here.

Hopefully when my editing payment comes through sometime this week, we can go
shopping for things to fatten up my fridge again. 
*sigh*


So, what's in your fridge today?

Torn...

I'm thinking of taking a break from ghostwriting, editing and proofreading for a bit.
The house is such a mess that I'm not feeling the 'love flow' (<---feng shui talk :D) anymore.
But if I do that this break, I might mess up the flow of good money *sigh* since work is coming in at a steady pace these days. They are just the right amount of work that I can still juggle between being the working mother and the stay at home mother.

*sigh*

The hazard of working at home is that I'm constantly torn between completing my household chores and finishing my current project. I'm not complaining though since I get to raise the boys myself (sometimes I do feel like leaving them with their father for an hour or two just to get away from their constant bickering and demanding my attention) and at the same time bring some money in to help with the bills.

But after doing nothing during my pregnancy, the house really need some TLC. Plus, we've been planning to put Shahrin and Nazrin in a separate room of their own. It's not good for me & Ahmad to have 3 distractions in the same room as us, if you get my drift. If I decline a project or two while we get things under control again around here, we might be able to make this house presentable again.

I'm torn......

What the ...?????

My fave blogger's pictures have been 
wrongly used!!!

Apparently her twin's pictures have been used by someone else as their own.
They were even given new names.

The culprits used these children in their blog, facebook and 
a fund-raising page for their child with cancer. 

While I was at the linked facebook profile (visit Tertia's blog for more info about this), I wasn't sure where to look but the gist of what little I read was that the mother died yesterday during childbirth. They also have another child with cancer. I'm not sure why Tertia's twins were included in the profile picture of this family.

She suspects these people are running a scam for money by exploiting the story of their child having cancer. Don't know if this is even true but why do they even need to steal her twins' pictures & post it online? 

Somehow this thing is making me rethink about posting my children's pictures in facebook and even here in my blog.

Feeling guilty...

I can't sleep anymore even though I stayed up till 3am last night.

My poor husband's angry at me T_____T

He's been waiting for almost 2 months but I was just not into it.

I was sleepy and tired plus his brother slept here last night. That's a big turnoff for me. Huhu.

Why am I not interested? He tried his best during foreplay..pushing all the right buttons but......

I just don't feel like getting involved. He must have sensed it when his attempt to draw me into it was thwarted yet again (I didn't kiss him back).

In the end, he just got up and went out of the room for a smoke without getting what he wanted.

To do list.

I've finally, FINALLY finished all the backed-up projects I accumulated during my confinement.
Alhamdulillah for the extra income. But I really need a rest from staring at the computer all day. Well, there is still one more project coming in but that customer still hasn't email in the document yet, so here's my to do list for tomorrow;

1- *Sweep the floor
2- *Mop the floor
3- *Fold the laundry
4- Clean the stove
5- Tidy up the house
6- Write entries I've promised to write but never got around to do..


*Priority!!

The house is falling apart (think of a hoarder's house) since I last tidied up anything during my pregnancy. Don't know how long it's gonna take me to get everything under control again. *sigh*
