The Pandemic: A Timeline of Delayed Gratification

Most people I know have dealt with the fallout of the pandemic to the best of their ability. Some have been lucky to not contract the virus at all or recover quickly if they have and thankfully not too many have faced any irreplaceable losses. But we've ALL been touched by the effects of it... Continue Reading →

Lockdown Day#1

While a lockdown hits hard at every aspect of our lives, today am far more upbeat than I have been in a long time! The reason is simple. My kid's online classes are coming to an end for 2 months. And Red and I will finally get back to being human parents rather than the... Continue Reading →

A Cough and a Wheeze…

Makes the whole world freeze! These days at least. For those of us who are moms, the steady output of coughs, sneezes, phlegms is not a bother at all. Seeing how they are usually aimed our way or done by our loving offsprings who would probably have a tissue, a hanky in one hand, have... Continue Reading →

How To Talk So Kids Will Listen

This is going into the category of a bloglet viz it'll be brief. There's a book my husband bought me once the brat started pre-primary...it's called How To Talk So Kids Will Listen And Listen So Kids Will Talk. Since the book did not mention anything about how to talk so husbands will listen and stop leaving...

Oh Snap!

The brat has his little friends. They can be quite a handful from time to time. One of them came over a little while ago and was practically nose-to-nose with the not-small t.v set. When I asked her to move back a bit, she scooched back barely half an inch. So I asked her to... Continue Reading →

What I Learnt From My Kid’s School

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 →

Book Review- Fowl Language

This book speaks for itself. It's non-preachy and basically talks about the incomprehensible, inexplicable turns a person's life takes once they become a parent. From juice boxes to joy, partying to poop and basically the utter, utter delight and nerve-wracking situation that is parenthood. Brian Gordon is someone every parent and non-parent should read (although... 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 →

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. So laundry...yeah. It's a necessary evil if you want to wear clean clothes and in case you don't have... Continue Reading →

There’s A Great White Under The Bed

It's only 3 inches long but my big toe did come in contact with its great gaping maws...and this isn't the first time there was a "dangerous" animal lurking where it shouldn't have been. We've had similar incidents earlier also. Want to know what else is going on? Well there's a mini Giant Octopus hiding behind... Continue Reading →
