Weekend 18-19/2

The tummy problem stayed all over the weekend. On Saturday it was really painful. Spend the afternoon laying on the bed trying to minimize the pain. Some pressure release did the trick and was feeling OK in the evening. Was really tired however. SO early sleep, but not a very peaceful one. First the fireworks around midnight, people watching TV in the middle of the night and my kids whining didn't make much of a peaceful sleep. Though they seemed quite OK Aida didn't have much problem with coughing and Adam just woke up crying once. Nightmare.

Realised that I got nauseous as soon as I ate too much (which is not very much in a normal sense). So had a cup of coffee, slice of bread and two corn crackers for breakie. Adam had his standard ,messy poo in the morning so gave him a shower early on. After that just waiting till everybody is ready to go. Actually didn't wait until everybody was ready. Left first, really got nauseous on the roads last year so better go first and have the chance to stop without interfering anybody else. Trip went well and reach Paloh (my mother in laws "hometown", village really) around 11. Kids didn't sleep as good as thought.
Got there and the munching started. Took it carefully due to my tummy. Aida favored the crisps, keropok and the 100plus and so did I in fact. Tried the other stuff as well; kuih rose, pineapple tart, cornflake cookies, love letters and many more. After that they served lunch, didn't feel hungry and didn't dare to eat so I lay down and relaxed instead.
The kids enjoyed all the other kids to play with. Though Adam got carried around a lot.
Tried to leave at 15 something. Got a short distance when we realised that we forgotten the camera bag, so turned back.
Got a bit further this time when we realised we forgotten Adam's beaker. So back we went again.
Went to Ayer Hitam to see if they had any cheap potter and other stuff. Ended up getting a Barney bolster fort Aida, a big Garfield cushion and a conkat game.
Got home and prepared kids for the night and our selves. Put the kids to be around 21. The one to fall a sleep first was me. No wonder after the crappy sleep the night before.
So when Norida was "rocking" Adam to sleep Aida came out of the bedroom and demanded rocking to sleep as well. I woke up briefly when Norida carried Aida to bed, but that was more or less the only time I woke during the night. Slept so tight we missed Fajar. Forgot the alarm clock and kids usually wake up, so you don't even need it.
