Yaya had an assignment to write about slavery and she used the description Marauding henchmen for slave traders. Her teacher was very puzzled as to how she knew such a description and she explained, “my mom is a  member of the Genghis Khan’s marauding henchmen”

It all started when the kids were little. We used to make a tent by placing the duvet, bed sheets etc over the dining table and hide inside our secret cave. We used to explore various cities, read using torch light etc.

As all mother’s know, it is very difficult to get kids to eat when they are small, so I invented Marauding henchmen. ( my kids loved big words). The idea was that, I was a raider from Genghis Khan’s army and I have been fighting the wars for a long time. We ran out of food and I was hungry and looking for food. I served snacks/lunch/homemade yougure with fruits etc for my children and they hid inside the tent, quickly trying to eat their food before I could get to them. I used to cover my face and with a duppatta, change my voice to a really gruff one and march around the tent screaming, “I can smell food, I can hear my tummy rumbling, the food, the food, I need the food”

I could hear Yaya pleading with her siblings to eat quick before the henchman gets their food. And often I would keep my fingers and toes crossed that they would finish all the meat, because this particular henchman is a vegetarian :). The duvet was full of sauces and crumbs, but their tummy was full and we used to have so much fun.

Choosing to stay home to raise my babies wasn’t a smart thing to do when it came to my career. But there is nothing in this world that could come anywhere close to the joys I have had raising my children. I will never get those times again..and I don’t regret a bit that I am not treating a patient right now.

Oh, one more thing, yesterday when I try to log in to my domain ( through wordpress) like usual, I couldn’t log in, there were random ads and a note saying this domain expired in July and link to follow to renew the domain. The site address instead of showing www.daofto.com was showing as ww2, some randomwords, followed by folio.

I knew the domain was renewed in Feb, so there was no way it expired. So I assume that somehow a hacker has got access to my site. Does anyone know what is going on? and What I should do? Would you please leave a comment if you are having issues accessing my blog.

I will be away the until next Monday. Wishing you all a great weekend and life filled with tons of happiness.
