Another Ramadan comes to an end

Today is the last day of Ramadan, which means tomorrow is the first day of Eid.
The kids have all got their Eid clothes bought and are ready for the holiday. They are so excited. I am dreading it. Eid to me is very, very, very boring. I have two days of sitting at my in-laws house listening to the women gossip and babble on about the things they find exciting (and I find boring). The kids will be on a sugar high from all the sweets and candy they will be stuffing themselves with and of course they will have a ton of fun things to do, such as playing with balloons, noisy toys and pellet guns. Of course I will bring my camera and take pictures of the excitement, along with panadol to try to stave off the headache I'm sure I'll be getting.

Have a safe and happy holiday - Eid Mubarak!

    Eid Mubarak, Youve certainly summed up my feeling of it all. Get dressed up to sit and feel totally uncomfortable in one persons house to anothers. Or have a woman dragged in my home feeling the same way I do in others. AWFUL!!

    I would love to celebrate Eid by sleeping and eating waffles with NO kids and NO company :)
