I've had a dreamy week, that is, a week where i seem to have dreamt most of my quota of dreams! Dreams where the main players are mostly my kids and sometimes the hubby, just saying. (sheesh! i think i dig myself deeper everytime i try to explain *wry grin)
I get up in the very wee hours of the mornings thinking to myself that THIS would make a wonderful story/book/movie and then i fall asleep again. Needless to say when i finally arise, the dream remains just that! nothing but a vague dream! Because i just cannot remember what it was about the dream that was so interesting!
Most of the time, i've a sneaking suspicion that the kids see me as a giant mobile phone (why mobile phone? beats me! ) where they press various buttons to make me do a certain thing.
For example, press one to make amma dance...to their tunes. Press two to cook favorite food, press three to start a slanging match...press four to make her tear her hair out..., press five to test the karate kick..., press six to play 'bored' games..., press 7 to whine and whine till she gives in..., press 8 to put her on mute!
Can you tell that vacations are on?!!!!
A two week break for those wonderful teachers to catch their breath and for us parents to lose ours! I'm right now an 'always on demand' mom!
I bet they are having fun!

my mom is with my two daughters when I am at work and she feels similarly. Like the last day of summer vacation, she is so happy that she is almost dancing as she walks. we have our spring break coming up as well, but for us it is only 1 week :)

you made me totally miss my mobile phone..
I am having some weird dreams too :D catch my blog for more :|
At least you are a very good mother to your kids. Having that jolly attitude makes you even more in demand.
My kids have spring break next week. Arggh
And we mobile phones are always charged. Can never run out of battery..right?:)
how come they never press the switch off button...even by accident !!!???
sigh...still two more weeks of school for me before the break.
Enjoy the breathlessness !!!!!
So Red alert has been sounded.
And some mothers are quite smart like my sister. She is sending her kids to our place. Two Naughty Boys.... Making a plan to fortify myself :)
Mobile phone--lucky you! ;-) Most of the times I feel like a Faucet..useful but only when you want something out of it :P :)
"My holidays" are going to start soon too :)
Cheers
