“I must write“,I tell myself. I must write,before the blogger’s block sets in again.I must write,its been a week since my last post. Blogging in your head doesn’t count..Put it in words,so you can read it later and smile- this is the internal dialogue that runs on repeat in my head,as soon as I sit in front of the laptop.
Our modem stopped working last Friday and when we did get a spanking new replacement,I was busy testing a pattern for a crochet designer. Both the girls have their own pair of fingerless mittens now and I want one too! More about that in my next post.
Other than that,we have met friends,every single day! Oh! the joys of summer holidays. Playdates galore.The girls are exhausted,as am I..but the week is nearly over. I have a mission to accomplish tomorrow..fingers crossed,I can do it.. you will hear about it here,one way or the other.
More soon..

This morning started out nice..Ms.An came to our bed and snuggled up 🙂 Ohh!I miss those snuggles. She loves having her own room,since we moved to this house.I remember having a hard time moving Ms.A out of our bed. I remember setting up her room,getting her all hyped about it only for her to come right back to our room 🙂
With Ms.An,it has been a breeze,so much so that I didn’t even realise it ,until the other night,when she said to me,”Mummy,I tired” and I started walking towards my bedroom and she tugged at my hand and said..”No my noom” awww my little heart loves her littlenoomroom.
Anyway,as I was saying,she came to our bed and snuggled up..and I woke up smiling 🙂 And there were more hugs and all the excitement to go to kool(school) and everything went downhill from there. She wanted to wear her Spiderman Pjs to childcare today and I said no.WeI compromised that she could wear her pajama t-shirt but would have to change the shorts to pants but all hell broke loose. She cried and screamed and finally SP managed to calm her down and brought her downstairs.Then,the next battle started-the hair combing one! She screamed and cried her eyes out again! Finally that was done,more cuddles and kisses later,she was ready to get in the car.
Drop off went smoothly,although she was a bit disappointed to not see her favourite carer Ms.M in the room. But she loves going there now and has formed bonds with all the lovely ladies there,so she did wave good bye happily.
Ms.A went along to drop her and chatted non-stop on our way back,till I had to tell her to stop, and not talk till I didn’t finish my coffee.
10:30 am- I took the first sip of my coffee and aaaah! bliss..just like that,all is well again 🙂
I feel human and can face the world..but..hang on! I hear Ms.A nagging in the background..hmmm..its going to be a L.O.N.G. day!!! -
“What’s with the name? Why 15 Marbles?”
That’s a question, a lot of you have asked me over the last few days. Let me assure you, its not the number of marbles I have lost,but it is something that I picked from our new real home. So it spells permanence, stability and happiness for me.. Hence the name 🙂
I will do a virtual home tour here,soon 🙂
Although I have to confess,I am in love with the name 15 Marbles and have been stalking my own page 😛
While we are on the topic of names, Ms.An has a new name for herself and for us, every few days. A couple of months back,we were the characters from Scooby-Doo Mystery inc .She was Shaggy, Ms.A was Scooby,SP was Fred and I was Daphne.
When we went to India,she was Batman,Ms.A was Spiderman,SP was Super-hero and I was..wait for this..”Butler”,Batman’s Butler.
For the last few weeks,she has been G-one from the movie Ra.One. And so everytime,someone someone calls out to her,her first response is “I am NOT Ms.An! I am G-one,Super Hero!
We take turns annoying her by telling her that her name is Ms.An and she screams back “I am G-one!” Funny as it sounds,it is annoying at times-I mean she has a beautiful name,why can’t she love it as much as we do 😀 I know its a phase and she will outgrow it,so,I had to write about it,because I realised that I didn’t get around to recording so many fun things about us as I did with Ms.A..and as time goes,I forget 😦
I leave you with a pic of my superhero wearing her favourite Spiderman t-shirt,pretending to her homework,because her big sister was working on her maths homework. -
Happy New Year 🙂
Hope 2015 is good to you and brings you loads of happiness. As for me,I have found my happy place and a new virtual home,a permanent one( Fingers crossed!) But the fact that I have already purchased the domain,makes me feel this one is for keeps 🙂 Read my blogging story here and please stop by at my new home-

Hello everyone,Happy New Year!
2015 is the year of change 🙂 We are in a new home,a home of that’s our own and for the first time in so many years,I feel settled and grounded.And so its only fair that our virtual home,gets a permanent address too-one that’s not based on my mood of the day,one that I don’t change on a whim,as I have in the past.Over the past 8 years(!!!),I have changed so many blog names,I have lost count of them,just to list a few-
The very first one was- My Sunshine,started in Feb 2007,just before Ms.A was born.She will be 8 in March and that’s how long my blogging stint is 🙂
Then,I tried anon blogging as the GypsyMumma- We were making a big international move,my life was turning upside down and it showed on my virtual life.
As my life took more crazy turns,my need…View original post 308 more words
