Drama Queen

Summer Vacation has started. I was working from home today and my friend left her son with me too. The kids were busy the whole day. In the afternoon, when i was done with my phone calls, i asked them to play wii. They decided to play "Are you smarter than the 5th grader" and one of the questions was about drama artists and Ashu and his friend were stuck and were wondering which one was the right answer and i came to the kitchen to make some tea and while waiting for it, i helped them with the answer. Ashu's friend was doubtful and whispered into Ashu's ears whether he should pick that or not and Ashu says, "Oh trust my mom. She knows a lot about acting". Don't know where he got that from...Makes me wonder if he thinks i am a drama queen :-)

Cool boy!

Time flies fast..Can't believe the school year is almost over. We moved 12 hours before Ashu's school started. I still start hyperventilating when i think of that time. It was soooo hectic that it still gives me nightmares...Anyways, when someone at work calls me out of the blue for some issues and notices the change in my phone number and they say hey i didnt know you moved to nashville, i say the standard answer...well, it's almost 6 months! Still living in the past :0)

Today, Ashu had field day and he had coloured his hair red at one of the booths. He said he and his friend both did that :) i didnt meet his friend though. He had left for the day already. I loved what they did on ashu's hair. He looked super cool! Today was one of the no homework days too..So, it was nice :)
AJ was kinda surprised to see Ashu's hair and kept asking him questions and i thought Mr.Virat Kohli aka AJ would come and ask me to colour his hair next. Thankfully, he didnt....Yet!

First and Second - What's the difference?!

If Ashu made a bad choice and i said Ashu if you dont stop doing that i will delete Little einsteins or George shrinks he would immediately stop doing it and listen to me!

With AJ - if i say "AJ i am going to delete Cat in the hat if you dont stop doing that"
AJ says "That's fine, i will delete Super singer!" and continues with what he is doing!! :-O

Discipline!

I spent hours on sorting the books and yelled at the kids that they do not mess up the book shelves any more. It was really a huge mess that i almost cried when i cleaned it up. Anyways, i told them that they need to bring 10 books each from upstairs and put it in the book basket in living room and read only those until they are done with them. When they are done they need to take it back, put it in the exact place they got them from and take the next 10 books. I was so proud of my rules! What i didnt do was, i didn't complete putting all the books back in the shelves. I did 60% of it - Sorted in groups according to age. The rest 40% was sorted too, but were piled up on the floor. I couldn't get to it next couple of days as work was hectic. Then, i went yday and the books were strewn all over the room. It was quite a sight, really! I almost fainted because, AJ had pulled some more from the shelves and thrown them across. A humongous book mess. All was done in very little time because we hardly spent any time at the house during that time. I sat down and sorted and put away again. This time 90% was done. I am human after all! Couldn't do any more. Today morning i woke up mad because of this and i told AJ in a stern voice that i was so upset the previous night because of the huge mess he made and what he did was wrong and he says "Why did you go upstairs in the night? You are supposed to sleep in the night"!

Gaaahhh!! What will i do when he is a teenager?!! I know, i will be ordering a wig!!

Here i have to give credit to the big kid Ashu. He did not take any book other than what he picked for the week and when he was done, he conveniently went back to dad's kindle!

Friday the 13th!

Today was supposed to be Field day at Ashu's school and last evening they sent a mail saying that it is postponed due to bad weather forecast. Ashu said, "I knew it!" and i asked how and he said "Well, they selected Friday the 13th, the unluckiest day and it was bound to happen"!

Come to think of it, today was the election results..What does that mean?!

Super singer!

I was a decent singer, i think. I am saying this because i have won some prizes in light music competitions when i was in college and i am saying "i was" because my voice is quite hoarse these days thanks to allergies and also my boys. If one has to call out their names 100 times every day, in a loud voice, what else can be expected? I could sing at very high pitch..now if i try that i would probably sound like a squeaking mouse..I still love music and i sing (and sometimes miss my way) my favorite songs while driving. After i started watching super singer this singing fever has gone up and this week one of my favorite singers sang ennuyire from uyire movie and it just stuck in my mind and i was singing that while doing some chores and i was singing only that song for the last two days and AJ asks " Mommy, is that a never ending song? " What a decent way to say "Shut up"!!

Innocence

Today AJ told me "Mommy, i made a "surprise" gift for you at school"
Mean Mommy said : "like what"
AJ spills : a paper flower and a mother's day plate

Ashu and Mommy : Muahahaha (*very wicked laughter*)

Ashu gave me a cute heart already..Will post the photo on mother's day..
