"Actually it was our vacation, not him.."

Have you ever been asked your kids to play hooky, I mean ‘deserted’ from school? I did 3 days ago.
You know, I asked them to join me to Makassar for 4 days vacation started from Saturday until Tuesday. They have already been schooling for 2 weeks (we’re earlier in starting the new semester here), so at first I think it was ok to write a permission letter to their teacher. Then I received difference responses from them.

Since our destination is a port city and full of beaches then the little one that’s still in K2 said: “Yeah, I wanna go with you, mom. I wanna play sand again at the beach.” The second boy, who always discipline and do everything in order said : “Gosh, mom…how could you ask me to do that? How if I left out my lesson, my teacher said there will be 2 tests on Monday. “The oldest one, my daughter who tends to be a relaxed and easy going person said: “Ok, never mind to ask a permit to my teacher. If there will be a test then I can do it the next day. I ever had done before. Wow, I couldn’t stand to be in the airport soon ..”.Look, 3 kids with 3 different thoughts… and it completed with one mother with ‘strange’ request. Lol!

We’re back from our vacation in Makassar -a port city at Sulawesi island-2 days ago. Finally all of my kids agreed to join us. We all have great time there. Right now I think my one leg still there and the other leg is here.
Actually it was my husband’s agenda to be there for 4 days for attending the Indonesian Ophthalmologist Association Annual Meeting. Since he got 2 complimentary rooms at the hotel to take the family there (so we’re only need to buy the airline tickets) that’s why I felt it was a pity if we didn’t take this rare opportunity :)

So there were 2 agendas for us while we were there:
My husband was busy with the meeting until late at night, I and the kids were busy too exploring the new exciting places. We’re all together only at breakfast in the hotel. So far I think it was our vacation, just for me and the kids, not for my hubby :) He only accompanied us on his half latest day.

By the way, back to my first question about playing hooky, am I a bad or good mom in this case? Haha… Of course the first one, no other choice and no need to ask !

Haven't Packed Anything

Today at 2 pm we're all going on weekend vacation -to Makassar-, another islands of where we're living now. It need couple of hours by plane and there's 1 hour difference in time zone. All of us are excited to this plan.
It's already 10.30 am now , but I have not packed yet all the stuff we want to take.
The big kids had already packed their stuff last night after I grumbled them to do it soon :)
I have to pick all the kids too from school in a moment, too.
But now look at me! I'm still stuck in front of my PC, busy answering my emails, visiting all my blogger friends.. Gosh, I couldn't just passed my friends blog without giving comments! Oh, I wish there is more then 24 hours today.

As usually mom is the only person that looks busy at this kind of time, preparing all thing for everybody! But not now for me :)
Later then an hour from now..
Have a nice weekend for all of you, too.
