This week will fly by and Term2 is going to be hectic. :faint:
I foresee a very busy Term 2 as there are several topics to complete before SA1...most schools should be trying to finish as many topics as possible.

hi Sun,

how are you feeling?
Much better. I felt so sick on Saturday morning that I wanted to drop out, but went along as DH did not want me to stay back. But strangely, by evening I was better and fine from the next day .

Thanks dear.

How is your DD doing?

Sun_2010:
I was planning to see the solar eclipse but DS refused to join , saying school is more important. I did not feel it was worth the trip, early in the morning. Past few days have been very stressful, and a tense day awaits me. :xedfingers: 🙏 🙏 🙏


So on a whim, I decided to go and check out the Science centre instead of wallowing in stress.

Celestial bodies have never ceased to fascinate me, the gods were generous today.
Just before the peak, a giant cloud came and for a minute we could view the eclipse without the solar filters. Bliss! The telescopes gave a good view.

I have some problem connecting to the phone to attach my photos, enjoy some professional shots , they are far better anyways.

I love sharing my childhood stories with DD and DS especially about my grand parents. What a feisty lady my grandma was, How the world was during her times. And how she loved us grandkids. Her simplicity, her beliefs, her phenomenal antics. And how we played pranks on her, one too many times. What a pillar she was in my life. So I keep her alive thru my stories to my kids. They love to hear her stories, they wished they could have met her. :love:


During our bed time sharings , DS often clamours for more about her. Some days I would imitate her. And thus, one night about 2 years ago , great-grandma was “born”. :scared: After lights out, I would turn into the spirit of great- grandmother as I pat, ask him about his day, share “my” stories, old folklore stories or mythological tales. I told of a world they could hardly imagine, of life that was so different. Of course there was a catch. I would only speak in my mother tongue, any English word or modern word I would not understand. DS played his part by struggling to explain concept of computer, phone etc and sometimes he would give up. :stupid: He would cringe at her affection, but he liked it. 😆

As days passed, this role play, which started out as a means of keeping him rooted to history and culture, took a far greater role.

It has helped us bond so much. And being a simple soul, great grandma smothers him with her affection and marvels at his achievements. And while DS cringes at this, he also revels in it. He likes her stories so much, I have run out of my ammunition, even though I have a vast collection. The meaning of stories that come out of her role, are more significant to me then before.

And it has helped me be a better person. It has given me a different perspective on life. Because I play a simple woman, who doesn’t understand the rat race of life, who only thinks the important things in life are good food, good character and hard work – it helps me reevaluate my stance in various areas. It helps me get over petty things and keeps me grounded in my values. As I tell her stories I realize the influence she has had on me, her determination to rise above herself, despite the hard blow fate dealt her.

DS has taken to confiding with great- grandma things that he doesn’t feel sharing with me as his mother. Like the time he lost a crucial match due to his blunder. As a mother I would have heard him, consoled him, asked him analyse his mistake etc. But as a great grandma, I cant. I am the old lady who doesn’t understand what the fuss is all about. I can only say don’t feel sad, I love you, you are the best and that is all that matters. I can offer unconditional love and be totally non-judgmental, because that is what grandmas do, no? And what can be more soothing than that when you are hurting real bad. And the things he shares with great-grandma remain with her – not to be spoken later, not to be pulled out in other arguments.

Indirectly, he gets the values of life that I want to impart to him. The world may be so different today than a hundred years ago, but the important things remain the same. Our dreams may be different but our needs are the same. We do the best we can, we care for our loved ones and world, we cry a little, laugh a little and we carry on.
What can I say, I am so indebted to my grandma. Love you, A 💋 - wherever you are.

I'm guilty too. Often saying nasty things I don't mean when I'm angry with kids.

I guess he is not that sensitive anymore. But I feel so guilty at times. :sad:

That time of the year ... when stress can build up.


I have this doodling that DS did when he was in P2 , and I had scolded him for something not academic but school related. I was stressed by other things and patience was wearing thin. I saw this on his desk after he went to bed. :sad:
I have it pinned near my desk, to constantly remind me that the impact my tone can have.

😢 he must have felt awful but you'd have felt worse.
