Time management - cooking, cleaning, and exercise

Viji mam our prayers are always there for you and your DH, he will recover soon. I can understand the situation mam. When my dad had a by pass and resizing of heart surgery, we were also in the same situation. Now he is fine and going to office. Everything will be fine viji mam. God always does miracles and doesn't let anybody suffer. take care mam

My routine for the last week

We did Diwali shopping for me and DDs. For DH, 1st week of Nov.

Sorted all DDs toys and separated in two carton boxes and kept in the loft. :thumbsup Now their story books, puzzles, building sets only are accessible. Planning to make them write little. They love coloring with crayons, color pencils, any craft activity for their level. Now i feel my house is little bit clean. (My cutie-pies will come and take my vessels for playing, :bonk if their toys are not accessible)

Cleaned my grocery and vessel shelf, and took stock of groceries which are at home and noted what to buy for next month. :thumbsup

Re-arranged the wardrobe, pressed kids uniform and made DH's uniform also ready yesterday itself, for a hassle free monday morning.

have a happy week ahead friends

Manju mam, take care, a busy week ahead for you and do post the pictures of the designer blouses you stitch. hope you had nice dharshan at thiruvannamalai. I have never been there, every time we come to chennai we make it a point to visit tirupathi and our kuladheivam near pollachi. Let me when we can visit thiruvannamalai.

Kamala mam, that was a good information about sandy winds. Only when we experience the power cuts we realise how we have been depending upon electricity, we feel life has become stand still.

Prana, hugs to your DD, nice craft she has made.

Latha mam, great to know that your parlour will be opened in February.

While she taken bath, I prepared coffee decoction, soaked rice & dhal, boiled milk and had coffee. cut ladies finger for curry, put bedspreads (Monday routine) in washing machine, plaited her hair, cooked drumstick sambar & LF curry. Made Dosa as breakfast for both of them. packed lunch for DH. By 8, DD left for school. Another 10mins, DH too.

Waited for 15mins, then cleaned home and master bedroom toilet and took bath, did nithya pooja, then had my meals by 10 am. Prepared rasam as DD will have her meals after coming from school. Planning to do chappathi & Alu-raddish sabji (CV’s) for dinner.

Hi to all...

 

Hi Prana,

Saw the link. It is very nice. It looks very good. It is so sweet of her for taking interest in doing the craft.

Dear Viji Aunty,

Uncle will soon get well. Your family will always be in my prayers. I saw your post while going to temple.

Dear Kamala,

Hope you all didn't suffer much. Did you have power cut? But I know the storm was really strong.

Dear Shanvy,

Take care of your health.

Dear Shara,

Nice to read your updates. I wonder your managing skills of your twins. I am fascinated by twins.

Dear Magee,

You are becoming an expert in cooking.

Dear Akila,

More than kids we only get tensed of their exams. They take it lightly and do well also. We only were brought up like that or our curriculum was different.

Always no need to clean up. It is only maintenance. If that is done, the house looks clean. Home is a home

Hi all others,

Morning I typed a big update, but lost while posting. There was some trouble in the net connection.

I had a wonderful weekend, visiting temples. After long time we drove long distance. This was the first time I went to Thiruvannamalai. Such a beautiful temple. It is sooo big. I like these very old temples. The vibration is too good.

For my updates.

The Golu stand was kept on the loft on Friday.

Last 15 days our power cut time is 10-12noon. So I have schedule according to that. Loading washing machine, grinding batter etc, I finish off before 10. I utilize this power cut time to put back things after everybody leaves in ground floor as well as first floor, folding clothes etc. In the excess time, do some hand-stitching, prepare the cloth to be stitched etc. Yet to stitch mine. Between 12 to 1 Lunch and a bit of rest. Then will continue my stitching till 3.30. Have tea or coffee, prepare evening snacks for kids. Then it is all regular routines.

Due to rain, it is holiday for kids. I think tomorrow also Govt. declared holiday.

Regards
Manjukps
