ME Time!

Full-time mothers who have young children like me know that it is hard to get a spare time for ourselves. 24/7 you devote yourself for family. I do not mean to complain or regret to be a full-time mother, but sometime I  need time to recharge myself to deal with these routine. From morning to the next morning, the days are just the same for me. So, I divide a week as weekdays and weekend. Lol.

Maybe you can feel what I feel. I feel like a robot. Not fun anymore. When I shared how I feel to Attar's schoolmate mother, she suggested me to leave the children to my husband and went to beauty salon for spa from morning to afternoon. Free from the children for a half day.

I can not do that. I absolutely would not enjoy the spa. Must feeling guilty because of neglected them.  I will keep thinking about the children meals, how will loud their screaming for their mother, will their father be patient with their never ending questions (Attar keeps asking WHY to anything he does not understand and Puan is in her period of imitating her brother action) or else.

My parents and in-laws lived in another cities, so I can not ask for grandpa-grandma's help to babysit their grandchildren. I practically bring them wherever I go on weekdays. The solution is I have to find time for myself that make me suitable with my husband and children.

Princess Hours, 25 eps.

Yep, I call it: ME Time! It is a time after Attar and Puan going sleeping. It is around 9 PM. I can do anything I want, like reading novels, watching my favorite Korean drama or even trying a new recipes in my kitchen. When my husband back home late at night, I will share ME Time! with him. We usually drink some cups of tea and talk about our day till we are sleepy.

In the morning, I will be a fresh mother who can deal with my routine. My body may lack of sleeping but I have giving "food" to my soul. Ehmm... I will watch this Korean Drama tonight. Can't hardly wait.
