Movie

Last day of summer holidays, day before school re-opens, however you put it, we worked very hard all of us this summer, my work, his summer camp, it was my small thank you, taran and I at movies, watched ninja turtle movie. Very special day for me....

My very own philsospher

Monday morning 11/3/2014: No for once weren't rushing go to work…everything was going as planned, Taran will get dropped at Elena’s house, I’ll drop Minnie J; I’ll pick bagels for work for Tara’s first day back from Disney vacay. Amidst all this, I was looking for that letter from USCIS and couldn't find it. I was sharing with Taran that I wasn't happy that I’m not able to find that letter.

My darling doll – replies, “Mamma, if you are not happy about one thing, you can’t be happy with anything”!!!! Amen to that my love, he got it bang on…its moments like this that he makes me super proud. It was instantaneous, his reply. Good one, my dear, I’ll remember that.

Sep 25th holiday

Halloween weekend 2014

End of the year is happening and activities, parties, get togethers, potlucks, they all seem to happen at the same time. This whole weekend was fun, pleasant….loved it. Fri morning, it strted with a party at Taran’s school, helped Mrs. Skalski a little bit, found out at giant they are selling halal chicken, personally thanked the Managers there, lol, they saved us trips to out of town to get decent meat. Fri afternoon, Tania’s parade at her school, omg they were so cute, I didn’t even mind when she threw a tantrum at the school entrance on our way back.

Fri night, went Trick or treating….was so much fun with Tania and Taran together. She started shy, she didn’t understand what was going on, but she got a hang of it soon enough, she kept saying tick or teet, and once she got her candy, she’d say, thank youuuu…people loved hearing her, she didn’t people to give her the candy, she wouldn’t even look at them if they gave her a candy, she had to choose it herself, that was  such a kicker to see, seeing her prance around in her Minnie outfit, eating candy as we got, she ate a good amount of sugar that evening…. Love them so much….taran seems to be outgrowing which is something to think about. He didn’t want to do it with his usual crowd, he chose us, Tania and I, soham, ashi, nishi and Krishav. We were a bunch…hearty bunch….

Sat morning a little touch up, laundry and prepping masala’s, marinating etc, napping, went to neighbors daughter’s first birthday party in the club house. It was perfect….

Sun it worked like a charm, woke up, V fixed simple bfast, I started cooking for the potluck, setting up…etc. Everyone came around 12-12.30 ish and it was fun. Played Mafia, got into fights, yelling at eachother, watching football meanwhile, eating, checking on kids…it was good, aunty (ashi’s mom) lost her eye glasses and we spent good amount of time looking for it.

Around late 4ish everyone left, put lil t to nap, the big T went for extended playdate and V went to DE to buy booze ha ha ha….

Quite evening watching my crime shows, thank you god for giving me a peaceful fun day. Oh wait, especially, thank you god, for letting me receive the letter from UCIS with approval for Ammi’s GC.

Sesame Place

What a gorgeous day! I was expecting quite the contrary and almost wanted to bail out. But i'm glad i went. It was super fun...kids had a blast, we girls had a blast. Sep 21st sun at sesame place with ashi, ashi's mom, isha, sohi, nishi, krishav, myself and my sweety pies. Somehow missed luna, samad and asad a lot.

Happy mamma

Happy My birthday

Tania has been sick for past few days and the night before my bday she decided to wake up every half hour during night because she was hungry. I woke up like a zombie, but the handwritten and handmade cards by kiddos cheered me enough to keep up my best, and my new versace perfume. Somehow made to work, but all day, getting emails and messages from luna, bhaiya, samad, asad, yuva, rekha, carl, priya, ashi, deepa....it just made my day. Not being on FB has made it more authentic to celebrate and feel what i want to feel rather than ....whatever. I decided to survive the day and come back home. Just as sun dawned, all my friends...dropped in to surprise me with cake and gifts and it was awesome, felt very good. Phir, just the four of us went to dinner at PFChangs and had a blast, took a stroll later...it was just wonderful day. I thanked god for everything, especially the people and giving me an experience of a good day.

Sneak a peek

He's growing up fast and i'm reminded of it everyday from his mannerisms, his changing body, his clothes. First Grade !!! it's like life in official way has begun for him...my son is getting ready and prepped up to face the real world, life experiences will not spare him, the sweet, the sour, the harsh and rough waves will all embrace him and I need to be there for him, guide him, let him make mistakes, let him live it all. I'll always miss his childhood. I'm getting teary....All i know my doll is you are my love and you have given me the most precious gift of you being in my life. Learn life and soar high...be good and do good. Pics from sneak a peek on Aug 28th 2-3pm at MCH, Mrs. Skalski is his first grade teacher, i like her, she's personable. There's no air about her, she seems approchable :) Most of his Kindergarten friends are in other classes, except Owen, Connor and there are few from Mrs. Baer's class that he's familiar with. He didnt complain, so i'm not either.

At Bath, UK

This was such a fun whirlwind kinda trip.

Birthday Card

i just love him to bits....he makes my world go merry :) 

A lot of first's

Sept 2nd 2014, taran's first day of first grade school. He was so excited, i was a nerve wreck, it's official, he officiated his school life and it'll be something else to see him go through this. 

Around 4pm Eden left a message, that Taran was with her.....I was shocked, why is he with you, shouldnt he be in aftercare at school. Apparently he got in the bus and rode home and was just there at the bus stop. It was beyond my understanding...why and how he got on the bus and what was he going to do if eden wasnt there? I drove frantically....picked Tania up, picked taran up! In midst of my figuring out about this incident, we didnt get a chance to talk much about his first day at school. 

Breezed through some cooking, and rushed to first day of soccer practice at Thornbury park....the drive was halfway through to my work. Half hour through the practice, they wanted us to evacuate due to lighting and thunderstorm. The drive back home was very interesting, zero visibility, heavy rain, two kids in the back, driving on single lane roads....

Some moments of the roaring sky just before the storm hit!

look ahead

I read a pin – if you are feeling lonely you are in bad company. It's hard to admit but I know what that means, last sat aug 9^th I said to myself, no more, no more and no more, just look ahead, don’t look back!

i wish me luck!
