Weird Dream * AGAIN!*

Ughhhh another " weird nightmare"!

I was in ML's bedroom, and saw from her window the neighbor's yard. There're some people over there talking late at night. It's was like doing transactions. I only peeped from the blind.

Then, I saw this one guy, smoking, looking at the window, and getting closer. I was afraid. I opened the blind ( ughhh ),and the window. He saw me and asked me what I was doing. I didn't say anything, but he put closer his cigarette and pushed on my right shoulder. Awww... it's burning!!!! He hurted me!

 Then, another scene, was " my husband " ( it's weird, my husband in this dream was my so called " father " from Lombok Island, where I used to live with him and his family ). 

I saw this " husband " had another " girl ". First, the girl was taken to our house and introduced as a worker. Then, it turned out they're getting closer. Till I asked what happened between them.

They admitted they had an affair, I was so furious! I asked the girl to leave the house. And my so called " husband" insisted she would stay with us. I threatened him to choose.He chose the girl. I told them to leave immediately, and I kept the kid.

Goshh... how hard it was to fight over the cheating. In my dream, I was really desperate to make it work, and it didn't.

May this weird thing only happened in the dream. I couldn't imagine in the reality.

May God protect our marriage, our lil family

Bet, if I told Ronnie about this dream, he would laugh at me. He would say," You always have weird dreams." LOL

Mommy Not Like ML ?

She did it again!  I was ready to take her to bed, and touched her bottom. Ahhh.. she P*OP again. Duh!

 

I told ML, “ This is not good.You’re a big girl. You can do it by yourself.Or, if you need help, ask Mommy or Daddy.”

 

ML said “ sorry… sorry, Mommy. Sorry”. Ah….I said, “ No more ,ML. This is not the 1^st time you do it. You need to learn. You’re a big girl.”

 

I told her I wouldn’t put on undies on her. Ha ha ha ha ha. She’s scared. She said,” Mommy, I’m sorry… I’m sorry.”

 

I cleaned her up, and put on a new undies. Then, I asked her to go to bed. She asked me to read her “ Purple Cupcakes.” I said,” No Purple Cupcakes tonite. Tomorrow,I’ll read. Let’s pray right now.”

 

We prayed, then ML asked me one more time to read. I said, “ We need to talk, ML.”

She was quiet. I told her, “ ML needs to stop doing it. It’s not good. You’re big enough.You can do it.”

ML responded,” I’m sorry.” I said,” Mommy hears that many times. It’s time to stop. Mommy likes Maggie. Look at Maggie.She’s a big girl. She can do it, ML can do it,too.”

 

Suddenly she says,” Mommy not like ML ?” She put a sad face. Oh my!!!!!!!!!! I didn’t mean to sound like that! LOL

 

 My answer,’ Mommy loves ML.Mommy likes ML.ML just needs to stop doing it in pants. Mommy’s here to help you.Daddy’s here to help you. You can do it. Promise Mommy you can do it.”

 

ML answered,” I promise.”

 

“ Now,” I said,” Where do you go “ pee pee “ ?

ML said, “ Potty.”

I said,”  Yes, where is it ?”

ML said,” Bathroom.”

I said : “ Good!” Now, where you go “ poo pee “ ?”

ML said, “ Training pants.”

HA HA HA HA HA HA HA. Oh my!!!!!!!!!!! How innocent she was! I tried to hold my laugh. HA HA HA HA HA. I tried!
I said,” No, ML. We go to bathroom.” Now, where we go to brush teeth ?”

ML said,” Bathroom.”

I said,” Now…where we go to “ mandi “ ?

She said,” BLUE BATHROOM!”

YES!!!!!!!! That’s it!

 

Then, I reminded her again. Where to go pee pee ? She answered “ bathroom”. Where to go “ poo pee “, she said “ TRAINING PANTS”. DUH!!!!!!!!!! LOL

 

I corrected her,” bathroom”. She got “ bathroom”.

 

Finally, I read her fave story “ Purple Cupcakes “ ( instead of Pinkalicious,story about PINK CUPCAKES, I changed into “ purple “. Cos ML LOVEEESSSSSSSSSSSS PURLE. )  ^____^

 

Oh how I love her! Out of her “ accidents’, I know I love her. I will help her to handle it.Hopefully she can do it.I know she can do it

Story About ML's " Pre Preschool "

There she was! Her 1st day going to Pre Preschool at College Hill Presbyterian Nursery, 3C's. She insisted to put on her " princess shoes " ( she LOVES them.Blame on neneknya yg suruh pilih ini model sepatu thn lalu ). LOL 

She put on her nice dress and we're a lil late! . As we arrived, I asked ML if she wanted me to stay outside with her. She said," Mommy, you go." Geeee..... She rushed into the play room, and I didn't have a chance to say goodbye!

The director said it's better for me to leave, otherwise ML wouldn't stay in the class, cos she saw me.  Nah...she's wrong!

So, I left and delivered business cards for my friend ( ordered from Ronnie's company ).By the time I was done, I rushed back to the nursery and picked up ML.

Got a note from her teacher about her " princess shoes". LOL. Teacher wanted ML put on gym shoes next time, in order to avoid any accidents during the play time. Yeah!

ML was proud showing me her " fingers and feet prints ". Love it! She didn't let me hold it.She said," I show you,Mommy." HA HA HA HA HA.

We stopped by at Mom's house. ML greeted Lucky at the backyard, gave him a kiss ( awwwww! ) and showed Lucky her drawing..She saw Tader in the kitchen and said," Tader, come here. I show you." HA HA HA HA HA HA.

Grandma came from the basement and ML said," Grandma..grandma.. I show you. My drawing. My fingers and feet." HA HA HA HA HA. My... how happy she was!

Then, we had some snacks there. We continued going to the library. I thought ML deserved some time to play game. So,she played a couple, and we left after 1.5 hours.

I took ML to Mc.D, we had nice lunch.Time to go home, it's already past 4 pm! Oh my!!! Long day!

Soon, Daddy came home and asked about our day. I told him," I'm worn out." HA HA HA HA HA HA. ML showed Daddy her drawing.She put it by the refrigerator.

What a lovely day! Can't wait to see ML have fun with her new friends again on Fridays

New Orleans BBQ Shrimp Style( Dry )

Description:
I was attempted to cook Southern meal. It looks interesting for me, so I tried. I did it. It turned out good. The smells of strong seasonings really takes me back to the South :D

I modify the recipe a lil bit, make it dry version.

http://thehogblog.com/?p=177

Ingredients:
1pound raw shrimp, heads and shells on, well rinsed and drained
1 tsp lightly salted butter
1 tsp premium beer ( I used Rum, or can be substitued with wine )
1/2 cup extra virgin olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
3 bay leaves
1/4 cup Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon creole seasoning (I prefer Tony Cachere’s)
1/2 teaspoon cayenne
12 dash fresh rosemary
1-2 dash fresh oregano
1/2 teaspoon crushed whole peppercorns
1 dash salt
1/2 tsp teaspoon ground black pepper
lemon juice, or sliced lemon
French Bread or plain rice for side dish



Directions:
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
Rinse the shrimp under cold running water and let drain.
Spread in 1 layer in a large roasting pan or baking dish.
Melt the butter in a large saucepan.
Add the remaining ingredients, except the shrimp and bread, and stir to mix well and bring to a simmer for 10 minutes.
Remove from the heat and pour over the shrimp.
Bake in the oven until the shrimp are pink and cooked through, 30 to 40 minutes, stirring occasionally to keep the shrimp from drying out.

Remove from the oven and pour into a large serving bowl, or individual bowls to be peeled and eaten at tableside, with hot French bread for dunking in the sauce.
