it’s the saturday of raya weekend and we’re staying put at home. in fact, the spell of inertia is so great that we ordered for pizza to be delivered at our doorstep for dinner tonight. fact is, we’re simply too lazy to lug around the kids to go visiting – and that’s just TWO kids. our energy and enthusiasm evaporate so rapidly now. i think we’re getting old. :p

i was apprehensive enough before the first day of raya, thinking of how the baby’s naps will be disrupted every so often. the first time we had a kid during raya, he was already a walking toddler, so we’ve never had a baby to carry around during raya, which is actually kinda of a hassle despite the convenience of our own vehicle.

needless to say, my new baju was slobbered with saliva, snot and spit-up within minutes. so much for my valiant attempt to look passably presentable as a mother of two in glittery clothes and high heels. sheesh!

we didn’t last very long this year – by 9pm we all waved the white flag, what with two tired, sticky-bodied babies and four overstimulated, sugar-high kids amongst us, threatening to crash and burn.

nevermind, we’ll make up for it, err, next year. when there will, hopefully, be a refreshing absence of baby saliva, snot and spit-ups.
