Niki comes home tonight! After her being away for two weeks in Sydney, I have come to the end of my run as "Mr Mum" and I think if I can blow my own trumpet, it has gone well.
The girls have had lunches and dinners without resorting to mass orders of take away food and the dishes have been done and the laundry upkept.
I have been able to get away early from work each day and the girls have been able to get home from school to wait for me really well.
I should also say that with the girls being the ages that they are (11 and 9) that they have been really mature and responsible with what they have had to do and Kate has had a key to the house and she hasnt lost it nor abused it. I am very proud of them!
So tonight, with Niki landing around 11pm, it will be a dinner out at the kids place of choice - Chili's or McDonalds undoubtedly, but I may try to convince them to go to Fuddruckers and then we will probably look thru the mall and then onto to Abu Dhabi airport late to pick up their mum.
As for Niki's trip, her mum is recovering well from her surgery and I am glad Niki was able to get back to be there.
For us, the next holiday time is Eid al-Adha, and we're booked into the Indian Ocean side of the UAE for a couple of nights at Fujairah. That's going to be on 17-18 of November!
