Dear Kid#1, Kid#2 and DIL and of course our three dogs, Jeannie Baron and Piper
Let me assure you that I love you all, even if I show it in the most eccentric ways. Now don’t you roll your eyes at me, it really tempts me to take you to the eye specialist.
Yeah of course I write crazy blog posts like this one and the one before this. That is just the kind of thing I love to do, I am the Mom. Deal with it.
Kid#1, so what if I ate the smooth peanut butter and the jam. You left it on the kitchen shelf after your midnight snack and I did not have the time to take out the jar of crunchy peanut butter. Pssst! I agree, it tastes better and so does the jam. I was trying to eat healthy but preserves suck. Don’t scream, I’ll get more smooth peanut butter. Stop behaving like a baby! You are way too old to do that.
Kid#2, ya, I know you’ve grown up and do pull your share of work in the house. But do you have to leave your shoes and dirty tee shirts on my bedroom floor? I nearly fell in the night on my way to the bath room. And if you are looking for that particular pair of shoes, I’ll tell you if you apologize nicely. Otherwise …. 
DIL, if you keep those late hours, when you are old and need company I shall just run away on the whole world cruise with a hot old man. Dont laugh and tell me I am way too old. We live in the good modern world and the times of Viagra. You’ll be lonely for feminine company then.
And you three doggies …. yes you Jeannie, Baron and Piper, try and keep it down will you?
And if all of you are going to form a union against me, remember one thing …. we mothers are all powerful. We even have a song! Listen to it and enjoy 😈
Weaving a Web 
Hahaha! Of course we mothers are all powerful! 😉

So true Ritu….Moms are powerful, especially the blogging Moms… 😉 😉
LOL @ running away with a hot old man !!!! 🙂 😉
Oh my…do u love Peanut butter so much ???? 😛 😛
Peanut butter jam sandwich is heaven, sheer indulgence. I go for crunchy because its supposed to be more healthy. But Kid#1’s smooth is so much easier on the palate, sigh!
I like the idea of a world wide cruise with an arm candy 😉

Great notes Ritu, I agree completely with you on Moms being all powerful-just that my kids refuse to swallow the logic. So all I do is blog…
I know, I am on the Halla Bol campaign. My kids laugh at the logic.

😀 There is nothing like having a good breakfast is there? It is the most important meal of the day, made better with the knowledge that your eldest is going to scream when he sees an empty jar of smooth peanut butter 😈

hahaha that’s something i would do!! :D:D:D works great every time though. more power to you, mom! :)))
Yeah Roop, all Moms of the world sound the same, hai na? That is what I thought when I heard the song
Ritu… great post.. First time on your blog.. loved it. Wish I’d found it earlier. Love the ‘phoenix’ in yr name.. reminds of Harry Potter. Fascinating bird.
BTW if your old man (I mean the one u’ll take on the cruise) has an equally exciting friend remember me :-).
Tulika, I identify with the Phoenix completely. And yes, we can double date, if my hot old man has an equally hot friend. Should be fun
