Mission accomplished

5.45 am. It is already 15 mts past from when the alarm went off. I watch the clock next to my bed and a voice in my head starts off..urging me to get up, its getting late but my body does not want to cooperate, I close my eyes to catch few more mts of sleep ...again I open my eyes to see 5 mts gone by just like that, 5.50 am, the voice in my head explodes, so I drag myself out of the bed. Once in the shower I remember I had to sign off the kid's home work and I was running through other lists of things that needs to be done today, personal errands and work and then I heard a knock on the bathroom door and heard Divya call me..It must be only 6 am now, its too early for her ...may be she wanted to use the toilet, I think,..may be she is desperate.."go..run to the other bathroom" I scream from inside the shower.."No I want to tell you something"..now I hear her shouting with her mouth stuck to the door hinge..I was confused now, I stop the shower and crack open the door a bit and peek out to see two little heads standing there rubbing there eyes..Whats the matter? why are you both up so early I ask.."Happy B'day ma.." "Happy b'day to you.." saying this they ran back to their beds...sweet...but of course they did not remember it on their own, they are not aware of the date of the month yet. After 9 years of nagging and whining I'm happy to say that Mani remembered it for the first time before me letting him know...
