First night alone

My first night alone in Thailand.  I knew it would happen sooner or later as Marcus as obligations with other engine plants in other countries.  This trip however was just an overnighter to Bangkok to have dinner with some company vice president and then go to a seminar and meet and greet suppliers the next day.  I handled it pretty well I think.  The kids and I did our usual routine, playtime, a walk around the village, ordered dinner at the restaurant, bath time then bed time.  Not very exciting.  It did get a bit lonely after the kids went to sleep, there was nothing on TV as usual, and I found I wasn't very sleepy.  I snuck into Judds room and gently picked him up and carried him into my bedroom to sleep in our bed.  BIG mistake.  He may look all peaceful and cute while he is asleep, but he kicks and rolls around and snores!  He woke up at 1.30am to go to the toilet and realised he wasn't in his room and woke me up to ask why. Then he struggled to get back to sleep.  And to top it off in the morning, he woke up at 6.00am and lovingly woke me up too to ask for breakfast.  Ah what a night.  I wont be making that mistake again.  The next day however I decided to do some shopping to make up for the fact that Marcus got to go out to fancy restaurant in Bangkok and I got to sleep with a kicking and snoring child.  Judd and I found a not so little crockery market and I bought some vases for 20baht each, that like 80cents!  I also bought this weird looking floor cushion that I have seen around Thailand.  It has a triangle back rest and folds out to about body length.  It is really very comfortable.  I am typing this while sitting on it right now.  It was 670baht which was about $20.  It is kind of heavy but I plan to take it back to Aust with us when we eventually return home.  It felt good to get out with just Judd and visit the shops and take my time checking things out.  I left Lillie with the nanny, who she has come to really love.  She cries whenever Rainy leaves for home.  It is so cute.  I am glad she likes her though as it makes it much easier for me to leave her while I go and do my shopping.  It is just way too hard to shop with kids here.  The sidewalks are bumpy and full of holes or covered in market stalls and then Judd refuses to walk after 10 mins and starts to cry.  It is very stressful for me and made worse by the fact that it is really very hot and I cant stop sweating.  Gross I know, but its the truth.
Now it is the weekend and we plan to take the kids to the beach and get some sunshine.  It rains here nearly every day lately and storms about once a day too.  But today the sun is out and I plan to make the most of it.
