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...

We spent our long weekend with two other friends/families recently in a small beach town near-by. We rented this nice four-bedroom house close to the beach which we hardly visited!! - not that I want to visit in this cold winter weather but if driving past counts as visit then yeah- tick it as been there. But I must agree we had such a wonderful & relaxed family/friends time cooking/watching movies/making up stories/Making fun/most of all having a normal adult conversations after a long time without having to worry about kids. During the whole trip, A hardly wanted us except for few basic things. Most of the time he was self-occupied with his friends playing board games or cards or watching movies. Impressive bit is kids actually took the DVD from its case & worked it out how to play it in the player and sincerely put it back in the case after watching it without us telling or doing it for them. Simple joy of parenting you wouldn’t understan...

Travelling was always my cup of tea.. I love it even more if I get it do it alone sometimes.. Its like rediscovering yourself in your own pace. So G pushed me to do this since he felt I'm eating his brains doing nothing :) .. This trip planned for 2 reasons, one to have "my time" another one is to see how my son behaves if I go away for one night. I can say it was a happy ending.. Joey had great time with his dad and I have been telling him I'm on my school tour just like his and will only come on Sunday. For almost 3yr old , he understood well enough.. I was little nervous until Friday even double minded to drop this plan. But my other self was challenging me to do this for my inner-self sake. I decided to it my way, new way ..completely like a budget backpacking.. Plan:   Well! actually no plan other than keeping the ground rules- Take public transport, stay at a guest house, do window shopping and try lots of street food.. I started my open minded self explorati...
