Landed in the motherland. Greeted by warm, wet air instead of the arid breezes of the homeland. Before long a storm arose, the lights went out and 3 slightly giddy women of differing ages danced in the rain with lightning crashing almost overhead. Very primal. Drying off by the candlelight where giant shadows danced on... Continue Reading →
The Road Not Taken
Note: This is hardly an original title but extremely apt nonetheless, especially for this particular post. Somehow this post was particularly difficult to write. The words didn't flow the way they usually do and I've made more revisions than I've ever done before, left it cooling on the rack as it were till I decided... Continue Reading →
Problem Of Plenty
A few years ago I was sitting with a bunch of gal pals on a gals' weekend away and we were talking about how our lives are. Essentially the "why" of needing to 'get away from it all'. One of them said (with a sigh) that mornings were quite hectic because: a) the milkman would... Continue Reading →
Summer Reveals
TO tells me a lot of stuff but he doesn't always share stuff I want to know about...how he's doing in school, something new on his radar or just things he's thinking about. Now that we're in the vacay mode, he's sharing stuff from his school backpack. His drawing book came out today and he... Continue Reading →
Bloglet: Boomerang Bantering
Every now and then I use slangs with TO and often it comes back to me in a very amusing way. He was using selective audition with me today when I was asking him to do a couple of things around the house. I rolled my eyes at him and told him not to be... Continue Reading →
Happy Hump Day…
My day started a bit sluggishly. Alexa was chirping her annoying wake-up alarm that Red sets up but rarely wakes up to. I wanted to pretend that I had no To-Dos on my list and woke Red up and told him to get TO ready for school. And he did. TO even brought me a... Continue Reading →
Oh My Angst Hurts
The Offspring (TO) has been introduced to the world of peer pressure. He has met the "popular" kids, met the jocks, met the goody two-shoes and is trying to fit into the whole ecosystem as we speak...erm type. Being of a slightly more touchy disposition, TO is at times inclined to want to change schools... Continue Reading →
Ruminations@3 AM
I have a slightly off sleeping pattern. I need to time it pretty precisely so I get my required amount of sleep. Too early and I'm up 2-3 hours prior to my usual wake-up time. Too late and I'm rushing through the morning just to catch up with everything that needs to get done by... Continue Reading →
What Dreams May Come
For every student who dabbled in Psych, Sigmund Freud is a part of the study one couldn't escape. He was the pit in the cherry or any fruit that you had to eat around and eventually spit out. And now I'm doing justice to both my Psych and English Litt backgrounds by using metaphors and... Continue Reading →
Oh No You Did Not!!
Red and I impose parental controls on TO's digital media views and mainly their content. It's not so much to keep him away from profanity (he gets a dose of that when I drive) but also to keep him away from concepts that he may not be able to understand and end up getting freaked...
