Thank God It's Friday

It is. It's a Friday today. The one day that most of the residents of Dubai will turn off their alarm clocks and sleep in, leaving the roads clear and traffic free. I'm one of those abnormal ones who get up bright and early and wake everyone else with their annoyingly chirpy cheerfulness, hop into their car with a thermos of coffee and head to the beach to watch the sunrise. It's a beautiful, beautiful sunrise. Granted it's about 50 degrees C but theose gorgeous colours spreading across the sky is worth it I think.

I went and saw my 2 babies today. That's what they've become to me, my 2 babies. Tracy and Joe Kuruvilla. My heart filled up when Tracy jumped into my arms, and when Joe gave me a shy wet kiss. My spirits soared as I clapped to their performance of Bob Sinclaire's World Hold On. I had an indulgant smile as Tracy spat all over me and gave me a 4 toothed grin. And I was crushed when it was time to leave and I heard Joe wail mournfully. They're my stress relief. Tracy can do anything to me and I will laugh and kiss her. I don't even know if all this is in proper english but just the thought of my stolen hour with them brings a grin to my face. I adore them. I'm not one of those super sickly sweet baby loving types. I usually hate kids. They're annoying, irritating, bad mannered and just pissing off, but these 2, these 2 are the lights of my life. Am I going overly gaga over a pair of kids that arent even mine? Probably. But these 2 are worth it. If I have kids I want them to be like Tracy and Joe. Theyre the only 2 kids so far who are worth the pain I'd think. They are.
