Fire in the mountain,Run Run Run

S and V were already out and heading for the stairs. I rushed out of my 18th floor apartment, not before grabbing the keys  and an old sweater that was lying around  thank god for common sense.

It was the fire alarm,it had been  on for good 5 minutes. The first reaction ,was that of  dismissal, Could be a false one. Ever since V's birth,we are conscious of safety rules, so when the alarm refused to stop, we rushed out without giving it another thought.

An hour later, 18 floors below out in the open,  we all waited for the security to assess the situation. Tada...It turned out to be a false alarm, from what little I remember, there was this theory that one of rat had chewed on to the fire alarm wire, that had set the alarm off! Oh Come on! For once in my life, I followed the safety protocol to the T & It turns out to be false alarm!!

What happened when I reached down will definitely make it to my top five "Most Embarrassing Moment"  in your life!

In all this chaos,  I decided to step out in my sleep wear as did everyone else! Its just that I was in this oversized faded pair of shorts and  equally oversized rag old tee, how can I forget monstrous size footwear . It was my fav pregnancy shorts/tee  I wore them when I was 22kgs overweight,It had worn out from every possible angle . Oh, the chappals , they belonged to S, In all the commotion I couldn't find mine  so I grabbed his, how convenient,  but of course he's a size 11 and I merely a size 3. Getting the picture eh? 

All my mommy friends and kidoos had rushed down too, ,It didn't help their dress were not only coordinated but also fit them perfectly! And if that wasn't enough there was this lady she had this sexy yoga/night pants on, with a super sexier tee that just fit right, and the hair, Omg it seemed like she was just about to enter a party!! WTF. Seriously? You sleep in that? Or you just had the sixth sense to be ready just incase there is a fire!!

 

I felt all eyes on me,  Care to explain ? Awkward!! Oh, I just wanted to shrink and disappear into oblivion!!

I did have a good laugh afterwards though! After this episode, I have decided, come what may, I'll always check myself out in the mirror and  change into something decent before stepping out ;D, 5 seconds that's all it should take right ;) ?!

The fire will just have to wait, Ms. Chikodi isn't ready yet!!

How will I grow?

 The cutest thing happened a few days ago and it went like this  "But then , how will I grow ?"  Before I tell you all about it, let's rewind a bit,  It all started with Potty Training I know mommies, I have your attention now ! I started potty training Little when she was about 6 months old.  Now when you have the second one, most of you may agree with me,   you just want to replicate your successes you had with your first one.  You see  , Curious trained pretty quickly, I started with her when she about 2.3 years old.  By her 3rd birthday she was night time trained , like 0 diapers  except on long drives!    I got a wee bit ambitious with Little . As soon as she started sitting up, I decided to start her training. First step of course was buying the right potty seat, thankfully this time I knew exactly what I wanted, I had only two criteria should be soft on her butt and damn easy to clean. I scoured the internet , chec...

You are just done!

"Losing respect for someone, is always a weird thing ,you don't hate the person, you just don't feel the need to ever speak to them , again or even think about them in the same way.  You are just done" How apt is this? Please raise your hands or rather give me a  thumbs up👍 (courtesy zoom meetings!). How many of you have felt this way ? One too many times perhaps? These lines are not written by me, but it resonates with me, as to how I have been feeling off late. It  summarizes the hell out of one those peculiar situations you find yourself in.  Lets put things into perspective.  I have a story to tell, rather a long arduous one with all the drama , one which I would love for you to read about one day. Not today , not in this post.  Here is the gist though, I met someone, got tad too friendly  ( no one to blame here, that's me ) , got tad too excited ( things just panned out pretty well between us  or so it seemed at that time ), got too carried...

Sledding Day 2021

 We finally checked off "sledding" from our bucket list of winter-things-to-do-every-year! Constant reminders followed by accusations of-being-unfair or no fair  topped with  extra drama from a certain 8 year old for over a month now, finally forced us into making that trip to   Leavenworth .  The drive was breath taking,  It's like one of those stunning winter wonderland kind of drive that you always watch in movie   and what made it perfect was that we had a visit from Mr. Sun himself.  It was gorgeous day to be out. Fun have she did. Just as Yoda would say it. Its a different thing, that  the way back home wasn't as much fun, having being stuck in a traffic jam for over 3 hours! Was it all worth it ? You bet , 2 hours of pure unaltered  fun for the girls and dad alike!  This would be the first year since we moved to the States in early January of 2016   that we have hadn't had a proper snow fall well   definit...
