What The Heck Happened Today

This morning when I woke up, I thought of recording my schedule for today as it happens, so that one day when I crazily thought of becoming a SAHM, I can take it out to scare myself out of that thought. I was going to be at home one whole day alone with my 2 girls. Not exactly something I look forward to.

Here’s the rundown of what the heck happened today:

• 7am – Joey woke up. MIL looked after her.
• 730am – Joey drank milk, ate biscuits & entertained herself.
• 745am – Dear woke up. Went off to work.
• 830am – Jayne woke up. I officially woke up.
• 845am – Fed Jayne milk. Bathed her.
• 9am – Jayne went back to sleep. I washed & sterilised her bottles. Took out frozen chicken from the freezer. For dinner tonight: Cooking soya sauce chicken!
• 915am – Took out pre-frozen soup base to cook Joey’s porridge. Chopped up cauliflowers, carrots & mushrooms.
• 930am – Start cooking Joey’s porridge.
• 945am – Porridge still on stove. Made myself a coffee. Read a story to Joey.

I’m sorry if I lost you somewhere near the 3rd item, but yeh, that was how my today went. On hindsight, time actually felt like it passed slower when I recorded down everything I did. I guessed it’s because I was virtually looking at the clock whenever I did something. And it actually was not as bad as I thought it would be. Maybe because it’s one of those days Jayne slept very well throughout the day and Joey did not do anything to antagonize me. haha..

Now the pictures!

Porridge time. I cooked a big pot of chicken & potato soup the other day, so I saved a container of the clear soup & freezed it. I just took it out, defreeze it a little, then popped into pot to cook with rice and some ingredients. Sweet & aromatic porridge was ready in no time!

Puzzle time

Coloring time

Playground time

I feel pretty exhausted by now. It’s tiring to take care of 2 kids! =P
