Living Life to the Fullest

Last day of half-day working at the office and I'll be working full day after a gap of one and a half years. Not that I've really been working half day actually. Now that I've got a reliable internet connection and can work from home, I've just been taking unnecessary pressure and advantage of my dear mother's indulgence. Not that it's great work either but there is lots of it for sure. But I've decided that I'm going to work only for 8 hours in the office, not more. And I want to stop working at home afterwards too. My son has only a month of holidays left now and he's restless all the time. We've put him into swimming and started him off on badminton too but we are not able to do either on weekdays thanks to the fact that it is only my husband and I that can give him coaching in these two things respectively. So over the weekdays he's mostly irritable after finishing his daily quota of TV and ends up caned either by mother or me after having exhausted us. Promises follow but the same story the next day. Today finally I thought of fulfilling my old promise of joining him into a library but we were too late to step in. Tomorrow I'll try again, even my father hopes to find some useful books there.

I've become a Dale Steyn fan thanks to this year's IPL. Though his team is doing abysmally, he's doing a fantastic job and most of the times, all I remember is not the winner but his bowling. He's just being terrific. Of course Dravid is playing very well too and I watch only his matches regularly, may be partly because this is the last time I'll get to watch him play.

My daughter is growing up quickly, talking a lot of gibberish and making us all very happy by doing many intelligent things. She's a very loving and lovable kid and seems to have a good temperament, at least for now. She's very fond of her brother, though he treats her with a lot of indifference many a times. Of course he showers her with bursts of love often and gets upset that she's not reciprocating enough.

My son who's a huge fan of Chota Bheem stories and Panchatantra asked my husband the other day how many gold coins his boss was paying him!!
