The world of mommyhood

is not all rosy as it seems..

I wonder when my kids grew up so much right under my nose. It's hard to imagine that when you look at them and see how they depend on you and trust you for everything from what you feed them to where you take them to where you leave them or do not leave them. How a mom is responsible for everything, for their complete mind, body and spirit development right from the beginning. I wonder if I will ever be able to inculcate the responsibility, independence, respect for time and self-love in them as much as I want. For, I believe, The rest of the virtues will follow these three basic ones all by themselves.

Now, before you start wondering if I have lost my mind and am making no sense above, let me tell  you how my morning was. My darling daughters were done with their morning chores while I was busy making breakfast and packing chinipie's lunch. As the sugarbun was going upstairs with all the cheery sunshine, the older one came upto the little one, with her breakfast in one hand and says,"Good Luck with  your nahai-nahai(bath)". Now, this little sugar bundle of mine, for some reason, averts getting into the bath tub as much as she can and then later, gives me a tough time coming out of it as well! As expected, all hell broke loose and I had to carry a wiggling, wailing, kicking sugar upstairs and from taking her nightdress off to putting on that last piece of shoe on her, everything was a huge fight. Believe me, you don't even want to know what happened in between. Only later, when she had her jacket and hat on, did she flash me a smile. Don't blame me,if I was in no mood for smiles after those 15 minutes of the heart-wrenching cries. If you are thinking, that I am lucky to have atleast chinipie, who did everything by herself and was out of the door on time, you have not counted the number of times I had to ask her to stop playing and get dressed up. Oh, and not to forget, in the middle of getting ready, she suddenly decided that she has to re-decorate her room and starting pulling the wall stickers off... why?????? Imagine my shock, when I come to their bedroom with a towel-wrapped, wailing sugarbun, I find chini, on top of her bed, with nothing on but her underpants, pulling off one of the stickers! When I asked what she was doing, she coolly replies, " I have to put it there. It's not looking good here"!!!!! Couldn't I see that already??? I guess  I should have re-phrased and asked her what she was supposed to do and what she was doing instead.



Well, mommies of two or one like me, I know you are not being completely honest, when you say that your kids never put you in situations like this. For, we all know, that's not the truth. None of us have done such good deeds in past to deserve heavenly kids. So, please don't even attempt to.
All you new moms and the mom-to-be's, heartiest congratulations to you. I know I haven't been in touch with you guys for a while, but I am happy for you. After all, why should I be the only one suffering?? ;))
Just kidding. I would, just say, enjoy your sanity and relish the baby-moon phase as long as it lasts..
And yeah, for the term 'baby-moon' - whatever the wiktionary says, according to me.. it only has one meaning - the initial phase of the baby when you feel that mommy-ing is heavenly. Clearly, I am out of it and with a wicked heart, can't wait for you guys, too.

The year just flew by

.. and I am sorry if I didnt keep you guys posted with more growing-up episodes of my power bundles. But they kept me on my heels, you see. With their endless classes, non-stop chatter and not-to-forget difficult phases, that we so often associate with the childhood, I hardly had time to sit and type. There are numerous posts saved in my backlog, many are just on paper and never made it to the digital world and many more occupied their space in my head before getting lost in the oblivion. And this is what disturbed me and brought me back out of my exile. For, when I had started this blog six years ago, I had promised myself that I would keep a log of every little episode of my little tadpole's life from the size of my finger tip to the full- human. And that's what I intend to do. So, all you fans of my chinipie and sugarbun, watch out for some heart-shaking and many rib-tickling doings of these little angels of my life.

I wouldn't be posting them on the social sites, anymore though. So, save the link and visit it daily or if you prefer, either subscribe(link on the right) in to the site or become a follower(link on the left) of these two messiahs of my sanity.

See you all soon!
