Today is the second mothers day to me after Ada and I made some plans yesterday that I will go out with Ada and pramod and may be pramod will give me flowers and a card on behalf of Ada.. And yeah none of that happened :) I am finally sitting with my iPad to have a blog post that is long over due.
Time just flies and as a mother I know my day begins with Ada and ends with her. Morning to our surprise Ada woke up about an hour later ( at 6.30 am) all smiling. Then we had the ritual of her milk followed by first breakfast, in between playing with her entertaining her. Then little bit of Zumba and little pranayama. I did sit today to start yoga, but could not start. In between numerous time Ada will come with her books and will ask me to read it to her. Then her ritual of potty followed by bath. Then her second ayah comes and leaves also for good, leaving me to do all the dusting. Then it is already 10.30 am. Time for Ada s second breakfast. After it gets over at around 11.30, I am already thinking about lunch. Lunch is cooked for her and along with rhyme, she finished her lunch at around 1.30 pm. She decided dot skip her nap session today. We tried several times but it did not work out. Next thing was for us to have lunch. Then I realized there are lots of clothes in washing machine lying to be washed. So I set that up. Then started pressing Ada's clothes ( tomorrow to school day and they demand evey cloth need to be ironed) . It took me a solid 2 hours to finish ironing. Then there were some of her clothes without buttons and some with stitches gone, I started stitching in hand. By then it was already time for Ada's first snack. I squeezed a rosogollah in milk, boiled it for sometimes and then fed her( this is one of the ecommended snack by her nutritionist). By now I am already tired but the young lady is not. The moment I went to lie down she brought in my sleeper to the bed. Then I ended up playing with her. One hour later she is hungry again I fed her some puffed rice( again a recommendation by her nutritionist) now she is showing signs of slowing down. We discovered a flat tire on our car, so pramod is busy fixing it downstairs. Next thing Ada wants is to take her by the window, so that she can enjoy boys playing football. Fine, I obliged. Then our cook is in, I ask her to start doing coking then my your lady asks for biscuits and the moment she has it, she falls asleep... Finally some time to myself. I went ahead to take a shower and brush ( yes on holidays I brush only in the evening). At about 6.30 pm, I am planning to have some tea, Ada is up again and crying. This time I hold her and gave her some milk and finally after holding he rfor 45 minutes, she slept again.
Now with her maid gone, I have to do her cooking, so I boiled milk and cooked her food. At 9.30 pm, I am done with chores for the mothers day. I am now wondering how people manage with multiple babies. Hats off to all mothers.
