Random Musings
The memorial day weekend – a glorious 3 day weekend was spent cleaning our house. We had planned on going somewhere but we were not able to get a hotel in the last minute and we cancelled it. The kids had a great time playing what ever they wanted and watching a bit too much…
Snippets from my week
This week went by so quickly that I almost hate it. Sarath’s school is closed today and Monday being memorial day, he gets a 4 day weekend. Since I don’t have to worry about getting lunch ready in the morning or getting Sarath ready for school, I get a 4 day weekend as well 🙂…
Guestimation

Today was one of those days where I wish I could put myself in a time out and only come out when the kids are in bed. Sanjay drove me crazy today. I am not sure if it is terrible two’s or something much worse. He woke up in the morning and started crying and…
