The real test of patience

The next twenty five days are going to be a virtual test of my patience. Yes, my kids’ school has closed and the next academic year is about to begin by April 5th and guess what – my kids will move on to Grade II from next month. How time flies! I still remember the day when they were born. I have heard that it is quite normal for any child to cry as soon as they are born. But my kids made a brief hum. I asked the nurse if it is clinically termed as ‘cry’ and she smiled at me and answered in the affirmative. For many days after birth, I hardly heard them cry that I began to panic. But now I realize that they were God given days of calm before a storm and now I am in the midst of the deafening sound of the storm.

Naturally restless am I. I just cannot sit at a place watching TV or doing nothing. How will I allow my kids to remain at home doing nothing? So I am seriously planning out a schedule for their holidays with loads of interesting activities for Mommy and kidos. I have planned for some brain activities, colouring stuff, creative paper-craft, reading activities, and many such things. They are pretty much excited about their holidays. I will hardly have any time to sit and relax! But it is part of the game. All said and done, it is indeed a wonderful experience to be a Mother. I have to prepare a ‘To do’ list to equip myself before we start our holiday programme.
I should be prepared with lots of goodies for them to munch
I got to buy glitter glue
I need to buy some small toys as a reward for both of them at the end of every week.

I have to bear many things in mind before drafting the schedule of activities for the holiday. –
I should allot too many snack breaks in their holiday schedule
I should not ruin their holiday fun by getting annoyed over their silly pranks
I should imbibe patience in my mind
I should imbibe patience in my mind
I should imbibe patience in my mind.

Let me play and enjoy with them for the next twenty five days.
