    This week sure has gone by quickly…today was a nice day in the sense that I got to rest till afternoon,because SD was working from home,so took a nap with Babychino and woke up feeling better. 

    Babushka started tennis at school today- it was so cute,watching her run around with the heavy racquet.after tennis,we headed to the shops to buy birthday presents.its the third week in a row when we have birthday parties to attend on both the days of the weekend!

    Watching a movie now- Ghost Protocol – babushka snuggled next to SD, Babychino sleeping and the highlight of my day has been tackling the laundry- last load of washing is in and another lot in the dryer- I wish the laundry got done itself…wishful thinking, yeah?

    Anyway, have a nice weekend everyone!

  • Day 3

    Cold and wet- that’s Melbourne!

    Flu-ridden….yes that’s me!

    Curiousity- that’s Babychino- about what her sister is eating!

    Happily tortured-that would have to be Babushka-she lets her sister pull her hair,climb up on her ..and then she returns the favor!

    Cacophony of baby babble and contagious giggles- that would be the Suburban House after 3pm!

    Sweetest hubby- now that is the SD without a doubt- he is on his way home and has promised to make me masala chaiwhen he gets home:)

  • Day-2 NaBloPoMo

    You know what I like most about daily posts? The fact that I can write about the mundane happenings of my day and not feel guilty about boring anyone. 

    Like now for instance,I am trying to type this post,babushka is in bed,singing to herself,SD is rocking Babychino to sleep…and I know we’ll have an hour or so of quiet time before she wakes up again!
    It’s getting cold here..today was one such day..and the rain Gods like to joke around with us,especially at school pickup and drop times.you get in the car and as soon as you reach school,it starts raining…drop the child come back to the car,it’s stopped raining! Same thing at pickup time..Gah! And I have the little one with me too…:( its at times like this that I wish even we had family around to help,like so Indian families..they have at least one set of grandparents staying with them for the first year of the child’s age…to help the parents. I feel if we had someone else at home, then I wouldn’t have to drag li’l Babychino out in the nasty weather:( and it makes me sad..and at times like the,SD tells me how proud he is of me,to manage everything so well:) and that cheers me up…a little…but the unfairness of it is not lost to me… I mean it’s not fair that a baby is dragged around for her sibling’s cause…oh well…there I go again…but I try my best to make up for this lack of sleep and warmth every morning,by cuddling her extra long,dropping eveerything that I am doing the moment she wakes up from her naps…etc… As they say there is nothing worse than mother’s guilt…you can fight it but never escape it,isn’t it?

  • NaBloPoMo-Day1

    Hello World:)
    This is my attempt to get back to regular blogging..with the thousand things that I want to do everyday…God help me..:)
    Yesterday morning,the girls woke up early and there was time for a little play before school.SD was getting ready for work and I was packing the lunches and I had to stop and look because it was extremely quiet.And when the house is quiet..its a good idea to check on the kids:)
    The sight that I saw was cute and funny..Let me show you…

    The girls were playing quietly..BUT Babychino was playing with Babushka’s toy kitchen(5+ toy!) and Babushka was happily playing with Babychino’s activity cube!!!!

    A brilliant start to the day,isn’t it?:)
