Man, I wish I had said something like "Solve World Hunger" and it would have stuck in the universe! But no, vain me had said "It's going to be a long winter" and long behold the universe heard that and that's what sticking!!! Damn Me.
Be careful of the spoken word!!! Rudimentary mistake.
Last week was well "interesting" and funnily in a good way. We battled polar vortex and counted our blessings that we had the luxuries of a warm home, a supportive team and kids who managed to keep themselves entertained. And we got to new additions on our "Art wall"
- We tried the "Throw boiling water in air and watch it turn to snow" Successful"
- We tried the "Blow bubbles and watch them freeze" Un-successful"
- We worked crazy long hours since no commute and the work just got more intense!
- Hubby worked, picked up all my slack and definitely the supportive team comes in play (Again!)
- But we ate amazing food: Mexican Bowl, Bhajia's, elaborate Indian Meal, Super bowl snacks and above all lots and lots of "Kadha aka Golden Bliss aka Herbal power juice"
- We saw DDLJ!!! And that my friends was the best part!
We oddly celebrated the onset of vortex and having the crazy cold go away with friends. We are like that(!). Simple pleasures or just need to be a little silly.
But the week was. Memorable. Again, i can only be thankful for staying indoors, being warm and above all being able to choose how I reach to such weeks.
The kids were also reminded of this. I often wonder how can we raise kids who are "thankful" and "not entitled" to these things. Open to all suggestions.
