Things they say! Blogging Marathon 2014 Post 7

And this one is all about babies...

Sometime ago, lil G asked me if I had a stomach-ache when she was in my stomach? To which I said, no, only sometimes I felt uncomfortable when she kicked me at times.

On a recent visit to a toy store, she has chosen a baby doll, which would be with her all day. In the holidays and after, the doll lives in the toy box, abandoned by its proud mother! She has conveniently moved on to a puzzle game.

A conversation we had...

Lil G: Mama, how do babies come into the stomach?
Me: God puts them there.
Lil G: My stomach is paining, I have a baby inside and it's kicking?
Me and Big G doubled up in laughter: It is not possible, there is no baby in there, you are too small!
Big G: And you are not married, only then you can have a baby!
Lil G: Who will I marry Mama?
Me: Long time still.
Lil G: Can I marry Luna L from my class?
Big G: You can't marry girls!
Lil G: Who then, only boys? Ok, I want to marry Daddy!
Me: That's not possible, you can't marry Daddy, he is your father!
Lil G: Ok, then I will marry W from my class!
So it's all decided.

The slow thawing

I realise I am inconsistent in lots of stuff and instead of my usual defensive spiel,  here is a quiet acceptance of that. Guilty of that and many more things....but not being disciplined tops the list. It shows how I take care of myself, how I keep order at home, how I generally mange myself and my world. How easy it is for me to not keep up to anything consistently....Its embarassing, its seen in the constant self-talk I have with myself. It shows up in stuff pending over the week and taking over weekend, it shows in the amount of dirt that came out of cleaning under the dish-washer, just one of those things which I had been forever planning to do; it shows in how I finally managed to paint my toe-nails after one year - sometimes there was no nailpolish remover; or nail polish itself; other times it was something I remembered just before bedtime or just when stepping out, hence no time to dry itself; sometimes I did remember but pushed it away for a bit and then forgot because so...

May 2013 - The Elusive One

Image
Think back to a month in your life. Do you remember any month or period specifically from the sweeping past or present? Maybe the month before the board exams, last month in the hostel eagerly awaiting to get back home, the month before you were getting hitched that was crammed with frantic shopping and plans on the side to run-away solo or when you were expecting your first baby, waiting for the moment and savoring the peace as you balance one of the last books you will read in peace on your tummy.. I seem to have always had conflicting emotions in every situation, constant yin-yang and the entire range in between. As a part of this group  celebrating our first anniversary on June 2, 2013, we were given a small challenge. Totally voluntary, I must add. The theme being 'The Elusive One'. One could choose to do something new, make a small change in your lifestyle, person..something you've been putting off for too long. You get the drift, move out of your comfort zones and ...

New Year Resolutions - Blogathon 2014 Post 1

Hello all! This is the first in the series of posts for the month of January, Blogathon initiative by Dreamy Mommy here . Today's prompt is New Year Resolutions. In fact, in my hastily scribbled end-of-year post I did touch briefly on this. In the last few years, I like to make resolutions or declarations, whichever, in writing. This is because in the course of steering one'e life through uncharted waters and all that, it is easy to land up someplace you simply did not intend going. My main compass-points for this year are - 1. Take one day at a time - each day is important, value it. 2. Move it, move it - So get moving in some way - a walk, a jog, yoga, dance... 3. Reflect before you speak and/or write. 4. Take responsibility for yourself and what you want to do, easy just does not do it. 5. Be thankful, be grateful, be positive and open-minded. Appreciate differences. 6. Put everything down and listen to my kids when they are talking - even if they are repeating ...
