Ne'er bring Aibz 2 work 1!

I've learnt a lesson today, not to get Aibz at work. He is still a child who demands attention from me even when he is given a PC and cartoon all to himself. There are umpteen number of questions that keeps popping up that brain, that i was doing nothing but tending to him !!

It looked like I was baby sitting at work...

By 11:30 am he wanted to go back home...he said he was bored with cartoons. He instructed me to close the browser and he goes "no more". I took him to the mall and thought he would be happy helping with groceries and would go back home. He would not let me return to work that I had to take the rest of the day off !!

So no more kids around at work, u ahrdly get work done !!

Weekend diary

Wonder why I should even bother blogging this !!!

We're back...all dead tired, ready to hit the bed. Abel's already feeling blue tat he left his grandparents. I've promised him to take him with me to work, thats the only thing that is keeping him on...!! Good for me :)

Yesterday was tiring enough, by the time we reached dubai, we got a call that Abel was already asking for us ..i.e by 6 AM. He is one child whose body clock does not lie. He was told that we would come to fetch him to take to church and h refused to be changed by anyone other than his mumma. B's mom tried to sweet talk him in to changing his mind n he went "my mumma will come". B's Dad like any concerned parent said, "he should not be so adamant that he will not change without his mommy around". Daddy pulled him to the washroom and this fella of mine started wailing. B's brother was against daddy and aske him to leave Aibz alone....so we both come on stage (ring the door) when this li'l guy was wailing.

We rushed to the washroom and went "Aibel'..n u shud have seen the way he cried even B was touched !! B moved to Aibz and took him in his arms. The moment he saw us he started to cry harder it looked as thoguh it was then it strked his little brain that. "I should be with my parents" Neyways..it was Dad n son time....B cleaned him up, helped him change...!!! But seriously he cried his lungs out when he saw us, he looked so sad that we had to hold him and assure him that we love him !!

It took another 20 mins for him to be the same old Aibz...in church it was fun, this fellow wanted to pass the offerty bag, n he went up to B as he was passing the bread n he goes "Dadda I want the bag". B was so annoyed that Aibz went up to him as he was giving the bread. In the end somehow he managed to stand in thr front row to pass the bag. LoL!! B says it looked like he was gettign ready for a running race as soon as the offerty was announced this fellow dashed !!

After church, we had a heavy lunch preparation, it must be the heat, i felt dizzy and could not see anything !! My first time ever..thank god B was around !!

Lunch was great, with Mom;s special mutton curry...took an afternoon nap.

In the evening we went to the Mall, we went looking for stuff for B's bro n in the end made B take 2 shirts..and trousers :) He really needed them coz the old ones look so loose on him now. Yea he has lost quite some..from 96 he's dropped down to 81 !!

I woke up very late this morning, only by around 8 or so. We attended the Ladies Meeting in Worship Center. It was Children's special day and they had puppet show, dance, songs et. Aibz refused to sit along with the otehr kids, he sat on my lap throughout the meeting !! I'd packed a tiny pack for atti and was hopin that B's bro would not mind taking it. It was less than half a kilo, but all he coul carry was 20 kgs since the ticket was booked from India. Anyways, no one said antyhing :) eee

For lunch Dad made Turkey ..it was yumm !! We did not sleep after lunch, aibz wanted to go with his Appapi to india..kept asking a lot of questions like "shall i come', can i come" why cant i come' etc etc..

We left home by about 5...!!

Watiin for the weekend

There are only few weekends that I look forward to...esp cpz it requires me to get up by 4:30 am, get ready to set out to Dubai..

I can;t wait for tomorrow, it seems like ages since my abel has left from home. When I called him this mroning he told me that he wanted me to get him chips n biscuits. Well kids are manipulative they know what to ask for and when !!

We've asled our nanny to make Banana fritters for the family, and some sweet to celebrate, will also take the turkey ..... !!! A few mins back the nanny called to say that she is done with the dessert adn needs me to be around for preparing the turkey and the fritters. I already feel so lazy..B has asked me to get ready to meet a friend of mine. We gotta get some papers from them. B's bro is leaving this saturday, n we may not come back until saturday night.

At work its just me...now, the place is so empty, I will try to get Abel here when he comes to AUH. Will have to put some cartoons on to keep this attention.

 A beautiful call, to walk with people  To share their tears, to lift a prayer, to stand with hope when none is there. Oh the joy our hearts...
