One Day Housewife

I didn't go to work today. I had no choice but to stay at home as Thurgashini is not well. Her fever has been fluctuating since last night. I get very worried if the kids are down with fever. If the temperature goes higher, one can end up in seizure and epilepsy. I have managed to keep her temperature under control by sponging her often. Tharini had to go to school alone. I really envy the housewives. They get to do everything from A to Z for their children.Today I had the chance to be a housewife. Since I am in the morning session I don't get to prepare them to go to school. My husband will do everything for them. So today I had the chance to get Tharini ready to school, make breakfast for her and prepare lunch for the three of them before 12 noon as my hubby will have to go to school. A very gratifying and satisfying job. If at all I have the option, I would rather be a housewife.....taking care of the kids, cook for them and taking care of the family's need. I did notice something today....Tharini was extremely happy. The children will aways grumble as I will pick them up from school a bit late. Their school finishes at 12 noon. By the time I go and fetch them, it will be 2 or 2.30 and worst still if I were to have meetings. I will have to fetch them at 3.30pm. On Wednesdays, I will be having co-curriculum activities and by the time I fetch them, it will be 4.30pm. Today she had the privilege of coming back early.....ie at 12.30pm. She came back home happily. Now, do I really have a choice of being a housewife? The answer is definitely NO. Afterall, I am married to Guna Sir and not to Dr Guna.
