Kids Feeling Better and Loving School = Happy Mum

Its a good new week. Both kids are definitely feeling almost 100% well. Putra is back to his destructive behaviour... hahaha ransacking every drawers and off course checking out the fridge ALL THE TIME!! Definitely better than seeing him weak and dozing off on the sofa every few hours. The apartment definitely neater when he was sick though hahahaha but messy is good. As for Putri, Thank God she was only down for couple of days and she is well now.

I have been keeping Putra out from school for the whole week last week mainly because he was sick. Even Putri on the days when she doesn't seem herself I kept her at home. Why you ask? Its because of the HFMD (Hand Food Mouth Disease) that is spreading nationwide. So far up to date, there are 2 cases in her school so I am very careful about the kids health these days. We are lucky there were only 2 cases when few schools had to shut down for few weeks due to more outbreak amongst their students.

The kids are missing the playground and the pool but I think until the disease are under control nationwide, parents school keep their kids at home before and after school. According to the Ministry of Health, the number of children infected with HFMD this year is very worrying. When I heard about the 7year old with the brain damage due to this disease, it gave me the chill.

I think parents have to be responsible and keep their kids at home when they are feeling unwell. I have seen and heard how they are more worry about their kids missing out on lessons and they let the poor kids to school when they are still feeling weak.

I am glad I am a stay-at-home mum. I can feel for working mums who are constantly worry about their kids when they are in school especially kids who are in daycare and pre-school centres.

Anyway, I am a happy mum despite worrying all the time. Kids are feeling better and they simply loving school now. What more can a mum ask. :) hmmmm maybe a nice all day spa? hahahaha

So they are now on multivitamins with added Vit C and Omega 3 supplements. As for myself and hubby we are on Vit C and Calcium supplements since age is catching up on us... hahahaa don't want to break any bones while chasing those rascals.....:)

So wishing everyone with good health and good spirit everyday. God Bless!
