So momma has been pretty much on high ( owing to the pain killers, anti-inflammatory and the likes) for past 11 days or so.
The 'television' and 'ipad' has turned out to be her best friends, even if she doesn't like them a bit. They keep the kids engaged all waking hours, while she snores on.
With her not being able to do much in the kitchen, (and until some good friends came to the rescue, ) we have been surviving on the dad's culinary skills which includes making khichdi, uttapam (from the store bought batter), and omellete-bread. Also, topping the lists, have been the carry-outs from the Indian restaurants and pizza places.
As chinipie accompanies dad to the most shopping trips/picking up the carry-outs, while sugar has to stay at home (and gets to play with the ipad), we have a new set of complaints. While sugar throws a fit each time they(chini n dad) leave the house, Chini says " u always keep sugar with u and send me everywhere - to school, to shopping, to get pizza, everywhere!"
Not all has been gloomy though, they still light up their momma in their little ways.
When not watching the tee vee, or complaining about nt getting to spend time with the mommy, Chini makes 'get well soon' and 'feel good' cards for mommy. She even decorates them with stickers and adds her precious possessions (rocks,stones,pencils,etc.) with the notes. She went a step ahead and told her teachers at school that mommy was in a car accident. She tries to be gentle around momma as she knows that mommy is still sore n every inch of muscle on her hurts. While she still worries that something is wrong with momma's chin(seeing the neck brace on her), her little sister just orders the mom to take it off, get up and change her arbe's dress. My little sugarbun, for whom momma's trip to the emergency room was a fab outing, is blissfully ignorant of all going around her. What a lovely stage she is in!
