Kids can be thoughtful

It's already mid week and I've been doing well this week with schedules. :)
There are not so much of nice events to watch at work. :(

Last weekend was a rather nice weekend with no planned activity. So just as I headed out not knowing where to go, I asked Nishan for a suggestion. He asked me to go to Valco Mall saying "Isn't that where JC Penney Store is". I tried asking him why we would go to a mall that's so dead in the midst of a renovation with nothing to do for there are play areas in the other malls. He reminded me that there's a train display store. I told him that the train display is open only once or twice in a month. Well, we did go to Valco Mall. As soon as we entered JC Penney and walked up, he took me to the watch section and said "Mom, go look for a watch...thats why I brought you here. I don't care if the train store is closed." That's when I remembered that I had told him a few days ago that I was left with just one watch and asked him not to play with it. I was totally impressed!!!! Hope he stays that way as he grows up. :)

I am on my own...Life is tough

With my parents leaving and husband still in India, here I go finding out the real struggles of a single mom. The week has just started and I can already see eye bags and the headaches come every day. :(

It's such a relief that the navaratri season is over and weekends can be more relaxing. It's funny that navaratri in south india also used to have costume dressing (just for kids) as part of the 9 night festival. And here comes the halloween in a few weeks. Luckily, my son is dying to put back the same batman costume that he had for last year. I hope he doesn't change his mind.

Just a day or two before my parents left, I was switching on the home X system and my son says "Mom - Grandma asked me to tell you that you can't switch on the music especially when you go to the shower"...Then he also says "You can switch it on after they leave to India"...How smart!!!

Sex and the city movie - great example of premature aging

Finally, I managed to see "Sex and the city" movie on DVD. I felt like I was watching the movie a good 20-30 yrs after the TV series and that was all due to the disgraceful aging that SJP has gone through. Now, I will vote for “Sarah Jessica Parker-Looks-Like-a-Horse”. :)

Other than that, all the other girls looked very good and much younger than how they looked in the TV series. It’s no doubt the other gals managed to get better make-up artists or may be Botox (???)

October is National Breast Cancer awareness month. GO PINK!
