Post Pox...

It's been awhile........

Been busy with Eid, then it was all those Eid gatherings @ the office and others' offices... and then as things started to get back to normal, Mysha, my sweet dear Mysha got the pox... arrrrggghhhh..... No No No.... Spotty day ahead!

Thankfully she was NOT totally covered in spots. Compared to Ridzuan last year, he got it worse. Mysha was, u could say a bit mild. Except for the spots, she was fine and dandy... walking around the house, finding something to drive mommy nuts, climbing here and there, snatching toys away from her brother, bugging her brother who just wants to watch his Playhouse Disney Channel unbothered by baby sist except she's got spots all over her.... I remember last year when Ridzuan got the chicken pox he seemed so tired, he was very quiet, he just laid there in front of the tv watching playhouse disney all day long except nap times. Their siblings, but they are most of the times totally opposite of each other...

2 things for sure :
They both love to drive mommy crazy
They both want to have mommy's attention on them more than the other...

Who gains for the latter? Mommy!!! Yeay! Because both with have a kissing contest, who kisses mommy last... Mommy willingly oblige my dears.... I think I've strayed too far, hehehehee...

Anyway... thursday afternoon 2 weeks ago, we got a text from my sister-in-law that my husband's aunty passed away in Johor... So early Friday morning, we left KL to go pay our respects. We were supposed to pick up atok (FIL) @ 3am, but nobody heard the alarm screaming its lungs out untill it was 4am... Both my husband and I rushed to get ready before scooping the kids from the bed (yup, we just scooped them up and didn't even bother to shower them....). by the time we left KL it was already 6am... better late than never, right?

After we've paid our respects we headed back to KL, with pit stops along the way.... Visits to my husband's aunt and uncle's place and then a night stay @ Mahkota Melaka... The kids had fun, Mysha with her chicken pox and all...

Oh, yeah.... I haven't wrote on when she got it... Well, Thursday afternoon I was informed that the chickens were on the loose. When we got home we got the text about my husband's aunt. On the way to Johor the next day, around 10am or so, I was playing with Mysha in the car when I noticed something in between her fingers... Oh, No! could it be?! It looked like chicken pox... I searched for more of those tiny bumps with water but only found another one near her left ear. When we arrived in Johor there was what seemed like mosquito bites on her back and later on @ the hotel more mosquito bites appeared.... Early next morning those so-called bites look alike turned into chicken pox spots ready to burst any time..... So that's what I've been up to the past 2 weeks; caring for my spots-full (is there such a word? hehehe) sweet daughter Mysha...

Now I'm back @ the office (3rd day) and I feel so drained out! Yikes... The cause? Not really because of taking care of Mysha, but more of after work shopping for 2 straight days and coming home close to midnight (because of the shopping of course!)... I so wish to crawl into bed right now..... hmmmm, a good foot massage would be even better....
