Breakfast and Feeding the Kids

How do you survive your mornings while getting the kids ready for school?

Naalala ko dati, pandesal parati ang almusal ko.  1 to 2 pcs, with butter and sugar. Treat na kung may peanut butter. Elementary ako nun at past 5am ang sundo ng school bus. Tapos merong recess sa umaga, then lunch, then sundo na ng 3:30pm. Pag uwi, 4pm na, merienda ng spanish bread or kung anu man. Dinner is at 7pm, after the news.

Napaisip tuloy ako, madami ba ang pinapakain ko sa mga chikiting ko? For breakfast, usually:
- a bowl of oatmeal with banana and/or coco crunch
- ham, egg and cheese muffin (parang sa McDo)
- sausage (or ham), egg and rice with ketchup
- 1 slice of bread with peanut butter and slices of banana
- toasted sandwhich: egg and cheese
- quiche (made with eggs, potato, veggies and ham/bacon/sausage)


Gusto ko sana walang drama sa umaga kasi nakakapagod rin ang manuway at madaliin ang mga kids. I try to get them to bed early para maaga rin sila magising. But lately, past 7am na sila bumabangon, very late na for me kasi approximately 1 hour sila kung kumain. Kasama na dun ang pagiging tulala, kulitan at kung anu-ano pang distraction while eating. Si Rose kapag tinapay ang almusal, ang tagal bago maubos. She doesn't like eating yung gilid ng tasty so kailangan pa pilitin.

Ang payat ni Max! Parang kami ni Alan nung bata. But he has 2 snacks in the morning, and lunch at 1pm, then meron din siya merienda for after school. Around 5pm or past 5pm na kasi siya nasusundo. pag uwi sa bahay, merienda ulit. Then dinner at 6:45pm. Hindi ko siya pinagbabaon ng kanin. Usually something na meat with bread.

Si Rose, merong morning tea (9am), lunch and afternoon snack na crackers at daycare.

I may be running out of ideas. I just want our mornings hassle free/ fight-free. Hay!
