Mommies like routine. Ok this mommy likes Medium Boy and Small Boy to have a routine. I really believe that little ones behave better when they know what to expect next.
Holidays are a time of relaxing the routine, hence it wrecks havoc with my own routine.
The Husband on the other hand thinks nothing of disrupting the routine to go off on adventures..... Swimming. Beach combing. Watching a centipede make its way across the pavement. Aargh. Drives me crazy.
Things get even crazier when these adventurous activities eat into nap time. For then, I have 2 half-sleepy boys on my hands who are prone to sudden bursts of energy in between their general lethargy.
I have put my foot down and insist that their adventures tomorrow are confined to the morning. 3 days without naps is messing up my own routine! I miss the time to potter around the house, do my own things without having to act as a referee every 10 minutes, or thinking up activities to keep both Medium Boy and Small Boy occupied.
Having the other set of grandparents watching like hawks over our everyday activities (since when did my life become a soccer match for your commentary.....) is also not fun.
I miss Singapore, my own home, even though the weather is still hazy.
Reckon I am having an AARGH moment.
Breathe Celine breathe.....
