Diary of a mommy

 

To my dearest Jimba ,

A long long time ago , I used to jot down things that you did to make me smile. I am going to start doing that again.

You are now a tween. I know that kids are always babies to a lot of mommies. But I cannot express my thanks and gratitude to The God Almighty for making me your mommy. The way you said today that you will always be my baby , that you will always play with me , that you will always be my jimba .... it makes me want to cry. Knock on wood for making you so loving . 

Today you told me that I am a cuckoo head and you love me for that. You said that I am the only mother who must enjoy playing with her son so much. I do not think so. I think a lot of mommies enjoy that but I do not know why I love it so much . Is it coz I never played much when I was your age? The thing that gives me most happiness is to play outdoors with you. I sometimes cry when I think of you leaving for college but I think I will travel then . Or find something that interests me. 

You are now watching the Buccaneers vs Saints NFL match . The divisional playoffs. You want the Bucs to win. Nandoch and I want the Saints to win . You chose the Bucs only because we are on the Saints side. Then you can torment us while we hope for the Saints to win. 

Love ,

Amma

Tesla Journey from New Jersey to Key West (#2)

  The next morning we woke up very late to refresh ourselves from the long drive. The rest of the day was spent exploring Disney. We walked around the resort , then we hopped on the boat and went to Disney Hollywood. We had the tickets but got the cards and scheduled the park visits. We went around the skyliners. It was nice to have a day with no agenda in mind.  The next morning Praan and I were all set to go to Kennedy Space Center.  Nanch could not join us , he was not on vacation and was working from the hotel. We had booked a tour and the bus picked us up at Disney Swan Resort.  (https://www.grayline.com/tours/orlando/kennedy-space-center-central-florida-everglades-airboat-tour-5873_30_12130_1271/) The first stop was an airboat ride on the St. Johns river. It was nice , but contrary to my expectations the weather was cold.  Made a mental note to carry a jacket with me in Florida. We did see a lot of flamingo's , the American bald eagle, cows grazing in knee deep water with all

Now and Then .

  Growing up, I never thought I was different or odd. But now I ask myself many times if I am? Do everyone go through this ? I never had any dreams or ambitions as long as I can remember. I daydreamed a lot . I talked to myself and dreamed but those dreams were not about going places or being someone . It was small dreams , talking to people having fun etc.  I did not realize it back then but I never put an effort to study either. I slept very early every night , I read a lot of novels and do not remember studying or working hard. But I got good grades. It could have been the school I went to. We had good teachers and we were not encouraged to mug up which worked in my favor . For the Class 10 board exams, I was the top scorer even in a state level. That sounds good , doesn't it ? Except it had its flaws. Until today, I have never put an effort into anything and it never affected me until I realized that it did in a hard way. When I started work , I barely knew programming language
