There are 7 people in our household, including our house help. The burden of making each of our birthdays special falls on my shoulders. 7 out of 12 months in year, I plan a celebration for the birthday celebrant. Then, factor in Christmas and New Year's Eve celebrations. I usually bake a cake for these special days too. This is really draining and I am running out of options.
During this time of pandemic, I plan meals 3x a day. My children ask what we're having for the next meal when we've barely finished what's laid on the table. I am fed up. (Pun intended). I am past the Pinoy, Japanese, Korean, Italian and Thai food cravings. How I wish I can take my family out for a meal, where they get to decide what to eat.
What irks me is my birthday is coming up in a couple of weeks. I do not want to tire myself preparing for my own celebration. I never bake my own birthday cake too. I need ideas. What do I order? Where? Ugh.
