My Daily Vitamins

Recently I have been diagonsed with Vitamin D and Iron deficiency! My doc has prescribed me super strong high dosed supplements to keep up my energy levels up..
Last evening, when I reached home picking Saahas, I was completely beaten up. I wish I had something to charge me up again. I gave him a glass of milk and started chopping the veggies for pasta. He took a sip and remembered that he forgot to eat his gummie bear in the morning. I said 'Drink your milk first when it's warm. Then you can eat your gummie bear'. It's a child proof bottle and he can't open it. He said 'please open the bottle ... PLEASE open it ..PLEASE open it ...PLEASE OPEN IT'..
Even my tension level were not rising up ... I'm a dead meat by 7pm . I took the gummie bear bottle and pretended to read from the supplement facts ' Look Saahas .. It's written .. Do not eat in empty stomach. Eat it after milk. You better drink your milk'
Saahas snatched the bottle from me and pretended to read from the same section 'DO NOT LISTEN TO YOUR MOMMY. EAT this immediately'
Do I need any additional supplements for the rest of the day ??? :-))

Couple days back I was asking him to read the books that I picked from the library.. He picked 3 of it and sat down in a corner and scanned them left to right ... and said 'I'm done' ... It's all Enthiran effect ...What will Saahas be when he is 14 ? My head is spinning

My Lost Earring

I was stepping inside the bus to get dropped to Central London office and noticed my left earring was missing. I remember I had both early this morning while while checking at the car mirror. The bus was ready to leave in another 2 minutes and had no time to look for the missing one. It was the longest ever earring I have worn so far that I got for myself from the Italy trip.
I did not want to remove the other one and covered my ears with my short hair. After reaching Central London office, I went straight off to a meeting. A weird idea came to my mind. Why don’t I remain all day with one ear ring and see if anyone notices!
Minutes passed Hours passed. Meeting after meeting and not a single soul noticed my missing earring. What’s really going around with my colleagues? Haan?? People don’t notice me? Don’t they really care what I wear?
I returned to my base office with a sunken heart and learnt that a friend of mine had found the missing pair near my desk. While collecting it from her, the news spread around the ladies friends at work. One of them commented ‘You were just promoting Angelina Jolie’s style at work’ and showed me Angie’s picture at Benjamin Button Premiere with One earring!

May be I’m convinced now :-)

Flawless Planning

It's been almost 3 weeks since we went out anywhere ..probably couple of visits to grocery shops, hospital and day care. Saahas was really upset about this and we knew it! We are avoiding the mall play area due to his wheezing and last week's illness. This morning he was too cranky and all I heard was 'NO' for everything ....I was completely exhausted by noon and my hubby suggested to take him to the library. the lil one over heard our conversation and from then was too good, did whatever I said. I felt he is really ready to get out! It takes twice the time to get ready in winter with extra layered clothes, mittens, jackets, scarf and a cap. Dressing up a hyper kid took me thrice the usual time. When I was abt to leave the door "Mommy Poo Poo " Alright ........ change diaper ... repeat the process ...get to the door... walk to the car.. start to drive in a heap of snow. Exactly after 1 min I turn and ask ' what are u planning to do in library?' I hear nothing ... hello ....nothing ... then I hear a snore .... my god ....pls dun sleep ... No response ..snoring even more louder ....my mind thot in 100 angles, made a U turn, went back to the garage thinking I will put him in bed and get back to my exam prep (really lagging behind so much). the lil slept on my shoulders and I felt I made the perfect decision of coming back. The put him in the bed , got changed and took a sip of water ...I heard him in the bedroom ...just peeped in and said ' Sleep baby' ... Godddd he was sooooo angry with lots of tears "LIBRARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" he dint stop ..I told him what happened ... he stopped crying , listened till I finished and said "LIBRARYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYY" I want to go to LIBRARY
It took me hours to convince and atlast cailou(DVD) helped me calm him. I used to get paid for planning projects worth millions and I was laughing in my head. The DVD effect started fading slowly and I heard the same song again ...... pls gimme a break :-(((
I managed till swaroop returned, we had early dinner and started to library (same mittens,jacket blah blah blah ...) he slept in the car .........grhhhhhh Is this some kinda joke ? He was sleeping all the way, dint realize we were in library ...I decided to get some reading and chose a calm place.. The lil one snored so heavily lying in the stroller..few heads kept turning towards me. Poor baby, his nostrils are still blocked. Embarrased I gave up my reading and went to the kids area and waited for him to awake ...He woke up after 40 mins. Good! I let him pick the books and read him 5 stories. It was 9 the lights were off ... he still wanted to read ....I promised I will take him again . He said ' I will not sleep' ! That was unexpected and funny ....and made me forget all the trouble he gave me!

Lessons Learned: If you promise something, do it no matter what it takes! He is not a kid anymore to distract him with a lil sticker and change topics.
