First of all, let me tell you that the Madonna concert truly, madly and deeply SUCKED THE BIG ONE. It was the general consensus on Abu Dhabi Woman (the local ladies chat forum-I am Scout btw). She came on the stage at 10:45 (over an hour after her opening act DJ quit, and the audience had been listening to the same MJ cd on repeat), and quite honestly, 90% of us could not see anything. She appeared to have a brilliant stage set-up...but we certainly couldn't appreciate it. Madge tried to go Tarantino the first act of her show, and it was just too much--give me sexy-naked Madonna over crazy-killer Madonna any day!...Peter and I left around 11:30 (leaving our friends Ajay, Bruce, Regina and LYDIA behind), and both felt that our fatigue the next morning was all for nothing. I expected more, and can see why the MDNA album sales are so poor. Thankfully we did not pay for that crappy experience.
Now, onto today.
Today I learned about just how unexpected and surprising life can be (again).
As I was still in the hazy place between sleep (a state I entered around 5 am) and waking (around 7:11) this morning, I would have never predicted that:
(a) there would be some (possibly dangerous?) winged creature making itself at home on my dining room shelf, where I display both precious objects and children's toys.
(b) Smile-ah FIVE TEETH (confirmed that number today) would pee on the sofa.
(c) Little A would start back up with the barfing today.
(c) N would recite the beginning of "Humpty Dumpty" (in his own language of course) while balancing precariously on the back of the sofa.
(d) Peter would leave a pen in his dress shirt pocket and I would have to use my 'emergency stain removal measures' (hairspray) to eliminate it (and also to impress the crap out of Malou).
...and all of that was before 10:30 this morning.
Smile-ah opted not to have an afternoon nap today (after 30 minutes of listening to her scream and play I gave up--YOU WIN Smile-ah!!). Little A drank a lot of mint tea and managed to keep down the rest of her food AND have a solid poop. I never DID find that winged creature...I sure hope it doesn't bite anybody tomorrow!
Tomorrow I need to start preparing for her birthday party (this Saturday...she is REALLY excited) and next week we will start preparing for our trip.
The coughs are still lingering around here...Peter's is THE WORST (followed second by little A).
