After math of my first blog

Hi guys this is my second blog, I didn't know what to write about, but then I remembered about the " about me " column in which I have mentioned that, I will discuss about my daily happenings so to give justice for that, I thought of sharing with you guys what happened the night after I posted my  first blog.
         
         Here it started like this, I posted my blog and then I decide to send the link to two people, just for two simple reasons, one is I needed a extremely positive comment, I know there is only one who could do that, my childhood friend Mani.K, one who hits the like button even before reading my status update...so nice of him right. Status update in fb..........
 
Me :  guys I amputated my little finger with pliers, while gardening.
Mani.K : great work .J. Keep going

The other person is my sister, who hardly agrees on things which I say or do....
Me :  hey doesn't that girl look pretty!
Sister :  naa she must me wearing make up akka or it must be the sunlight which makes her glow
Me :  hey no di, I could still see her pimple marks, so she can't be wearing one
Sister : no Akka her make up is melting off coz of the sunlight, that's why her marks are visible
Me : but she still looks pretty di
Sister : hmm it must be coz of her left over make up ka

But I couldnt wait for them to reply, it's was midnight in India so 5 more hrs was left for the sun to rise up, so I looked into the chat column, to check who was online, it was Madhumitha who used to be my Neighbhour in New Jersey, I sent my link to her, she replied me asking what is it.... Before I could reply her, I heard the door bell, it was my husband, I was so excited so I greeted him with a big hug and a kiss, I said I posted my first blog, oh really that's great, but am very tired and hungry, so why don't we talk about while having coffee, I'll go change up and come he said. But I couldn't hold on to my excitement, so I ran upstairs to talk about it again.
Why are you still in your night pants, didn't I tell you this morning that we have to get Mrithula (my daughter) a hair cut, go get ready he said. Ya but you didn't stress it, so I thought you have planned it for the weekend I said. What do you mean I didn't stress it, I don't know why you are expecting me to tell things twice, now go get ready.

There the argument started to heat up. Am not coming, you take her alone, coz I have to make dinner.
Are you kidding, how will I explain to the salon person about a girl's hair cut. I don't know what's up with your strange behavior these days he said.

We had our coffee and we were staring at the TV, he broke the silence and asked me to show the blog.
Nope why did you take so long to talk about it, so am not gonna show it you I said. Enna ma prechana unaku... Ok show it to me whenever you decide to do it, now am gonna do the dishes coz I have got a football match to watch at 7 30pm and I can't help with you with the dinner, Epave solliten apram kathadha. I was back to the TV again and talking within my mind, May be I should have shown the blog when he asked for it, overa panitommo...... Hmmm never mind, but why is he so upset, this is not the first time am behaving like a jerk, he is used to it, so must be something wrong at his work place.
Hey dallu how was your day, is everything ok at your work I asked. well the day was good so far until you fussed about your blog. then i didnt talk much since he was mad at me. After couple of hours we all sat to have dinner, my little one asked me amma why did you put some seeds in the chutney, her father replied her dei adhu siragamn da now eat fast, "Sirakonda" daddy amma put lots of "Sirakondas" in the chutney, dei papa adhu "Sirakonda" Ella siragam that's it, it is called cumin in English he said, Before we could finish our dinner my sister called me, we were talking about the blog, she told she liked the name of it, bla bla bla and the conversation lasted for about 20 mins and it was almost time for bed.

I tried to get some sleep, but I couldn't, the amygdala in my brain was going crazy, too many channels opened up in my mind and my left and right brain was having a big debate, my left brain said what people will think of your blog, will they think what's up with this crazy woman first she came up with idea of Crafting,then painting and now she has decided to write, what is she thinking of herself, and who bothers, if she writes about things which she cares most. My right brain didn't give up it said I don't want other people to decide who I am, I want to decide that myself. My left brain went again asking what if somebody posts some negative comments. Right brain : I know how to deal with coz I have read some books about it. Left brain : what if nobody cares to read your crazy and stupid stuff. Right brain : oh come on now forget it just let me sleep. After struggling for 45 mins I shut down all the channels and in the mean time, I changed three different positions to sleep, neither of it worked so I decided to count to backwards from 100 to 1, but then I heard the sound of laptop's keyboard, it was my husband. I was wondering what is he browsing now, is he checking the history and trying to find my blog, ya could be, he might have thought of surprising me in the morning saying that, I found your blog and read it. After few minutes he went to the bathroom, so I just thought may be I should jump out of the bed and take a peek into the laptop. But then I didn't want to spoil the surprise so I went back to counting again and slept after a while.

My alarm went off at 6am and it was my turn to make coffee, but he insisted he would do that, I said
ok, wondering why is he trying to be nice to me. He came back with the coffee and said I forgot to
pay our little one's school fee can you do that today, I said ok thinking that he would surprise me about my blog, but he went to the bathroom after finishing his coffee. Now I wanted to know what was he browsing last night, my neurons started firing up with anger when I came to find out that he was looking into the NFL website. Meantime my daughter woke up, had her milk and was ready to feed her fish "lemo". Amma amma lemo is not moving, he is not eating the food she said. I went to look up, the fish was dead, I asked my husband to clean it up and took her to bathe, she came back and looked at the bowl and asked amma where did lemo go, I said honey, daddy took it back to the store coz he is sick, she said but daddy is in the shower how did he go, oh honey no I forgot, actually I dropped lemo at the store I said. But Amma you never drove alone without daddy right, Then how did you go. I was just thinking to myself god when did she become so smart even last night I heard her saying that her daddy is the handsome man in the whole wide world. I said no honey I didn't drive, I went by walk ok. She looked satisfied with the answer. My husband came out of the shower and saw my long face, and said don't feel bad about the Fish, you know that he was suffering from chronic illness right. I was like seriously how a fish could suffer from chronic illness.
He said yes do you remember since the day one, he was not doing ok, he wasn't active and didn't eat well, that's the reason we brought him to the master bedroom since you didn't want to see him more often. I was thinking something must be terribly wrong because he never took the effort of using all these sugary words to console me.

I said him to stop, am not worried about the fish, it's coz you still haven't asked about my blog, and
all you care about is the stupid football, then he got it and said oh oh am really sorry, now will you please show me the blog, this time I didn't fuss much coz I knew that if I do it again it will take him forever to read the blog, he then read it and said its good, but I asked him to comment on it, he said shall I comment like u have so much potential in publishing a book, I said it sounds very fake and people would laugh reading it, he replied me saying that ya you are right that sounds very phony, I said what do you mean, now are saying that am not capable of doing it. Oh please don't start again I will write that its good ok he said, at last I made him to read and comment on it so mission accomplished.
