Bye bye Bluebirds

I am off to Kerala on a 15-day vacation tonight. Right now I feel I will miss the cyberworld terribly but once I am there, I know I wont have time to think much about it. It will temporarily cure my Internet addiction.
Attending a wedding, a trip to Poovar near Trivandrum (I will try to look at it as a belated wedding anniversary treat from V) and checking out Ayurveda treatment for Ash in Trivandrum is on the cards during the one week that V will be there. He returns to Chennai on 25th.
The maid will go to her mother's home ( I dont think she wants to go to her drunkard husband's place) and promises to come back on 30th, when we have to pack up our bags too. I hope this maid wont give us any shocking surprises in the last minute. She does seem keen on returning. I understand our house, despite the din created by the two little ones, is heaven for her compared to her Gulf stint. Apparently she didnt get 4 months' pay for working in an Arab household; they also didnt give her a moment to breathe.
But I dont expect a Malloo maid to be grateful. How much ever we do for them, they go back and bitch...
Almost through with packing the bags between sleepless nights (thanks to an itchy Ash) and flaring tempers. Most of the luggage are the kids's clothes and stuff. In spite of it, when I am there I will find that I didnt take enough along. Worse, if the rains are on and clothes cant be dried fast enough.
Cancelled Ash's appointment with Vijaya today. We have to see how to work out his sessions once school starts, since Vijaya is available from 10 am-1 pm only. Or I will have to change the therapist. But Ash likes her though she is stern. "Let's take an auto and go to Vijaya aunty," he tells me sometimes.
And today morning, he was so upset with us parents (for shouting at him for giving us sleepless nights) that he told me: "Amma, I want to go to sister's school. I want to go to Appacha and Ammachi and Bruno and the hens."

See ya.
