Yet another weekend went by in a jiffy- work,birthday party,swimming,cooking and lots of organizing:)
I am finally trying to sort my house- and for a change,i am being ruthless and throwing things away..no really.. I am a hoarder..and when a hoarder throws stuff she is being ruthless:)
SD’s idea of tidying up is-stuffing things in a cupboard or in plastic bag and put it on the top shelf.Lol! Really!
I saved only 2 of my favorite baby outfits of each girl and gave the rest away to charity.The girls are still sick and I hate the helpless feeling of not being able to do anything more to help them.
Anyway,hope we can say good- bye to the sickies in this coming week.
More tomorrow:)

When Babychino decided to help me fold the laundry:)

Just a usual day here…the girls are still sick-Babychino slept most of the day and Babushka colored and drew,got frustrated about staying home and then took a nap.
Sometime during the day,I caught her,looking at her class photos,quite wistfully..I asked her what was going on in her head and she said,she was missing her friends and her teacher.When it started raining she said,”oh it will be wet time- table today”. It dawned on me,how much my little girl has grown up.She is beginning to form independent relationships outside the house-her world is no longer restricted to just us….*sigh* why do babies grow up so soon? Now I know how the birds feel when their hatchlings leave the nest.. I am glad at least she still comes back home.I am thankful for the cuddles,she still likes giving me,
Tonight,when I tucked her in for the night,she asked me,if Babychino could sleep in her crib all night because she was missing the time,when it was just mumma and her..and she wanted to sleep cuddling me all night! I miss that part too.. But I get my share of small warm bodies,clinging to my neck for dear life,with the Babychino…so,I am ok…
*gasp*i can’t believe I said that..before the Babychino came along,I was 200%sure that I couldn’t love anyone else as much as I loved Babushka…because I didnt think I would have any love left!
Lol!could I have been any more wrong? Gosh I love the Babychino to pieces…If not more than the Babushka,its no less either! I now believe a Mother’s heart actually splits in to as many equal parts,as the number of children she has….how could I not..for my own has split into two equal parts…:)
Well,I should call it a night..it’s my work day tomorrow…and you enjoy your weekend!

Last night I went to bed with a purpose- the purpose was to plan out our weekly menu and my exercise schedule- and I fell asleep, even before writing the day/ date!
I haven’t gone for a walk in a long time- because it’s cold and when I come home,after dropping Babushka, I just end up doing other stuff. One of the girls on my fitness support group,suggested writing a schedule and putting in the exercise as a non- negotiable appointment- that made sense.
It didn’t work ..coz I fell asleep.And really need to plan menus- because early nights make me lazy n I don’t feel like cooking.Heading out to buy the slow-cooker now.What?I have more time during the day,to put the meal together,than in the evening! My reasoning to SD about why I want need a slow- cooker to save money- if I have the slow cooker,we won’t need to get takeaway:) lol yeah we’ll see:)

Babushka was unwell, so i kept her home today. Babychino was sick too..It was one long day here- they both slept at different times. The first time,Babychino took a nap,Babs woke her up..the next time,they both cuddled up and slept together for half an hour,I finished my lunch and Babychino woke up:)One thing after the other..everything took double time today:)
This Saturday when I came back from work,SD had cleaned the living room up,vacuumed the floor,etc..when I said wow,looks nice,he rubbed it in my face,that he managed to clean,feed the girls,have a shower..all when the girls were awake, how could I not. I was too tired then, and as always my brain thinks of a response only after, the talk is done and dusted. And then I think about it over and over again..that’s what happened this time as well..and then I realized,that- he had done everything,except two important things- cooking and eating! He had his shower and finished praying when Babychino slept.I use that time to have a shower/ cook something and try to eat it…now,I don’t feel inefficient anymore..:)
Like Babushka says,I am trying my best and really working hard!:)

This,Ladies and Gentlemen, is what my gorgeous girl gave me,for Mother’s Day!
The orange flower bouquet card is from indonesian lesson,the orange tea-cup and the other things were made during everyday session,and the clay bell was made in the Art class.She bought the white board,the orange lipstick holder and the charms bookmark,from the school Mother’s day stall.She decorated the whiteboard,using her stencil.
Through out the day,Babushka wished me,”Happy Mother’s Day”,in the sweetest voice, followed by,”I love you,mommy”…. She kept telling me,that I work so hard,so I need to rest and I shouldn’t do any work today:)
She was hungry and asked me for an Omlette Sandwich..and was getting impatient while I made it… I said,I M trying my best to make it fast..and then she remembered her motto of making me rest,and she said,immediately…oh let it be ..I’m not hungry..I am telling you to rest and relax,but you don’t listen…aah my sweetness,I love her so much!
We went grocery shopping and she insisted on buying a plant for me:)
She told SD to wake up early and make pancakes for me…I knowww..so sweet,ya?But somehow it didn’t happen..and she’s promised me that one morning when it’s a holiday, she will serve me breakfast in bed,even if she can’t make pancakes,she will serve cereal!
When I tucked her in,tonight,she promised again about breakfast and I told her Thank You and asked her,when did you grow up so much? You were just my little baby…She hugged me tight and said, but I M still your little baby mumma! My cup overflows!
Oh..and as for Babychino, she gave me a super-hot stinky poopy diaper,first thing in the morning! Lol! Yeah..that’s how my day began,and I wouldn’t trade it for anything!

Do you know what’s the best part of my day,every Saturday?
Cuddling up with my babies…usually after I finish work,we grab a quick bite- perks of working in a shopping center…and then we come home to flop on the couch…me and my babies…SD usually leaves us to ourselves,by then he is ready for his alone time.
So,like I said..on the couch..cuddling with my babies,they are just doing their own things- watching tv,babbling,chewing on toys and all the while making sure,some part of their body is touching mine,I am not even allowed to shift even a teeny bit…absolute bliss..I tell you!
After we’ve had our share of cuddles,we move to the bedroom,to snuggle up and take a long nap… Babushka usually is the first to wake up…and she sneaks out to play or watch tv, Babychino,wakes up next and keeps babbling,playing with my face and hair….I have a big smile on my face as I type this…:)
What’s the best part of your day? Do share:)
Have a great weekend,everyone!
