Ruin of a Fine Famile

See, I can't even spell right...

Here we were, going on like clockwork. Rise at 5, workout,eat a healthy breakfast(with orange juice) , leave for work, come back, chat a little, some boring tv, nutritious dinner(with eggs and cheese and ..butter), bed at 10 with an even more boring book which put us promptly to sleep.
The laundry got done, the shopping dazzled, the house shone with order. We kept pace with everyone on the phone, answered email, were polite and considerate.

And then came the Tv series ..Mentalist into our lives..

Saturday, Dachu and I watched one episode and then another and then another....
sindhu left inbetween to book her hostel. Came back indignant to find nothing had changed in the house except the CD player. Dachu had her laptop open... to do some office work.. which she never looked at till Monday morning.
'put on the next episode ma, Im taking a break' she said.
'from what?'
'from holding the laptop on my lap.

now its down to 2 episodes every night.

And the best part is, its not even that great a series, just very addictive.
