hi ladies!!! Been a while since I log in here. The workload is crazy! I am often so deprived of zzz!! basically, the main reason for the lack of zzz is cos my gal rejecting bottles after happily latching for first 3 mths. as she hibernates in the day to avoid the bott, she wakes up more at night...

Diza, I hv same sentiments as yours. I Luv teaching but with so many things on hand, difficult to cope. Before I had kids, I was very hardworking n could work till late. I was even enjoying preparing materials for class. Now it seemed such a waste of time to do so when I could hv spend the time...
