With the school holidays coming to a close with this week, the word "Monday" can only bring next week and the first day of school to mind. Now I've always been a "hate to wake up in the morning" type of person. I remember my mom used to have a tough time with me with the habitual "2 more minutes" stretching to half an hour even!
The weird thing is, there has been no karma involved, at least where D is concerned. She's a dream to wake up in the mornings, needing a max 5-10 minutes to shake herself awake. It's still me who's the drowsy one, and the one to hit the Snooze button one too many times ;). So I'm still the one who moans and groans about Monday and about waking up early in the mornings. Oh I've enjoyed the holidays and the snoozes soo much!!
I also have a suspicious feeling that if S goes to the same school, that particular karma is definitely coming back to bite me, and I'll have quite a time of it. It's tough enough to get him ready for a 9 O'clock start!
Hmm.. not sure if I've addressed "Monday" or "Sleep" here but here it is ;).

Lolz... not sure about the Karma.. but be sure if one child's a dream the other WILL give you hell. And I speak from experience.
ReplyDeletehaha I very much suspect so :).
DeleteI tell you Aparna! I am so waiting for Mondays as of now, partly because of the reason I mention in my post for today and partly because the kid shall also go for a few hours and I will get a big chunk of me time!
ReplyDeleteSleep or no sleep here I come Mondays. The afternoon siesta will have to cover up for the early morning waking up :)
Simz, I don't want to scare you but I could write a whole another post about the lost afternoon siestas ;).. of course in my case it's because of some class or the other in the early evenings, so you might have a way to go for that phase yet :).
DeleteLOL.. yes, I agree about the karma..too! Life balances things out :-)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't it Uma :)
DeleteBtw both of mine are dreams to get ready in the mornings. Wishing you have the same luck :)
ReplyDeleteFingers and Toes crossed Aparna, though I have a sinking feeling this may not be the case. The only thing I am happy about it, at least one head of hair doesn't need much combing :).
DeleteAh yes that is a big advantage...though now Ds hairstyle is totally non-fussy too right?
