google+ and a li'l update

Yesterday, was a fairly a busy day, well not at work. The thought of work puts me down a bit. It is a lot more challenging now than a few months back. And being a gravid female, makes me vulnerable to feeling so terrible at times. Then there are these moments, that I feel challenged, but the unprofessional-ism puts me off that I am.

Okay, so got into Google+ through a friend whom I haven't met in ages, well in 9 years. We went to the same school for Bachelor's :) yea. It was one of those days that I saw his FB post asking if people would like to be invited, so I saw this guy online and said okay I wanna look around and see that they have to offer. He said 'sure' and added me. Like, he warned, it is not so great a social networking tool yet, but it intrigued me since, google's tools would be accessible and when it comes to Open Source, we love such facility :) so yea, that was it. It looked pretty at an infncy stage n I'm sure the issues are at teething. Copy of most FB stuff but yea it google :)

My breakfast was done early, n by noon, it was announced that a new dad was sponsoring lunch for the team, and so yea it was KFC day again. I was happy not to eat my home-cooked food. Yes, exactly like a kid.

My SIL is admitted in the hospital, back home, and I wanted updates every few minutes, sicne it is her prime, it got me worried. Hmm no major improvements she is under observation.

Had planned to get cleanups..before I head to India, also a haircut for Gailo. On my way home, found that my lady was closed for the day. Gailo was taken for a trim, she was all so gail to go...but came home in wails :) hahha, n looked more like a boy.

Abel, these days love to give 'surprises' he calls it that way. He has these little notes for me and his daddy, saying 'God loves you mom' God loves u Dad' all packed in an envelope that he created himself. It feels good some days, n yesterday he drew me a picture of a house...n it looked like there was a long walk to reach, but yea, had to appreciate his effort.

Later, we started packing the bags, Abel, Abigail have their's ready except for gailo's slippers. I have my night wears packed, and my tops, still 2 pants has to go in. That may take till the last day.

Yet another acumen from Aibz !

When trying to take a nap on Friday, this 4 ft happened to be cruising in and out of my bedroom. I wanted to try persuading him to take a catnap, so we began out usual dialogue of 'current affairs' at home.

The topic for the day was about a new member to the the family. This year we had 3 expectant parents in the family, te first baby(in our family) of 2011 was is a 'boy' .The next one, who we alla re expecting to be a 'boy' is due in the next few weeks...So the discussion was on a name for the 3rd new baby that is expected in the end of December.

He suggested that we stick with 'Ryan'. I went on to tell him, that yes the 2 babies were boys and the third baby is not yet confirmed by a doctor to be a boy or a girl.

He was upset n said : "this has to be a 'boy', I like to have more 'boys' in the family."
I said, "Abel, if we are getting a 'girl' baby in the family, it means 'God is saying that we have wonderful boys and we don't need any more boys'"
Aibz said : ' We have Abigail (his sister)'.
I said : "Yea, God feels that the family needs more girls',
Aibz says: "'Well, if we get a girl, we will give Abigail to some family who loves girls'
I was like: "Who would be those families"

He mentioned 2 families from church, that have girls who are fond of Abigail, they pick her up right after service and actually literally fight over her :)

Abel went on to tell me.: "They can take her to their home and raise her'.

So, I said.."Well their Daddys would be upset with the additional expenses, and also they may not be as loving as we are'.
He said: "'I will tell Dada to buy her milk, and pampers and send it over to the home every week !!!!"

Needless to say that I was so so shocked...n din know whether to laugh out or to suppress my subtle fear of his affection to his sister!!!!!!!!!!!!! Is he jealour of the attention that his sister gets at home?..I was trying to think from his shoes, why does he want her out??? N like a typical person, went on to think, that being a working mom I can't impart certain things that our mom could..Oh God!!!

Pearls of wisdom...

While I was still recovering from the shock of the above, he goes off to tell me ..
"Momma when baby Jesus was born, Mary was visited by an Angel. The Angel told her about the baby's he is going to have. So this baby's Mommy will be visited by an angel in the night and she will know what baby it is"

N pausing for a while he said to me again : "the Angel appeared to Joseph, so yea the baby's Daddy will also be visited by an angel'

So I went on to say.."Well, if u think they should have a baby boy, why don't u pray?"
He said : "Did anyone pray for baby Jesus, no it was already decided so yea, no one needs to pray for a boy, it will just happen"

Wonder what made him get in to this set of thought n wonder why he likes boys !!!

Inspirations ...thoughts n rants :)

Pretty daunting are some talks,
Pretty ranting are some folks,
Hmm, makes me wonder if rants, daunts ever inspire people in a way to bring out the positive side of things :)

Its end of June, and pretty much things are moving at a pace that we do not realize. Few weeks ago we were still undecided on how and when to go on vacation, n now it is just 12 days away. It makes me wonder about life too, are we really heading towards a busy n happening life...are we forgetting what await....randomly happened to read today of the seals in Revelation, n now I wonder how prepared are we..

Is it just in a lame way of waiting till we meet the day face to face.
I'm sorry, but, must say ...it is not possible ...one may be able to pack bags even purchase a the last day, and if its off season you may even get a last minute ticket,...unfortunately that's not the way it works at the end of times...You really need to prepare it :) ...Scares me.....

Last night, during the prayer, it did stir me to see Aibz :) I do understand him on some days....but he is unpredictable !!! Why did I feel responsible for the way he was not interested in sitting for the prayer??

It pricks me that being a working mother and now an expectant mother, I hardly get time to sit down and talk how much our lives are controlled and determined by God n how dearly we need him !!! Well, I do try to talk it often with Abel, the giver of live, the source of life, reason to live all such topics..but

Can I blame my 5 year old when I don't sit or get the chance to talk to him as I had a few months back? Esp now that he can develop his thoughts if fed in the right way?? Do I need to take him to have one-one with him and spend some time for him and for my sake..????? I WILL BE HELD RESPONSIBLE no matter what, I'm sure God, doesn't care if I am a full time employee or a stay home mommie (haha!!) !!!
