MMT #3 - Mom-ME Time, 5 June 2011

We went to the beach yesterday. It was just a 45-minute drive from our house in the province. Look how calm the sea is, that's at 630 in the morning. Because we were very early, we had the whole resort to enjoy for 2 hours. The water was very clear, there were small fishes swimming near the shoreline.

I was not able to join them in swimming, it’s that time of the month, so I just spent the day taking pictures. I was the official photographer of the group. While they were basking in the sun, I spent some time in the shade of the beach hut reading an ebook from my cellular phone.

How did you spend your alone time this week?

who doesn't want a me-time?

I recently watched the Date Night movie. Tina Fey's character said, "Sometimes, I just wish to be alone in an airconditioned room... eating my lunch in peace!"

I hear you girl!

Hypocrites might be shaking their heads right now and saying, "What a selfish mom". It's either that person doesn't have kids yet; had a lot of me-time already or a male person.

What about you, do you sometimes wish to be alone?

 

I'm right now looking for a picture that can be included on this post. Googled "mommy time". Why are the available pictures, for these keywords, mostly about mommy and wine?

rj's mama is not feeling well

I have been sneezing a lot for the past few days. Yesterday I was asleep until 10 am because I feel so tired! I don't have a fever or cough but I have a "full feeling" on my head. My nose is congested, I can't breath while lying down. Yup, I have the (common) cold symptoms.

I really don't feel well. Have to rest. RJ has school already tomorrow.

christmas wish: i need a day-off!!

I am a WAHM. I have to deal with a lot of stress every single day of my life. People here in the Philippines have stay-in maids, I do not even have a stay-out maid! I do everything, everyday. I do the laundry, wash the dishes (don't have dishwasher!) clean the house, cook breakfast (of course lunch and dinner also), pick up my son from school. Yup, I am the maid, yaya, mommy rolled into one.

I am not complaining (not much). But the stress! Yes, I am stressed out everyday.

I need to unwind, I definitely need a day-off!

I would definitely enjoy having a janitorial cleaning service just for one day that can handle all of the daily duties for me like doing the laundry, washing the dishes, dusting the floor, etc. I am thinking of doing it once a month.

What would I do with all the spare time I'll have on my hands? I would surely visit a spa. I need a massage. I need to remove all the stress bottled up inside my abused body. A trip to the salon would be next on my list. I need to have my hair fixed, I don't like the hairstyle that I have right now. A professional hairdresser is what I need to fix my hair problem. A new look would be nice. Shopping! It's been a long time since I bought clothes for myself. I definitely need new shirts and dresses.

What do you think? Should I start looking for a professional cleaning crew?
