The kids have an extended weekend thanks to a couple of holidays - SriKrishna Jayanti today and Independence Day on 15th - and the swine flu alert (so tomorrow is a holiday for kindergarteners). Ash's teacher sent through Mira all his classwork, homework and worksheets to be done at home. Which means I have to nag him during the hours I am at home to finish them all.
The nanny is a little unwell since yesterday and had to be taken to the doctor - a dizziness probably caused by a blood sugar variation. The kids, finding her unwell in the evening, went quiet and behaved themselves (no fights) until we arrived.
So apart from the cooking and washing, I suddenly found myself having to take care of the nanny and the kids, who had to be bathed and fed and made to do their class chores (Mira doesnt have any, so she coloured people green and red and blue in her new colouring book. She left one leaf on a mango tree without colour because she said it made her hand ache, and proceeded to the next page. But at least she can colour within picture borders now).

Hi
Lovely pic of ure kids..soo cute!!
My son has an extended weekend also. i think panic is spreading faster than fear!!! i guess we'll just have to hang in there till this while fiasco is over!!!
ps: ..would be honoured if you could check out my space.
Hmm... people are getting too panicky. A surge in demand for sanitizers, dettol handwash, surgical masks etc. The suspicious-looking reddish solution - similar to the red watery syrup dispensed from govt hospitals in my part of the country years ago - that passes of as liquid soap in our washrooms have given way to Dettol liquid soap :)
Cant say i am immune to the panic. Heeding the WHO guideline to reduce time spent in crowded places, I have decided to avoid public transport and take autos/lift instead. Minimising shopping sprees too.
Panic indeed! Hope everything calms down soon and we are free from this epidemic...
Take care and enjoy the weekend...
Thanks ..u truly made my day!!!
