Getting lost is time wasted

Barney and i visited the grand aunts on monday. Aunty Lucy had called several times during the week asking to see the boy. So we went to Ang Mo Kio, taking the SLE missing the Yio Chu Kang turn and going all the way to Yishun, got lost in the estate and then found a road to Sembawang and thompson. We finally get there and aunt Lucy says we ought to visit Aunt Annie cos she was warded in the hospital the day before for food poisoning. So we troop down to breakfast, bought some grapes for the aunt and got some more T-shirts for Barney who was also treated to chocolates, biscuits and 3 times on the car ride machine.

We get to Aunt Annie's and she's so happy to see us, she lets go of her 'lum-jum' and gets washed up. I also catch up with Lorainne who has the tummy flu and has to stay home, and get a glimpse of Jan. I scrurry Barney downstairs to play with toys and wait for my mum as she chats with Aunt Annie.

Barney has the tummy flu today. We were up since 2am as he slept, tummy churned and threw up 8 times. We brought him to the doctor after washing up wet poo. The doctor was surprized that he was still so energetic after the long night. The whinning and lying on the carpet, and wanting to be carried only appeared after we got home. I switched on you tube and played all his favourite nursery rhymes and he falls asleep in my arms.

I'm learning to not bring baby to visit the sick, and learning that i need to learn the SLE route before driving on it again, otherwise i realise getting lost is a lot of time wasted.
