THE TWO HANDSOME MEN IN MY LIFE :)

Happy anniversary Hubby dear...

And happy 20th Month to my darling Jason...

Love you both more than anything in this life.

HOME AND JASON...

Its been almost a month now since we have shifted to our new house, and we are still unpacking :o

I know... its such a tiring job to unpack each and every single box and try to find a perfect place for all the stuff. And only after unpacking we realized that we have so many useless things. Why don’t we just throw off things, we wont be using again, instead of dumping it in the base of the cupboard or under the cot. Phew...I am really tired. I still have some more stuff, which I have no idea what to do with.

The best part of the flat is, its full of light and nicely ventilated. Since its at the 3rd floor, there is a nice breeze always. The morning sun rays fall directly into our dining room. Jason’s favorite game is to play with his shadow in the mornings.

There is a Old Age Home in front of our flat. And every morning I see the cook and his assistance preparing the breakfast. It’s a three storied building and as far as I could see from our flat, its fully occupied. From one of the window I can see three old ladies sleeping on their respective cots all day long. Once in a while they get up for their food and other essentials. Other than that they are always on bed. May be they are sick or not fit enough to walk around. I really feel sad for them. All alone, abandoned by their children, no one to speak to or to share their sorrows. Just waiting to leave this world. How can anyone sleep peacefully after leaving their parents at places like this. And that to at the time when they really need us. There is this man there who keeps making a painful "Ahhhhhhh....." sound. Though its not audible while there is other noise around, but can be heard sometimes at nights. He maybe in some pain or must be mentally challenged, don’t know. I just hope they get better, or leave for heaven without suffering much.

That’s the cook, with a vessel full of rice. Getting ready for lunch.

Now moving over to Jason ( for whom I actually stared the blog, but don’t write much about), he was down with diarrhea for five days. Poor thing, he did not even the strength to stand up. Now thankfully he is doing fine and his appetite is also back. Even though he is not eating as much as I wanted him too, at least he is eating something. That itself is such a relief.

Other than that, he is talking a lot now. Even though he is not able to pronounce each and every word, but is able to convey his messages and queries. He tries to repeat the words we say. Like maammy for mummy (my mother in law), ijjee for lijy ( ya.. he calls me by name), appaa, pappa for papa, baa for ba (come), tatta baba chee uu for tata bye bye see you, venna for venda (don’t), nono for no-no and many many more. The other day he was counting his fingers, thoo thee (two three), the only numbers he know. He has even started to scold us. If he does not like something I do, normally while making him wear his shorts or pants, he keeps the index finger on his lips, looks at me sternly, says NONO, and a slap on my face. What am I supposed to do? laugh or scold him.

He is his papa’s boy. And I am JEALOUS. He doesn’t care a damn about me when hubby is at home. Hubby gets free hugs and loads of kisses. While mama will be pleading for a kiss, and get a bite in reply :( You should see the way he tries to push me out of the car, as if its only for him and his papa. As soon as hubby is ready to go out, Jason is ready with his papa’s shoes and then his to go with him. While hubby goes to office, he takes Jason along with him in the lift, and after reaching ground floor, I distract him with lift lights and get him back. That’s the only way I can control him.

He is becoming very naughty, throwing things around, and being fussy about food. He even tried to break my nose with the mouth organ. Actually it so happened that, when I blew into the organ, obviously there was some music. But no sound would come when he blew into it. It actually looked like he was kissing the thing :). So my son gets angry and hits me with it. Luckily my nose is still in one piece, but there is a nice scar to remember this ‘hit and laugh’ case.

So that’s how life is going on... how about yours? I hope you din have to break any of your bones to please your kid :)



Look how happily he is watching his and hubby's picture. No one wants mama :(

HOME SWEET HOME

Its such a lovely feeling to wake up every morning in your own house (at last!!!!)

Its been a difficult journey, but the result is sweet, really sweet.

We have been hunting for a house from the last 3 years. We had even booked a flat in b’lore but had to cancel it because we shifted to Chennai. Here too we went to see some flats and plots. But did not work out, as most of them wont fit in our budget and the rest were not in the city itself. So we had left it to God. Then one fine day we came to know about this flat, and everything fell into places and we bought the house. We renovated the kitchen and one of the bathrooms, did some woodwork, painting etc and planned for the house warming function to be held on the 4th of sept.

The function was nice. My parents came down. My Sister-in-laws could not make it as their kids had exams. The only problem was that we had planned to shift to the new house within a couple of days. But the work was incomplete. The painting, polishing , carpentry work was still remaining. The contractor promised the painting and polishing will be done in two days and then we could shift, and the rest of the work will continue with us staying there. We agreed. Next day he says he needs more time. We agreed to shift by 14th. We could not wait any longer, as the new tenants were coming to occupy the (rented ) house. We had to vacate the house.

So we packed and left, but after reaching here, we realized that there was no way we could stay in our new house. The work was not completed. So we had to dump all our stuff into one of the bedrooms and stay in the neighbor, Koshy Uncle’s house. God Bless Them. I have no idea what we would have done without them. We slept, bathed, ate... everything in their house. And waited for the work to be completed. After three days, the other two bedrooms were fixed and we shifted our stuff there. But we could not do any cooking in the kitchen, so had to have food at Koshy Uncles house. As of now, 90% of work is finished, and we have almost settled down.

There are all good families around us. And I am loving my life here. Even Jason has made friends. There is Jaania and her brother Jeffin, and Alvin and brother Eric. But his best friend is Koshy Uncle himself. He keeps scolding Jason for sucking his fingers. So what my naughty son does now is, as soon he sees uncle, he will put his fingers in his mouth and smile teasingly. Its fun to watch them fight with each other. His other friend is Koshy Uncle’s son, Sinu. Jason likes to go to his room and listen to songs and play with his computer.

So all in all, with God’s grace life is quite good. Only the once in a while, money issues which will also eventually get solved.
