Where's my mood?

I don't know about you guys, but whenever I want to do something, say organise a party, or do my laundry, or ride a bike, i need to have the mood to do so... like i have to 'feel' like doing it. If I don't have the mood, I don't think I want to do it..

i guess most people are like that. but of course, there are things like doing your laundry or ironing can sometimes be done without the mood but i just simply don't like to see my laundry basket overflowing. Oh well, back to my mood story.

So anyway, Hero hasn't been well (read: diarrhea, vommiting, possible ear infection, flu/cold for more than 2 weeks, etc) and up until today, he is still having diarrhea. Thank goodness though he's fully toilet trained, although at times we wished he would do it in his diapers at night, because we have to drag our butts to the toilet since he insist on doing it in the toilet. So, anyway, little princess's birthday is this Friday, and I have planned so much! I thought of wanting to create my own personal invite card for her, buy party stuffs, conduct cute and fun activities for the kids, play musical chair, bubbles, etc. But somehow, my son is not well, and being a mother, I am worried. I brought him to the doctor, and today i'll be bringing him again. They kinda have no idea what is wrong with him. And the fact that he's not his usual self, makes me feel sad. So yeah, I don't feel like doing her birthday, but pity Princess. So I guess I should either:

a. quickly find my 'mood'..so if anyone has it, can you please give it back? I really need it urgently
b. make a simple birthday party minus all those fancy shcmancy stuff and with the absent of my mood - i reckon it wouldn't turn out great, but who knows?
c. cut a cake for princess, take pics and pretended that we had a birthday (she's too young, she wouldn't remember anyway) and when she's older, we'll just show the pics and make as though she had an awesome first birthday party...hehe (i like this one as i don't have to cook a lot of food)

So, yeah.......i'm not sure what to do. I thought of making nasi minyak and ayam masak merah for my guests (CikJu and family, Mynn and family, Salina n Muzaffar, my neighbours -2 family, Ida and family, etc) but my mom (yes, my mom's here!!!! best kan?) said that nasi minyak is for weddings and Raya, so she told me to fry noodles, etc instead. I'm telling you, I'd rather cook nasi minyak then fry noodles (as i'm not good at frying, my shoulder might dislocate, or it wouldn't taste as nice since I tak suka gaul2..hehe.alasan. usually, i would ask my personal sous chef -chef Hafiz - to help me 'gaul' the stuffs already in the wok (especially when there's just so much stuff in it)..)..

So, that's the story...... no mood Sheri trying to organise a birthday party for dear daughter who's turning 1... while her son's not feeling well. In between that, finishing PhD proposal (thank goodness the second draft's already emailed to supervisor today..so boleh relax)...

My mom came on Saturday, and at least it's good that she's here since Hero's not well and I need to do my PhD stuffs. She witnessed how Koala-like Princess is (she thought I was exxagerating).. I got loads of stuff from Malaysia.. oh i miss home.. but glad that my mom's here. I'm gonna get sooo homesick again when she goes back, I so can't deal with good byes..! Let's not think about unhappy stuff first, shall we?

So, anyway..that's my dilemma. So what should I do? Call it off? What say you? Vote now! pick either a, b or c and sms to..er..i mean, and comment at the box below. Thank you :) If you have any suggestion, feel free to say so.

Take care
