What I Learnt From My Kid’s School

Courtesy Facebook's memories I get to know about how and what I was thinking not only on a time a specific time in the past but also how I was feeling. And when I wrote this post I was a bit more of an anxious mother, fretting about my kid's school, academic "career" as it were... Continue Reading →

The Right Way To Kvetch

When faced with a "to kvetch or not to kvetch" kind of a question, do yourself and especially those around you a favor, don't. But since kvetching isn't like Solitaire aka an activity that can be done all by your lonesome, a wee bit of a gander at The Ring Theory of Kvetching prevents you... Continue Reading →

36

Ask a woman if she's easier in her mind about being 36 years old versus being 36 in the waist and you can bet you'll be on the receiving end of the MOST disdainful look which roughly translates to, " Yeah right! AS IF! What kind of question is that anyhow? How DUH ARE you?!"... Continue Reading →

Book Review: Ghachar Ghochar

It's been a long time since I've done a book review. Better late than never, especially for a book like Ghachar Ghochar.   A friend and fellow reading afficiando who also wears other interesting hats was cleaning house and put up a give-away of her beloved books. Red lucked upon this particular one and the result... Continue Reading →

The Laundry Bugbear

I can totally understand why certain people cross over to the dark side and embrace OCD. Well, given that we're talking of OCD am guessing the embracing is a compelling act, 'cuse the pun, por favor.

A Bloglet: A Mother Realizes…Yet Again

When you're sitting in front of a mini monster with curious and wandering hands, make sure you forgo the quilled earrings. It doesn't take long for little buds to become danglers. Wear in haste and rue in leisure.

Sanities and Tensions…

The brat is keeping us massively entertained with the things he's been learning in school. And while he no longer has the problem with his hearing that he did before, he is still prone to quite a bit of distractibility. That coupled with things that are repeated while he is in a group, like the school assembly,... Continue Reading →

Co-Sleeping…A Parent Reflects

One of the first things I bought when I got pregnant, was a cot for my baby. It was nice, smooth with rounded edges and had teething shields on both the rails.
