K and I took last Monday off for
admin purposes J. We had some work at
the Indian Consulate in a nearby town.
Since it was our day
off, we snoozed the alarm. Then woke up with an alarm at 0730! There was
exactly 1 hour to hit the road. Two of us split and divided and conquered the
morning chores. Chiyaa was quite happy to see mummy hang around. She was also
very excited that I was going to drop her. Pumpki on the other hand was the
proper drama queen. She knew something was afoot and made a long mopey face and
made everything very very hard to do. But, being the assertive parents that we
are, we got them packed off to their respective destinations. After that our
destination was the consulate. Our job got done quicker than we expected. Score!
So we decided to have some breakfast and shop for rugs. We are oh! so getting
old! We did not get the rug of choice, but I did manage to find a plant which I
bought immediately - much to K's chagrin of course!
Once back home, we
decided to go for a run. Lately us middle aged couple have taken on running. It
started with I dragging Chiyaa along. But she is a very reluctant runner. But I
wanted to, and I pulled K. When Amma was around, it was our “us” time. Just running
quietly J So we went for a massive 8km
run while was very tiring but amazing fun. I miss my days with roomie dear and
Ashu when I used to go for walks with them. Again just quiet time, when we felt
at peace! Some day girls, we will do it again!
Once back from the
run, it was time for quick meal prep. We had decided to pick the kids sooner. So
no after school club for Chiyaa and early pick for Pumpki. The kids had so much
more energy once home which made them so less cranky! But by 1930, they had run
out of ideas to engage. They had read their books, had their supper. Chiyaa had
done a bit of schoolwork and there was still time for bed. Anyways we decided
to have an early night in.
It was the perfect
busily relaxing day I could ask for J And today the mayhem of
the buses began!!!
