Two Days unto Christmas and I, Turning into a 'Super Mom'!

The Man of the House wakes up in the morning to find a post it note stuck on his forehead which read as, "you owe me a big Christmas gift this time for my day long toil and burning the midnight oil to complete the lil' one's school activity. Yours truly, Love of your life." 

Clueless as he was, he asked me inquisitively what happened last night? And here is how I had to convince him to play the good Santa card in terms of gifting!

8:00 am: I, trying to put off the wake up alarm and still with a sleepyhead, trying to make the 'to do list' for the day. The task for the day includes Christmas decoration, never ending professional commitments, parlour appointments, making Christmas sweets and also helping the lil' one with online videos from the school. "Oh God, it's gonna be a long day", I grumble - as the baby still doesn't want me to step out of the cosy winter comforter.

9:30 am: I start decorating the tree with Christmas ornaments without much help from the lil' one though she enjoyed watching me do it and listening to the Christmas carols in the background. Detangling more than 25 meters of LED lighting from the boxes was such a time waster in the entire process! 

Finally, It's up and full of Christmas Ornaments

11:30 am: I'm finally done with decorating two trees (one on our top floor and one on the ground floor). And also done with uploading a 10 sec video of my Christmas tree on all the social media handles because as they say, "social life matters more these days than personal life." 😉

12:00 noon: My scheduled lecture starts, followed by unending professional commitments. It's almost 1:55 pm and I shut my laptop for a quick lunch break. 

2:00 pm: I'm about to reach out to my plate and the phone starts beeping continuously with watsapp messages. I, murmuring to myself, if I could only sue the messaging app for intervening 24/7 in my life - I see the messages. Oh...our online exams had just started at 2:00 pm and resolving the queries of pupils was a priority than my lunch.

3:00 pm: Finally, the portal says that all have successfully submitted the exams and my mind says that you can relish your lunch now. Yes, at 3:00 pm.

3:30 pm: Time for some Christmas sweets. Although very amateurish,  I express my sincere gratitude towards YouTube! The only search engine that excites me about trying my hands on a variety of dishes. I try making a few sweets and run to catch on my parlour appointment at 5:00 pm. Although we are going to attend a virtual mass for Christmas...still, no compromise on beauty regime!😉

6:00 pm: Still at the parlour when my lil' one's school sends a message about a virtual Christmas Party that is scheduled the next day at 9:00 am. And the message further says that they also except the children to  display their Christmas craft activity items. This means I'm on a roll, as we have not done anything pertaining to this. I call the man of the house in hope of help but in vain, as he too was busy with virtual meetings. After the parlour, I head straight to the stationary shop to get the material. As usual, racing against time! But it was essential as I didn't want my child to be left out in tomorrow's virtual session.  That's Mommy life. 😉

7:00 pm: I'm back home and extremely hungry and I open the refrigerator to grab something to eat. 

8:00 pm: Back to Christmas sweet making because it's a seasonal affair and the excitement level is at it's peak!

10:30 pm: I sit with my lil' one to make the Christmas craft activity as shown by the teacher in the video. And at 12:15 am - Viola! We are finally done.

12:30 am: I stick a post it note on the forehead of the man of the house who was fast asleep and snoring mentioning that you owe me a big gift this Christmas for my commitment towards the lil' one's school activity. And finally, I and baby call it a day!

All I could manage to do: A Snowman (that looked like an owl), a Christmas Tree & a Santa Card

"Indeed a long day", says the man of the house as he says, I'm proud of you my Superwoman!

Dedicated to all the mothers like me!

Here's wishing all a Merry Christmas! 😊
