K: Kudos to Mothers!

For sleepless nights

For smiling through pain

For those perseverant meal times

For always encouraging and applauding

For standing by her beliefs despite odds

For bearing with constant bombarding of advice (wanted/ unwanted) from all quarters (parenting is after all one area where everybody believes they are experts!)

For always prioritising the kids over herself

And for all those things that go unsaid!

Kudos!!!

Marathon Bloggers: August Challenge: 3 Pet Peeves

My personal vexations that annoy me, top three, off the top of my head: (1)    My obsessiveness with orderliness! The number of hours I spend putting those godforsaken toys in their respective places, designate jars that stock essentials in the fridge, file those mundane papers, and yes! the fixation with labelling and honouring it, while putting things back, only to have Brat and Junior scatter everything all over the very next minute!   If only I had spent all these hours at the gym… (2)    Huh! The advise that I attract: a.       Arbit person who stops by to admire Junior: “ You MUST oil his hair. It’ll keep his head cool!” b.       Pesky neighbour, never seen with her child “You MUST NOT  leave her alone, have you even heard of the things that are happening these days” (Brat is always accompanied by me outside the house and school, and trust me, this neighbour is never once seen with...

And I thought I could shop!

My cupboard has been howling and wailing, seeking some attention from it’s languid owner and asking for some freshness. Seriously felt the need to go and pick up a few clothes. I usually avoid shopping during sale, hate visiting a crowded store and waiting in long lines for trial rooms. But me being me, when the need strikes, it screams, urgent, essential, can’t do without! So, apparently the need struck, and the mind refused to reason and certainly refused to wait. So, off went the whole family, mother, father, with kids in tow, following an early lunch, just to ensure, we get parking at a place, atleast a kilometre within the said store and hopefully, wait in lines for trial, billing, etc, etc, a little less than perpetually! Thanks to all the planning , parking was a bliss. (Everything goes well you see, when two world-wise adults apply their minds, and so diligently calculate, the best time to land in a store to leave blissfully after finishing ‘ planned’ business. The s...

Invasion of space

10 years and 2 kids after marriage, in-laws have decided to move in with us. While I totally appreciate their need/ desire to move in and am trying my best to make it most comfortable for them here and also wishing they have happy, zestful twilight years, I must confess that I am finding it a bit too demanding. Me being the fiercely independent kind,   find it too invasive at times. Every bit of help offered (in good stead), each involvement of theirs...is far too intrusive for me. Being somewhat possesive of home and hearth, kitchen and kids (okay...yeah...I have a long way to go...yeah I get it) doesn't make it any easy. And what is it about incompatible personalities?! Exercising freedom of thought, and venting on blogosphere! As long as I’m not exploding like a shaken up bottle of fizzy drink!
