Lazy Crazy Sunday
Really sorry--I have had to remove this post as it will soon appear in a book. Making it available online would have been very unfair to my publisher who has placed so much trust in me. I hope you enjoy the other posts as much as you enjoyed this one. A heartfelt thanks for your support and understanding.Thanks for continuing to read what I write.
My Sunday started two hours ago when I woke up and am still in bed browsing around. Nothing as great as yours to blog about!!
ReplyDeletefirst one to comment!!!..:)
ReplyDeletejust day dreaming and sleeping...now feeling guilty for wasting time!!!:(
ReplyDeleteWell, it wasn't such a bad sunday though, was it?
ReplyDeletehahaha I love your spirit, Preeti :) And your kids do too, of course!
I loved those days when my kids were little. We had a tent, but they always liked a blanket between two or three kitchen chairs even more.
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to begin warming up around here... our spring is springing and flowers are blooming, but real heat is not to be found yet.
You said it was good for their GK -- what does that stand for?
Have a good week!
Well, I just finished a night shift (Sun night) and now it's Monday morning here in Oz - I've got some housework to do today (a single guy's chores are just never done, lol) and then I've got to find some inspiration for tomorrow's NaPoWriMo poem.
ReplyDelete*sigh*
swimming!!!!! :D...
ReplyDeleteliked your way of dancing sunday through...
and the song does make you want to scream along...i live on the 12th floor....;)
Hmmmm....mine was spent with my parents & I just loved it. Where is my share of the biryani and Mango Milk Shake? :-)
ReplyDeleteMy Sunday is over and I've been pretty busy to look at ur blog at 10 45 at night :(
ReplyDeleteAlphonso - my mouths just watering
Piano Man - Finally one more person who likes Billy Joel and his songs.
Kids studying - They r good kids. They balance their life good
K (& not the watchman) - He should have the Jack Daniels to beat the cold :D
The song was too. But the flash creation was wonderful. Wonderful enough to find its way on my blog. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks
Nothing much on a Sunday. I did have some fun listening to some video that my kids showed me on Saturday :) Funny, I just can't get the music out of my head now :( Check this out.
ReplyDeleteAhh lovely day indeed. We had bunch of folks at home for dinner on saturday. Sunday was aerobics, long lazy afternoon and a good stroll at the park. Praying for some sunshine today lol:)

ReplyDeleteThat's quite a song to learn! Well done. I can just imagine you head banging to it!
ReplyDeleteYour kids are so so so very cute!!!
ReplyDeleteAnd you had a great sunday.
I went shopping, breaking the no-more-senseless-shopping promise to myself and filled up the car back seat totally with stuff I'll never wear or use. It was Sarojini Nagar shopping after all. :P
My parents have come over from Bangalore to stay with us for 2 months. So every weekend is booked by our relatives here. Last weekend(friday here, not sunday) we went to Ajman & Umm al Qwain & spent the day with our relations. Kids enjoyed it thoroughly.
ReplyDeleteSome evenings after i come back from work when i find them cranky, I put on LOUD music & we dance our hearts out. THUD THUD THUD x 1/2an hr. After that i'm beat.
And yes, when i want them out of my hair for sometime, I too pitch a tent(a BEEEG bedsheet over the backs of 3 chairs stratgically placed)for them. They love it. They spend 30 mins transferring all their toys into the tent, then another 30 mins arranging it, So all in all i get some 90 mins to myself:-). Let me stop before I write my full life story here:-P
hehehe..so it was a fun sunday....ohh boy infact i did imagine u and the kids doing that dance and the security guards expression LOL....ohh i sure would love to have a lazy sunday..Since i have off on fridays only its a busy weekday here on sunday...

Used to be (and maybe still is) one of my favorite songs. In fact, my blog alias comes from the lyrics of this song. :)
ReplyDeleteAhaaaa loved it - loved the song, love billy joel and now this was cool too - thanks for sharing.......
ReplyDeletewell did not visit you on sunday - but it was preeety mundane i guess
Last sunday was spend in deep thought and strategy. I was wondering where exactly I should let my husband have it, when he walks thru the door. He spend all of saturday and sunday organising and playing cricket. Neha was bored and it was too hot to venture out.
ReplyDeleteBut it looks like u guys were on a roll and also seemed to have provided some free entertainment to the security guard. :D
super mom !!!
ReplyDeletei bet you had a good time,being a kid with them...
//Not steered actually, propelled, rocketed or pushed would be more like it//ha ha....the same story everywhere!!!!
i love 'we din start the fire'.
Nothing much :).
ReplyDeleteThis post gets a perfect 10. I am holding up a placard :)
well, as i mentioned earlier, my suindays been full of delivering new born babies and gossip[ing in between.. beggars cant be choosers. i did infact start singing to the "billy joel" video u linked.. somehow i forgot for a few secs i was in a CYBERCAFE !!! It'll b awhile before i walk in here again
ReplyDeletewow, that what i call an action-packed sunday :P
ReplyDeleteand nothing can beat singing aloud and dancing to an old favorite!
sunday for me was very good... spent time at in-laws' place with them, my folks, my brother and his family and all of us together.... these kind of occasional get-togethers also are fun!
what would I give for some Indian mangoes :)
ReplyDeleteI spent most of my Sunday trying to bake this sourdough bread - but I guess my starter wasn't right or something. It turned into 'lead bread'.
Other than that we watched a movie called 'Before Sunrise' - cute movie.
great post :)
Pink Dogwood: I LOVED that maovie too.:-)"lead bread" rhymed :-)
ReplyDeleteGuru: Nice that your in-laws and your bro, all stay in the same city!
