Belated Blogging and the 7 Year Itch

I am currently on an extended holiday of 8 weeks. However, this has meant that I have neglected my blog. I have thought them out in my head but have not managed to get them onto the laptop. And today is the first chance I've had to sit down to transmit some of my ''brain logs'' into ''web logs''. And at the same time, I have just found some drafts blogs which I never published! So I have now published them but they are not chronological! So that's blog learning point number 1; check that the blog is published after it's written. Number 2, I need to learn to learn to remote or mobile blog from my iPhone.
My holiday blog is one that needs a blog of its own in the past tense but at the rate I'm going, that might happen in another life! But I'm determined to keep this one going, so I've made myself a blog goal of 500 words per day and include my holiday in it because there was a fair bit of kids in the kitchen so let's see what happens.
Now that I'm back to the present tense, I will make a point of announcing that today is my 7 year marriage anniversary, and my husband is all alone in England while I am in Abu Dhabi. He has already called me twice today. I laugh that I used to worry about the 7 year milestone, because of the 7 Year Itch. Apparantly the Seven Year Itch is the male urge for infidelity that began after 7 years of marriage. But then I realised that it is completely fictional and was created for the Marilyn Monroe movie of the same name so I have nothing to worry about. Besides, he is coming to join me and the children for our last 10 days of holiday, after 6 weeks apart, combined with celebrating Eid and our anniversary, our daughter's 4th birthday and our son's 2nd birthday, so the anticipation is really exciting!
