There is always a competition between Becky (my daughter) and Ceaser (my dog) about who is going to jump on me as soon as I enter home. I have to bear the this onslaught everyday and I love it. It feels great to be home with so much of unconditional love from my family. But family means hard work and sincerity.

Though I would love to survive on takeaways after a tough day's work, more so since I am always in the kitchen, I still cook at home. After all I have to care for the health of my growing daughter. I cook for Ceasar too - a broth of vegetables and meat. Like any average 5-year-old, Becky hates veggies but I have a way of getting her to eat some greens. She gets a smiley per serving of veggies and when 20 smileys accumulate, it is converted to cash or a gift of her choice on reaching100 smileys. It works!!! Try it on your young ones and see how it works! 

The day started on dreadful note, today. I had a bad fall on my treadmill and bruised both my knees and have also managed a painful cut on my lips. Right now I am confined to bed. I had thought I had seen the last of tetanus with my pre-teens. It is quite embarassing sporting the terrible looking swollen lips ( It looks worse than it actually is) and limping around the house. I am thankful that my mom is by my side - Heavens be blessed for creating the most beautiful creature in this world called MOTHER. It is kind of selfish that we remember our parents on in times of need... just like we pray to God only to get out of a sticky situation. Well we all know that the human race is SELFISH! Because I know, I day I get better, I will still roll my eyes at my mom's every suggestion!
