Bliss..

I had stayed home yesterday for the Dr. King Jr holiday(school and day care are closed so had to stay home for the kids). As I had always felt, a 2 day weekend always leaves me with a wish that it would be nice to have just 1 more day to relax before the work week starts. This past weekend I decided to treat it as a 2 day and completed all my chores and reserved the Monday to spend with the girls. I had a pleasant time with the kids. I had all the world's patience when I helped them with their homework which is a rarity, then we did a small experiment with matter states as their homework activity. I showed them how water froze in to ice and retained a shape of the container. It was a such a delight to watch them getting excited over it, checking out the freezer every few minutes while the water was turning in to ice (and at the end of the day I happened to notice that there were close to 5 cups of water sitting in the freezer). Then I warmed the ice over the stove and closed with a glass lid to show them how the vapor turned in to water again. They pulled up a stool next to the stove and watched it with such an excitement. I cooked lunch, that which they wanted to have not what I could easily cook. With the storm and rain going on outside we three bundled up in the bed cozily and did book reading after lunch. Divya as usual ended up pretending a teacher and read books until we all fell asleep and had a nice little afternoon nap. I got up had a steaming cup of chai while they were still sleeping. Ha! that was bliss..believe me,I was so very close to quit my job today...but yeah, no need to mention that I'm typing this out sitting at my work place...
