casserole of my life


Mommy happy

concocted on Mon, 2 Apr 2007 @ 8:56 am for Eats, Parenting

I have to remind myself to stop being stubborn.  Especially where milk is concerned.  I realised that my edginess, moodiness and impatience last week was in a large part due to my stubborn refusal to drink milk for the past month.  And for a good moment, I actually thought I was being menopausal.  Well, learning through mistakes is not always a good thing sometimes.

Now I know why the eating didn’t lift my mood much.

And why the Black Pig Kyushu Ramen failed to excite me even though it was uber delicious (yes, we went back again.)

But despite being the grouchy and impatient mom, my son still adores me.  Whenever he spotted me looking irritated or angry, he would go “mommy happy, mommy happy” and proceeds to give me a cheeky grin in a attempt to lighten me up.

Parenting.  Sheer moments of joy.  Least when you expect it.

  1. SS, I seem to suffer from the same syndrome…

    Didnt realise milk is good for PMS…
    Love milk very much last time, but dono why now, maybe is hormone change, milk makes my stomach bloated… so I have avoid milk for quite sometime already.

    Have been feeling lethargic too… many times wanted to leave comments on those mommies blog I hv read but half way typing, I gave up…

    same to my own blog… except simple things from my girls… the purest happiness… no complex feeling…

    the girls can obesrved my facial & know I don feel good and always concern :”Mommy, are you ok?(tourching my forehead somemore ) got fever huh? Want to see a doctor?”

    whereas the man :”Nowadays you very lazy huh? Do things also half past ten… ”

    … … …

    Guess, children are the simplest things yet can adore us the most :)

    Sweet Gavin, autie give you a *hug* and SS if u don mind I hug u too :p

    must quickly get over this and cheer up again! Let aja aja together,k ;)

    Huh?I tot I saw shabu shabu?!
    I love shabu shabu!
    I really miss the time when I was in japan.. but cant find any authentic shabu shabu in spore… I will sure go to the black pig restaurant… their shabu shabu good?

    wtpg: Yeah, I think they have shabu shabu but I’ve not tried it there. Not sure about the quality.

    Milk give me gastric problem now. I heard from the doc that Asians are more lactose intolerant. But I have to revert back to drinking. Maybe cut to 3 times a week.

  3. I dislike drinking milk or anything dairy as I am lactose-intolerant. But erm besides that, don’t you find that the taste lingered on the throat after downing a glass of milk and it is so difficult to get rid of the smell? Or maybe it’s just me lah :P

    msff: I drink the Meiji one…not so bad. But I’m slightly lactose intolerant as well.

  8. I only like chocolate milk… usually go for the HL low-fat version..taste yummy ;-)

    Gavin is such a sweet boy…and I notice he is getting more and more good-looking by the days !

    SSF: I would prefer chocolate too, but I heard that’s more fattening. Not too sure… And thanks for your compliments about the boy. :smile:

  9. I used to have gastric problems too when I drink the cold milk. Now I usually drink it warm (microwave it) with some crackers to snack on and I have no more gastric pain! So u might want to try this method.

    CM: I don’t like to drink it cold either. What I do is I take it out and leave it outside for half an hour before I drink. Maybe I’ll try to warm it up and see if it helps. Thanks for the tip!

  13. Gavin is sooo cute!

    I only drink soy milk once in a great while. I am basically a happy person except when my hubby and my teenager irritates me…heheh. That vacation I just had was relaxing and reinvigorating.

    Belle: But I doubt they irritate you often right? And you seem like a very patient sort of wife and mum to me :wink: And thanks for the compliments about Gavin!

  15. Definitely more fattening cz’ of the cocoa content, but a cup per day should be fine though ;-)

    Or else, try blending fresh milk with fruits…..for the perfect yummy smoothie !

    SSF: Er…I’ll skip. I don’t like smoothie.
