Sunday night blues

By -
Had a long weekend this time. So did Annika. For three days in a row I woke up and played with her all day. I did not say "tata" and walk out of the door at 9. It was party time. Both her parents at home for so long. and both sets of grandparents, and cousin over too!
Just in these three days she seems so much happier, is more responsive, more playful than she normally is. Sigh working mom guilt. Everyone goes through it. My mom did, my mother in law did. All of us turned out fine. But I still fear... what if i am hampering her development? is there something missing in her nourishment? I will never know I guess.
She has no clue it is Sunday night and mom and dad go to work tomorrow. I guess thats why she is sitting here and cackling away and I am sulking in my head.
 
guilty if you work, guilty if you don't.

You're an awesome mom my dear

That you will adapt and be strong in every situation? That you will be intelligent and visionary one moment, compassionate and kind the next? That you will be powerful, and immense, all in one? I wish you will be the magnetism, the force, the vastness.. I wish the world for you. I will wait and see. Meanwhile I hope, that one day 16 years from now, I will not say to you "I remember when you were born, my dear... you were so little and prettier by the day.. and look at you now, all grown up and changing the world.." Coz there's nothing more irritating than hearing a grownup say that to you. So your weirdly-named aunt will bite her tongue. But you can be sure she's th...

Gambling with Vaccines... Do you have it in you?

By -
What is the correct spelling of pneumococcal infection? Whatever the spelling, it is big trouble if one gets it. So there's a vaccine for it. Which should be roughly 3000 bucks. So, 3000 bucks is nothing for a lifetime of not having to worry about even spelling pneumococcal, is there? But what's the probability of someone coming down with this infection? Of the billions of children who have been born ever, even if this has infected roughly 1 million kids worldwide (worst case) we're talking one in ten-thousand. Now would a gambler go "all-in" if he feels he has only a "one-in-ten-thousand" chance of winning the pot?
