Stretching ourselves....

New days are going to begin for us....the days of economy, of full-time parenting and hopefully, staying in our own house. The house is not over yet, work seems to be crawling, but it's a nice feeling when we step inside and when I dream of how I will decorate it and how beautiful it will be. Of course, the decorations will not be immediate as we seem to have bitten more than we can chew. Suddenly it's a tight situation now with so many things demanding money at the same time. We have never been in this situation so far since we started earning and I like it in some ways. I've always liked the feeling of saving money. In another 6 months we should be a little better, though.

Got an award on Friday and I'm feeling more guilty than happy about it. Sitting there and listening to all the praises they were showering on the awarded, I couldn't figure out that it was me. We had a tough time during the last release and there were better people there. Instead they give me for some silly thing, I don't know how to face a couple of people tomorrow. I worked hard and have been happy at times with myself but I don't think I needed it this time.

Have found a play-school for Rishi and I only hope he does not cry for many days. The lady in charge said it was common and kids get to like the atmosphere sooner than we think. Hope so! Wish we could skip this process of formal schooling at least for some years, like they used to do in old days. P is a very good teacher and I too have my own ideas. We can never dare to do such a thing, of course!

Called up S on her birthday and gave her a pretty big surprise. I should have been in better touch with her.
