Its over..

It was over during the weekend. 7 Days. Not exactly 7 days, though. DH came back at 5.30 pm. The kids were estatic. I bought the dolls during Friday lunch time and kept them in the closet. I bought books too just to kill the time during the most challenging part of opening the boxes and trying to put things together. The Mariposa's wings are very big, and difficult to put them in. Then the screw at the back of Willa fall off, we could not fix it that time. A patience test for DH. I should complaint to Mattel that their Barbies has quality problems. 5 Barbies all together, I had none during my early years. I wished for a very very big teddy bear but my father was not that rich at that time. DH gave me my first very very big teddy bear during Valentine's Day in 1997. Those were the days. But I do like Luciana doll, she is prettier than Ro (the Island Princess), Mariposa, Willa and Kitchen Barbie. The Kitchen Barbie was Nabilah's 4th year birthday present from Meon and Farah Hanaa.

But somehow, I felt disturbed during the evening while giving them dinner. They were quarelling on the sticker book. Najihah wanted to have some hand on her sister's book. Obviously Nabilah would object as sharing things are not easy at this stage. Without much thinking, DH scolded me for buying the sticker books for them. How could him! I was driving like mad during the lunch time to get those Barbies ready for him and the books are just side things to distract them while he was busy unpacking the boxes and fixing things. Not even a thank you, and what I got was a blunt remark. Sometimes things are very unfair, and sometimes you even got it from someone you treasure the most.

Ironically, when I was unpacking his stuffs from the trip, I found nicely folded T-shirts, shirts and trousers. Only a few unwashed clothes and I managed to settle everything in less than an hour. This morning, I realized that there is no perfect man in this world. Saying thank you, for DH is not as easy I can think of. His actions may reveal thousand things about him that I just could not understand at this moment. It is kind of weird but he is the man I have chosen to be with.

Looking at the brighter side, the kids are simply more affectionate to their father after a week of absence. Lucky me, should have more time to read and rest after work.
