After the post about his snoring Mr. Man decided to redeem himself. This weekend, the last weekend of the month, I stay in Bahrain. The kids tend to enjoy it, especially Jihad and it gives them a chance to play outside with no real time restraints and truth be told it is much more relaxing for me. However Mr. Man doesn't like Bahrain, contrary to what some people think not every Saudi guy wants to come over to Bahrain and get drunk. And this is basically what Mr. Man equates Bahrain with, a bunch of drunks. I know not fair at all but he prefers to be in Saudi and that is his choice.
This weekend he took Umar, Mariam and Hannah to Saudi and I stayed in Bahrain with Jihad and Leyna. Yesterday we went to dinner, it was less hectic with only two and tried to see a movie. However with half of the Saudi, Kuwaiti, and Qatari population deciding this weekend was the best time to see movies in Bahrain we were out of luck. So we rented three movies, stayed up late and ate too much chocolate. It was nice nights sleep, I only woke up once when Leyna decided to join me in my bed and I slept in. With only two they can pour their own cereal and I don't have to be bothered so much.
I also did what I haven't done in a long time... scrapped! I miss it. The creative outlet for me is a necessity and lately I've been feeling like a major slacker for not doing more. I hardly take pictures anymore, I'm not sure why, and I've hit an all time low in slumpville. I didn't create anything spectacular, just a simple LO that took me too long to finish but it did a least spark a desire to do more.
Perhaps Mr. Man noticed that I don't get much sleep and it really isn't fair. Or perhaps he decided to be a great husband thinking only of his wife. Or perhaps his motive was entirely selfish, not wanting to stay in Bahrain and have Umar all at the same time. Whatever it was I'm sure glad he decided to give me some time, it was nice of him. Now if I can only get more weekends like this, next time with absolutely no kids around and do it at a spa than Mr. Man would be super husband of the year!! (yes Mr. Man take that as a hint)
I even completed a second one!! I really do need more time like this.
