I guess He has reasons for everything that's planned out for us. Somehow it falls into place.
We are officially hibernating for the next 2 weeks.
Amira had a slight fever yesterday. After a good 3 hr shopping stroll at Mustafa & a hearty lunch with the in-laws at Sedap Corner, she appeared very lethargic & we thought she's still not over her flu & cough virus that's been bugging her for the past weeks. I noticed a little blister near her lips. I thought it was just made worse because of her scratching due to an insect bite. At night, she was slightly warm. In the morning then I noticed red little spots all over her body & arms. My worst fear was confirmed by our family doctor. Yes, its the dreaded pox. Our next worry was Amirul. But Dr said that we could try, but he could not guarantee he wont be infected. So we went ahead & got him vaccinated. At least, he assured us, if he contracts it, it would be a mild one. Thank God for the school holidays & Alhamdulillah for our unplanned trip to nowhere.
My next worry is WHAT TO DO for the next 2 weeks - INDOORS.
I first digged up all the paper crafts that I could find, any fancy paper that I could use & make something arty-farty for them to cut, paste, fold, roll & create anything & whatever. They were excited that they finally get to paint after requesting it for the past weeks & one of these days, I promise them a baking session.
The first day so far was not too bad. The kids busied themselves with the mountain of toys & I just have to get ready the choice of DVDs that they could keep themselves glued to for a few hours. Perhaps tomorrow I could teach them monopoly or stick to the basic card games like 'Old Maid' or 'Snap' which have been sitting pretty for the longest time & will finally see their presence made full use of.And the sick girl is not even remotely looking like an infected kid. Yakking & running around the house suddenly excited with the number of things to do & the ummi suddenly gleefully acceding all her requests. Not even the drowsy medicine could calm her down ;p
The best part of it all is that I can once again have my K-drama marathon,once again..:) after I get them kids occupied that is.
Welcome back Gong Yoo & Joo Ji Hoon....
