Well WE aren't six. We're mid-30s and staying that way till the big 4-0 rolls over and flattens us into pancakes. The brat is 6. And has a nasty case of sniffles and a hacking cough. Oh joy. A year older and about to be pumped full of meds. Which kid doesn't want that? We... Continue Reading →
Lennon Had It Right!
Life is what happens to you while you’re busy making other plans. I'm not feeling particularly nostalgic or philosophical today so have no fear that this is one of "those" posts. After a week of particularly fragmented sleep due to a very, very unfortunate incident witnessed, I finally slept good and proper. And it was... Continue Reading →
Latin Week: Prima Die
I sometimes get weird ideas. I say weird because it comes unbidden, without known provocation and might seem really unusual to the readers. But be as that may, it seemed to me that doing a mini post on Latin phrases that I like, am inspired by might make an interesting change and it's definitely something... Continue Reading →
There’s A Dinosaur In My Bra!
No. I'm not high. Yes, I wish I was. And yes, I have a child. Ergo the weird things ending up where they ideally ought not to.

The Life Of An Urban Housewife
Get up and beat the alarm...not to death but beat it to the finish. Stumble over toys and everything that should not be scattered on the floor. Brush while still a zombie. Use the loo and think Oh God...another day. Struggle into swimsuit and go for a dip. Get into pool and properly wake up. Thank... Continue Reading →
Parents Vs. Kids…Tis A Losing Battle
Ever since my kid's been old enough to blink he's had me in the palm of his hand. There was no one more fragile, delicate, beautiful than he. Even now, although far from being a baby, he's still the most beautiful face I've beheld; in my humble opinion. And because he knows his power over... Continue Reading →
