I was head-over heels...
I planned to have a coctail type of celebration this year as I know it will be so stressful at work when most of my colleagues got the winter sickness. I don't have toddlers, so, what can a mother with grown-up kids like me say? "Just get up and work" to help. Does it matters? It matters if you have some plans. However, this time, it works for me, in a way.
But, doing a coctail is not as easy as the other meals. Cocktails have so many steps, many ingredients and so on and so forth. This time, I was so happy both kiddos were home, did their job to help Mum & Dad. It was a wonderful time, after all--- having them with a bit stressed Mum to finished in time. It was funny when D´Nics told me "CHILL".
