mothers day reflections

Had a lovely mother's day yesterday. 

woke up in the morning to the sound of my baby crying. coz she was upset her dad "copied" her idea of getting a flower for mother's day and beat her to it  by giving it the day before 

she's 10. doesn't know flowers is the norm. for her it was special. her idea to get her mum a flower and appa copied her idea. so precious. 

and now I wouldn't be as surprised or would think she copied from him

it was so sweet and tender. saro really made my day giving it me earlier coz I was exhausted and feel under appreciated haha. but this precious baby's sweet feelings were hurt and we both hugged back to normal and were closer than ever that morning. saro hugged her and made me so happy

then she gave me this simple beautiful hand made card that said best mum. she made it look 3d with ther colouring effect. 

then ashwin got up got ready in  short i bought him and not his favourite but he wore it for me ! 

then I had the pleasure of making breakfast for the family. eggs. I could make ashwin three and give him a protein banana milk shake. made me super happy. and a banana chocolate milkshake for aishu. I rarely do these things. so that made me happy 

then I supervised lunch and made some of it too all came out great. roasted cauliflowers. cheesy potatoes. baked fish. New pepper chicken recipe that i love and can't wait to have with tofu and green pepper soon. and an amazing vegetable scrambled egg with keerai and coriander and asparagus and green pepper and chilie and onion- ooh lah lah. 

and a water melon salad. I resisted eating cooked food till late night too. 

more than that did the intuition practice with akshaya at night and she wanted to practise after that. made me so happy  

so yeah good mother's day! 

wow

saro has been offered the post of secretary at mariamman temple. its a huge honour

he wants and needs family support 

we do

but we have all been scarred the last time he took on 2 temples which meant 3 temples 

and so kids let him know how they felt yesterday 

a tearful evening all round 

they and i don't want to lose what we have with him now

kids made valid points. they don't want to make an appt to see him. they want him to be available. otherwise it doesn't feel like family. 

so let's see. 

saronsaid he'll try to wake up mornings and spend time with kids then..

between saro and me we will try to fix some days a week to meet as a family. e.g. Wednesdays.
