April Fool's Thoughts

It's the first day of the month, it's Friday and it is April Fool's Day. On any other days, I really don't think that there is anything distinctly significant about that.

But today is kind of special. Well...let me rephrase that.

Today feels somewhat special simply because I'm now only left with 2 whole days of work for next week. By mid next week, I'm off work in lieu of a Thai public holiday and then, we will be off for our annual vacation over Songkran.

Actually, it is a little bit more extra special because this time, there will be 3 of us instead of the usual two.

I'm excited, but somewhat apprehensive. What is gnawing at me is the fact that I don't know what awaits us when travelling long haul with Spud in tow. She is still nursing her cold and not feeling a 100% with her blocked, constantly runny nose. I don't know how Spud willl behave and that to a certain extend bothers me. I have, of course, heard of babies screwing up their bedtime completely due to jet-lag when they come back this way, and let me tell you one thing: I'm certainly NOT looking forward to that.

I am hoping that for now, her cold will subside soon...or I'm sure we will be in for quite a tough time. Knowing what Spud is usually like though, cold or no cold, I'm not really counting on her making it all too easy for us.  Come to think of it, it will not be Spud-like if she makes it too easy for her parents.

Perhaps, it will be more fun that way.
