Post 58. {AZRA} Its finally school holidays, and my body instantly went into relaxed mode but now comes the drama of what to do with the kids everyday, how to keep them entertained. Before it was so simple, pick a spot, scream for Alicia to get them ready and go... Now just the thought of getting things ready for a day out can give me a headache. Shame I must phone Alicia and find out how shes doing, if she came right with those references I gave her or what. I really miss her! As for school reports, shukr both boys did well, although Im upset at Ahmed. I expected a few awards from him, but except for sports, he came home with nothing for academics, which is kind of unfair, because the whole year his marks were excellent. It was just this term, and then to make matters worse when they phoned Faizels parents to talk to them and fil asked how was the reports and why did he do so bad? He couldnt even say well done, no, he questions him like that !!! I havent sent them madressah for this pass two weeks, because it was tuition, extra murals, studying etc and now I have Saj breathing down my neck about how Im choosing school over madressah. She has only one child, what does she know but its extremely difficult to do both. I should look for an apa that does three times a week maybe from next year or one that does every sat in the morning at least, and maybe check if theres one thats willing to come home, thatll be even easier for me! There were so many fun days planned for the last few days of school, so everyday I had to make something, pancakes, cake pops, popcorn. The one day I just fried samoosas, I think the teachers ate more than the kids lol ! At least now that Faizel is working again, I can reclaim my title of dessert queen. Weve agreed that no over-the-top extravagances for a while still, but no cutting back on food things :D Ahmed and Hamzah want their friends over for a playdate today to come swim and have a mini braai and so the holiday begins. I take out sausages, I ordered cocktail rolls, I make little mash and noodle salad. Then I bought those small little cokes for each child, few packets crisps, some homemade sweets and then ice cream, and I set up the outside area for them, so they dont end up making a mess of the house :) Now that Su is better and almost up and about, I want to plan a nice relaxing picnic day one of the weekends. Faizel is always complaining we love the malls too much, this holiday we need to do different things but the malls are having fun activities also...ok ok maybe Ill just go once a week. Maybe for the Teenage mutant ninja turtles show at Sandton or the Dino Expo at Botanical gardens or the Spongebob/Dora show at Vodaworld. At least theres lots of things to choose from ;) So this is our first year were not going on a holiday. Faizel said we can do Durbs but then I have to stay over two days at his mother and she doesnt even have domestic help so Ill have to clean and cook and thats not a holiday for me. Then we phoned around and the prices YOH :/ I mean I dont want to buy the resort I just want a break :D so looks like we sitting at home, at least I have the pool so that should keep them busy. I just make homemade pizzas for supper. I made chicken, steak and polony toppings because each one likes different toppings. I cut up mushrooms and peppers and grate the 2 kinds of cheese. I have a new obsession, online shopping. Its so bad, Im pretty sure Im addicted, I even shop at checkers like that now and they deliver it! Its all Careemas fault really :p She got me hooked on it. I browse through and see a stunning shoe at Zando, its marked down for R299 which is not bad at all, it was R599 so technically its a bargain...buy :) Faizel is going to kill me but I cant stop myself, my biggest weakness in life is shoes. I love shoes, high heels, pumps, wedges, sneakers, boots, flat sandals, anything really. Faizel gets home early and we have supper, when he says I have a surprise for you guys We all sitting and waiting, Faizel says My company is sending me to Capetown for ten days next week, and its a family room so as long as we pay for transport the accomodation is free, which means we going on a holiday The boys and I all start screaming and shouting, Where we staying, are we driving down, are we flying down You can hear the excitement in the kids voices :) Faizel says hes thinking of offering his parents and Abeda to join us before she gets married...WHAT? They have family in Capetown so his parents can stay there and when hes free we can all go out together for meals. No ways this will be bad. I need to change his mind but how ??? Yes, I have a plan, I go to our room and close the door and quickly call my mum. Mummy dont you want to join us to Capetown? Please please or else Faizel wants to take his parents and Abeda. Can you imagine me on holiday with them? We staying at some 4 star place, but mummy can book at the Hilton then we can meet everyday. My mum first makes the be a good dil speech but says shell ask my dad. I tell her that theyve been working too hard and need a break too, and guilt her by saying its been a long time since she spent fun-time with the kids :) She bbms me 15 minutes later and says we coming, Ill book the plane and hotel tommorow, dad said well stay in the same hotel as you, its not a problem or we can upgrade you... As we laying in bed that night, I casually say to Faizel Oh guess what ?? My parents are also booked in Capetown the same week as us. She was so happy when she called now and I said we also going. It will be so nice with your parents and mine Faizel says Uh I dont think Ill ask my parents then, you know they feel abit uncomfy with your parents, so maybe next holiday we can go somewhere with my parents Oh I forgot about that I lie. But thats a good idea baby (Ill work on him next time again hehehehehe) I thank Faizel and tell him how much I appreciate him, I know I dont make things easy for you and Im demanding and difficult but I love you Faizel. I love that even though the business went down you never gave up, you kept your head high up and got a job. Everyday you come home with a smile on your face, leave early in the morning and even travel so much, I know its not easy but you do it just for us. Thank you baby Faizel gives me a tight hug Oh Az I love you sooo much, and I do this all because I love you guys. There were so many days I felt like giving up but your smile, your face, you and the kids have kept me going. The joy on you guys faces when I bring anything or do anything makes me so happy mwaah I lay in his arms and thank Allah for giving me Faizel and my kids. They really are such blessings :) Oh Faiz, while you in a good mood, I kind of did some shopping again I tell him He burst out laughing, Let me a guess, someone had shoes on sale, what am I going to do with you Az, theres never a dull moment with you ...
