Peeping Tom!

I don't know how to react to this incident!! I am not disturbed...though I think I should be...I am not scared...should I be? OK OK enough with the preamble, let me tell you what happened.

Because we have such a lovely view, we have not put up curtains, but we have hung blinds from the roof, out side the window. So there is a space between the blinds and the window.

I had the lights out and just put H2 to sleep and decided to lie down next her until Hubby finished putting H1 to bed in the next room. After about a minuit after lying down, I felt water splashed on my hair. I got up and sat in bed and looked towards the window. There was a man in shorts standing between the blinds and he window. I thought hubby was playing a trick on me and just stared for a couple of seconds. Because there was no reaction from the person standing there, I reached for the light and switched it on. It wasn't my Husband!!!

I screamed ''Thief! thief!'' (I should have screamed &*%$ing pervert!!! but my mind was numb you see). Of cause the bastard bolted.

Hubby was trying to go after him and was looking for a baton. We have none in the house! (time to go shopping!) and there he was trying to go after the fellow with a broom!!! Calls to neighbours and everyone was going up the lane with torches flashing here and there. Of cause the pervert had vanished by then.

I think it was a loony. I mean why else would he throw water at me? Hoping I'd wake up and join him????

Anyway, I am going to put up thick curtains at least in our bedroom now!

Up in the air!

There I was getting dressed to go out. I did not expect H1 to walk in on me.

So, picture me, naked with my derrière up in the air, bending down to pick up the underwear I dropped.  I hear a gasp and H1 goes "I sure hope I don't get to see that again!'' and walks off.

If that wasn't a ROFL moment I don't know what is! How does a six year old come up with such a witty comment? Maybe it was the shock! ;)

Monkey praising it's own tail?

See the new title picture? I did it in Corel DRAW. My meagre skills seems to be improving.....

It's been so long....

Just realized that I haven't blogged in 3 months! THREE months??? Time sure does fly when you are busy.
Not only have I not written, I have kept away from the blogs I love to read as well. I missed all of you....I did often think of you...Some of you, I have on my FB page, so I did manage to glimpse what was happening in your lives.

I am going to try at least to drop by. I will cause I really missed you guys.

So, what have I been up to? and my two little hoots? Hmmm...H1 is being the same old drama queen that she always has been. Actually her theatrics are getting worse, if that is a possibility! You want an example? This she posted on her door after a tantrum.

So, yes, I am dreading those teen years. Notice that she has crossed out Hubby and me? And the declaration that 'Until I want you to come...?' Yes, I do want to bang my head on the wall....

My little H2. Ooooooooh she's the cutest thing! She can say ''Denna" (give) now. She actually says ''Deeeeeeeeennnnnaaaaaaa'' but it works for us. She can say star and car too. When she sees a picture of a dog, she goes ''buh buh''. Her vocabulary is a lot less than H1's was at 15 months, but she sure knows how to get her message across by pointing and grunting.
You want an example? She's usually taken for a walk in the afternoon and she somehow senses the time for this. One day, when it didn't look like it was going to happen, she picked up my slippers, dropped them at my feet, pointed and grunted in a way that clearly said ''Put these on Ammi!'' Then she said ''Baba'', picked up her shoes and pointed at her feet. Once I put them on for her, she pointed at the door and said ''ah, ah', ah''

When she get's hungry, she points to the pantry and smacks her lips. When she wants something opened she twists her hands and goes ''gnnnnnnnn'', the way we'd grunt trying to open a tight lid :)
Come to think of it, she'd make an excellent mime artist.

Phew...it feels good to write again. Do drop in more often now that I am back ;) (Fingers crossed!)

The Past Few Weeks

...I've been too lazy to update this blog :(

- So, my one year old had a teensy weensy teeny tiny party to celebrate her birthday. I almost feel guilty that I didn't do the crazy elaborate celebration I had for her sister. A pool part with about 50 people. But we used the money we would have spent on a crazy party to help a solder who needed funds for an operation, so I feel glad. I mean H1 doesn't remember her first b'day. It was more of a celebration for me than her, so I think H2 will forgive me later in life.

- H2 walks about a bit now... extremely unsteady, but she does seem to prefer standing and walking to sitting and crawling. When the phone rings, she holds her palms upto her ear as if she has a phone in her hand, it's sooo cute that I want to squeeze her every time.

- We went off to a hotel for a couple of days and realized that we haven't been on a holiday for so long when H1 started jumping on the bed exclaiming, 'Oh! I am soooo happy. I am sooooo very happy to be on holiday' ;)

- I had to leave the two kids without me for the first time ever when I had to go on a two day work related workshop. I was a little concerned about H2 because she still breast feeds in the night. I was so happy that both the kids had handled the separation well. H2 did cling to me the whole of the next day when I came back though.

- I am madly in love with a vampire. Seriously! There I was snickering at all the teen hype about the Twilight series and was putting off reading the books because I just didn't want to get on the bandwagon. Boy! Was I wrong. Read Twilight and now I am in the middle of New Moon. Bought all the movies, but I don't want to watch them till I finish the books. I want an Edward...I do...Sorry hubby honey, I love you madly as ever...but I do wish you'd turn into a vampire ;)

So, what have you been up to lately?

She's ONE!!!!

My little Hooty 2 is ONE today

You've brought us nothing but joy everyday

Ammi, Thaaththi and Akki are so blessed

because you are the best

at chasing all our blues away!

Embrace Life...

This one’s for all those idiots who don’t wear seatbelts..... 

This one’s for all those wanna be murderers who talk on their phones while driving......

This one’s for all those fucktards who weave in and out of traffic with horns tooting, lights blazing just cause they think they own the roads.....

Yes I am angry! Yes I am frothing mad, because I have to do more of defensive driving every morning and evening to avoid these bastards, to get home safely to my family.

It makes me angry and sad to see a banner with a little six year old’s smiling photo in front of a school. A death notice.…a motor cycle accident…because he didn’t wear a helmet….(the father survived) because the law doesn’t state that he should. It makes me angry every time I see parents wearing helmets (because the law says so) and take their kids without helmets..because the law doesn’t require them to. What law abiding citizens we are!

It makes me angry when people go without seatbelts…because Sri Lankan law doesn’t say you should. It makes me angry when I see friends taking their kids in the front seat. These are people who can afford a car seat. Their excuse? The kids refuse to go alone in the back seat. For heavens sake, if the kids refuse to go without you, why can’t the mom get in the back seat with them? Discipline people...give the kids a good talking to on road safety or show them a few scary youtube videos on road accidents.

It makes me angry when people come for a party, get drunk and get behind the wheel. Hubby always makes sure that if he would drink, I would be the one driving us back. If I can’t, he will not touch that drink.

That’s taking responsibility for your life as well as others. STOP being selfish! STOP taking life for granted. STOP thinking of small comforts such as travelling in the front seat more important than preserving the lives of your loved ones. STOP and think before you get behind that wheel……STOP to embrace life.....
