Well, long weekends make me relive my school years; the monday morning blues...lol, today was one such day, to make it worser, I had my 3 feet holding on to me n pulling my shirt (in vain!!) as to stop me from going to work....
Usually my moppet would cry out loud in anger, but today, i heard him sob leaning on to the wall, as I locked the main door behind me...I mused "Hope this guy does not grow up one day and tell me that I didnt stay back to take care of him"...I really hope he understands that I had to do it to make the load lighter for his Dada!! N I trust God that, he will :)
It really makes me wonder some times, when we were young, I did see a working mom, but she took a long break to raise all of us....N in the end, she is well respected for choosing to stay back. It was an easy decision for me, when Abel was born that I would opt to conitue my job. But 3 years from then, I wonder if god allows me another child, may be i may choose to remain a Home maker for a while....if finances and situations permit that is..
I had work and had to stay back till 6:00 and by the time I reached home it was 7:00...
At the turn of the keys, my bud comes running, fully excited to see me...trust me I forget the pressures of life with that welcome. N we fill in on how we spent our days, and to lift him up, I'd bought some cheese (yes, we've found a PLACE to hide it ....in the veg cabinet in the refrigerator ::) ) much to our surprise, he has not explored that area yet...which is a boon.
I also gave him some dark chocholate (he calls it "bitter") to pep him up....
He was so excited that he wanted to know the name of the chocholate, n the name of the cheese.
I've noticed that he observes the logos a lot, it was 'al Marai' cheese than his usual 'Kiri' and he said mumma ...Is this is the "milk's cheese" ??
It didnt strike me first, so then he pointed his finger at the logo and said see mumma...
I was like "Wow, yes abel it is the same"
As were waiting for Abel's Dada to come, we thought of calling his "Atti"...
So i dialled, n he held the phone...n he started clacking to his atti ..wonder who answered..the phone. He filled in all of them with news related to each one. To Atti he was askign when she would come home. Poor thing still thinks she is going to come back, and it is so amazing that he points at a green t-shirt and says "atti koodae, schoolil wannata" means 'with Atti, he'd been to school wearing that shirt"
He asked if appacha and ammachi was there, n I guess he asked if Boney chacha was around.
With boney, he said that abel went visiting his mom...n my god he did not miss to say how he managed to flick Aunty's jeera candy !! He did speak to appacha n ammachi but could not make who he was talking to...
In the evening when Benoie came, he wanted to go to a Med shop to get some 3M™ Medical Transfer Adhesive to cover the surgery patch on B's face. Abel insisted that he wanted to join, he instructed "Mumma, gimme my Bike jaket"...
I said "No, Abel it is too cold outside"
Abel: "No mumma, i wannnta go with Dada"
B :"Abel, be here I will come back soon"
Abel rushes off to the wardrobe and opens the door to spot his jacket, unfortunately it is too high for his reach..and he shouts "Mummaa, come here...my jacket ...spider !!"
Well in the end, we decided that they both go for the "hunt" .
That gave me room to do some ground work for the DEc 31st watch night service. I'd volunteered to bake cakes for the night and have to do a few so that all of the church members gets a share :)
After work, i'd got some icing and fruit for the cake. N I moved on to bake one, now that abel was not around. I was done with the cake preparation and set it in the cooker....it was almost 20 mins and began to wonder what was taking so long for the duo to return. N lo after 25 mins they came back, B is happy that he smelt cake as he entered and was glad that it was double chocholate this time. So Abel hurries to the Kitchen and his Nanny asks.."Where did you go Abel"
He says : "Weruthaey shopill poyetha" meaning "We went just like that to a shop"
Benoie says, they had to walk up to more than 2 stores and didnt find the tape that he was looking for. Poor Abel must have been wondering why he volunteered to walk up with his Dada.
