Wo(a)ndering thoughts!!!

Boys are on their vacation and I'm home alone. I have done this before, but this time the difference is the weekend. Last  time I didn't have to spend my weekend alone!!!  It was just weekdays(workdays), so I was occupied. Its been a week already,I can't believe how time flew. I have to be honest, I'm enjoying this lone time. I get to walk a lot to/from station which I can't do when I have to pick A up after work. I don't have to rush to/from work.. And I can cook something simple and relax. watch movies/TV during DAY time!!! <unlike wait till A goes to bed>.. I sound silly. Its true, I think small break like this make you aware of the small things in life and appreciate them.. Its all because I know for sure A is getting completely pampered and taken care off. No hard feelings/guilt/worry.. And thanks to A and G , they make it look very simple for me. I see their smiling faces in the pics they share and I smile ' This is how I planned this br...

Kannamma, Remember your first flight with me when you were 11 months old, I was nervous as hell. Nevertheless, you were so playful and composed, not at all naughty or cranky. You slept most of the time and made my trip lot easier. It is always a pleasant trip when travelling with you. I must admit you are a natural traveller. Be it a new place or a new journey you are always excited and on-board. You started sitting on your own seat (in flight) when you were 2yrs. You even refused to share your seat with me (it was aisle seat for both of us – a walkway in between us) . You sat on your own, watching some cartoon and slept without a fuss. I just sat there looking at you whole night thinking you might fall down in your sleep.   Our first trip alone to Japan with our best friends, it was such a pleasant memory you and our darling Y created except for the fact you both literally fought every day for the right side window seat. You heard it right. There are two windo...

Little A become a big boy going on trips without mum.. he had his first trip without me last month to Gold Coast with G. They spent mostly in Dream world, I was really worried how he would react after going there. But then he took it really well.. Trick is we never give him surprise. He usually knows what’s coming and we keep talking positive things about the event at least a week prior to that. G took printout of dream world map and start to plan what to see/do with A everyday for a week..  Initially he wasn’t happy about the trip without me.. But slowly day by day he started to feel comfortable about his trip to see all his favourite characters and fun things he would do with G. And 2 days before his trip, he was completely ready and when I asked him whether he would miss me on his trip..His response was “Don’t worry mom. I will do face-time.. “ I was so proud of his matured response and felt so relieved to hear that instead of whining and dramas which would’ve made ...
