Lots of things..and caught in between them..

If I look back at March, it would possibly become the most hectic month till date..
We've had just too many things going on...too many places we went to...
Heard about too many deaths...
First it was father of the aunty who stays with us at home..
and I had to send her off for 15 days to her home town. We had my MIL come in and take care of Dhriti...but I did have to do a lot of stuff...stuff that I am not good at...like cooking :)
Then suddenly my peddanannagaru passed away. A pity that I couldn't visit him often though they stayed in Hyd too..I felt sooo guilty and bad at not having met him for quite sometime..And he always liked me...wished me the best...was a humble person who loved his family dearly..
My father was broke...seeing his elder brother, who was surely better in health dept, pass away in front of him..
And then...as if we switched channels...we were off to Vja to attend my cousin's wedding...
Calling it "attend" would be an understatement...we had to "organise" the wedding....
But now, the "we" in the above statement would be an overkill...I did do some running around etc etc...:)

And in the midst of all this, Shiva celebrated his birthday...I really couldn't think of anything great to do for him on his birthday...but I DID COOK :))

Dhriti to the core...

She's finished her play school for the academic year!! Quite an achievement considering the initial days where I had to sit with her all through the 3 hours of her school.
Towards the end of it, however, she was going all by herself, enjoying and having fun at school. I don't really know if she grasps it yet, but yeah, I for one, will surely miss EuroKids.

Hopefully, her stay at Meridian will be much much much better...We got her the books and gave the measurements for her school uniform today!!
Before we knew it, she is already a big girl getting ready for school...!

But, to be frank, the books did give me a scare...I mean captial letters, small letters, cursive writing(!!!!!), numbers 1-50 all in PPI????!!!!
I wonder how much the kids will learn once they pass out in Std X?!!


Have to add though, managing her through the summer is already becoming a nightmare :((
She has become extremely moody, lazy, hot-tempered and irritating to the core.
Hope this phase also passes off soooon.

And god only knows, how I will be able to get her to school by 8AM everyday...:(
