...or that is what I thought, when the husband who usually starts at half past seven, declared that he would be leaving an hour early, (and cleverly dodging when I asked him if that would mean he'd be back an hour earlier as well!). This meant I finish cooking breakfast & lunch early which actually means I WAKE UP by 5.00 am!After packing the food and sending the husband off, I see the clock. Just 6.30 am and the kids are fast asleep. I could hit the pillow, I think...or use the time qualitatively to browse..Tada!I send out a little thanks to my husband's orgn who decide to prepone working hours thanks to the planned outages in the city. For a person with one little rascal pestering for a missing crayon and another (who could not even stand without support)trying to climb onto the edge of the sofa with his recenly tonsured head exactly the minute I sit to check mails, an hour of no disturbance from kids means time for myself! So I threw the idea of taking a nap out threw the window and went to have a quick shower with masterplans of reading atleast one post from each of the missed blogs (for over a year), posting a school related query in the parenting forum, and sending pics of recent kids to a cousin who has sent death threats for not doing so for a long time. I step out to quickly check the kids only to find the second brat wide awake, mosquito net flung in a corner and crawling quickly to reach his brother with the ulterior motive of waking him.I grit my teeth and stare at him angrily. The little ladoo flourishes one of his lovely smiles in return and hugs my legs tight.I put the baby on my lap and start rocking him, with the 'raa ra venu' song.. Because I don't sing very well, he slept immediately, and with him in my lap I write this blog:D
Just one of those joys of motherhood!

And I am so glad for this :)
Saying Good to see a post from you will sound cliched but WTH! Just last week I checked yours &Priya's FB Pages in hope of an update but was disappointed. Then I thought of sending a mail to you but...
My hubby has felxi timings and he said I wud like to leave by 7:15 and come back early. I refused to cook for him. Now he leaves at 9 ;)
Hows ladoo? When is he turning one?? My ladoo gopal has turned naughtier!!! I dunno how u will handle 2 boys!!!
Inspiring! I don't cook in the morning and have a just-started-to-crawl-all-over-the-place infant and yet I'm struggling to manage. How do you do it! Hey Smita, I have also been calling my little one laddoo gopal since last couple of days for the 2 laddoos in his cheeks :-)
@Smits!ladoo turned one recently:)I do come in FB for a total two mins time;)handling the brats is tough, can't complain though, I asked for it:D
@Reema-I find cooking when the kids are asleep(even if it means waking up early) very peaceful. O/w there's nothing but the gas stove left in the kitchen. Not to mention the banging noise of pots and pans.
hey there! just randomly checked and so glad to see this post :D i can totally correlate to the (sometimes dubious) joys of motherhood. i sing equally well as you, however my lil guy never sleeps as easily :) happy belated birthday to your lil fellow too ...
@smita -- aagh i know, have been bad at keeping in touch! like bubbles i come in for 2 mins too :( how are u and the lil gopal :D

And Reema Ladoo Gopal is cute na??? hehehehe I keep changing his names and the bugger repeats whatever I say!!!
Wait till u get there when they start walking-running-and talking nineteen to dozens. That day I was so irritated with his chant that I asked my Mom "did I used to do this to you" and my mom said, you bet!!! Sigh!!!!
This places looks like a Momma's club :D
cp-lady, how hv you been?Smits.excuse our papaya, I'll send few pics soon and we'll take it up from there.. and cp, my first was very bad with his sleeping habits as well.. but I'm a bit better (I guess) with my 2nd in judging when to put him to sleep, so it gets better, Smits got the hint?;)
*ignores the hint and closes the window*
