Though I am going through a phase when I’m usually harried or depressed….there are some genuinely light moments….thanx to maya.

A few days back, maya & I were watching some movie on tv. Noah was asleep. Since its diwali hols, sleeping deadlines for maya are a lil relaxed.

Among the ads that play again & again in between the numerous breaks, there was one on sanitary napkins…for all nite protection….stayfree i think. the girls in the ad are shown sleeping in various positions. one in a running position, one like a dancer & one goes round & round like a clock needle. but during their periods they all are in a ’savdhan’ position. etc. etc.

So i just casually commented to maya…that ‘u r like that clock needle’. She too goes all round the bed in her sleep at nite. So she tells me….even i’ll wear stayfree all nite. then i’ll too stop moving around & bcome ’savdhan’. I just stifled my laughter.

It was so damn funny coming from her….a 5 year old….i wonder what she thinks the product is. Maya’s dad & i just cudnt stop laughing when he came home & i told hime about this.

The posts are few & far in between now. Was trying to juggle looking after Maya, Noah & managing home. Now that my maternity leave’s over, i have one more thing added to my list.

Have just begun working from home. And am struggling. I had a lady to help with the baby & dusting, running around etc. But she decided to leave a month back…just like that. So I’m hunting again. Not that she was much help with Noah, since he’d firmly decided he’d stick only to his mom. But at least she was there to do other odd jobs.

Even now, Noah just doesn’t go to anybody else. 10 mins is the maximum he’ll stay without seeing my face…even with his father. That really puts me in a tight spot. Having a bath too has to be really quick. Thankfully after 8 pm he falls asleep & sleeps thru the nite. So I’m free then. But thruout the day he has to be continuously entertained…spoken to, fed, put to sleep….by me. So I am too tired by the end of the day to really do too much.

So the hunt goes on….am hoping I’ll find help soon. & hopefully it will be someone who Noah will get along with. Am keeping my fingers crossed.
