mom of a few


I went to NYC and all I got was…

…this lowly pack of cards.

For reals! This is absolutely the only thing I bought for myself. I must admit though, I do have a weakness for cards and I do tend to walk around with a pack of cards in my bag. I have no idea why, as I rarely ever find anyone who wants to play!!

So, I drove there. Me, sids, and the kids. Now, if you’ve been on road trips with kids, you know that you have to add about 2 to 3 hours extra to the time, and if you’ve been on a road trip with me, you know that could extend to about 4 hours extra. My philosophy is that the vacation starts the minute you leave the house, so I really really like to enjoy the ride and not get stressed out about “making good time”.

My philosophy is also that photographs are good source of amusement when waiting in a car for aunty sids to come back with coffee and such!

Anyway, we got into Manhattan, which was not really our intention – because like idiots we did not pre-plan a route and solely depended on our GPS, Sarah, to get us there – and Sarah went a bit nuts. The tall buildings, the narrow streets, the interference? We’re not quite sure what happened, but she and Sid were arguing every 5 seconds!

Meanwhile, I had to traverse Canal Street traffic on a Saturday!

Finally, we did get out of the city and safely to my aunt’s house in Queens.

We only got enough time to visit the museum while we were there. It was a superly short but fun visit.

The daze

read more about: mom of a few. work at home mom.

My life right now is a complete blur.

Between drop offs, pick ups, meals, work, commuting, the ‘day job’, field trips, baths, bed time, birthdays, crafts supplies and the promise of actual crafting that doesn’t really materialize, crying, parting the fights, administering punishment, hugs, kisses, movie-time, reading, cleaning the house, laundry, oh and my boss quitting, cooking, and apparently dealing with a nap addiction… my life is giving me a headache!

How are you guys managing?
