Weekends

Why do weekends have to end so fast. I usually have a list of things which have to be accomplished over a weekend, but barely manage to make a dent on it. I don't know if my expectations for the weekend are very high or I just don't do enough to complete everything for the weekend.

Friday is a beautiful start to a weekend - full of promise and expectations. Then Saturday rolls in with a fully packed schedule - most of which remains undone. Last comes Sunday with the realization that the weekend is over and nothing much has been done!!

This weekend we took the kids to see the new Mr. Bean movie called "Mr. Bean's Holiday". This was the second movie that they have seen in the theater (the first being Happy Feet). The Pilot is such a huge fan of Mr. Bean, that except for one short toilet break, she sat through the entire movie absolutely transfixed. And those of you who know him, will agree that sitting through a 90 minute movie with just one toilet break is a great achievement for him. Well the movie was classic Rowan Atkinson with not much dialog but plenty of action. The theater was filled with kids of all ages and looks like this movie will be a huge hit here in Singapore.

The Pilot and the Princess fell sick (cough and cold) over the weekend too so this weekend was filled with stuff to do. I took them to the doctor on Sunday and although the Pilot didn't have it too bad, the Princess's chest was filled with phlegm. WE have been given loads of medicines and have been asked to monitor her. If it persists for over 4-5 days, i have to take her back to the GP and then he will ask me to take her to the hospital for an x-ray. I am actually thinking of not taking her to the GP tomorrow and instead getting an appointment with her pediatrician on Saturday for a second opinion. What do you all say?
