who doesn't want a me-time?

Tweet

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?

I am a multi-tasking mom

Tweet

According to Wikipedia, "Human multi-tasking or multitasking is the performance by an individual of appearing to handle more than one task at the same time. "

Multi-tasking is every mom's bestfriend. Multi-tasking helps me do all chores and errands that I have to finish in any given day. At 5am this morning, while taking a shower, I was instructing my son (over and over again) to finish his cereals (as well as to chew and not just swallow it because that's what he usually does when I tell him to hurry up). A while ago, I was doing the laundry and watching the morning news. Now, I am eating breakfast and updating my blog. Those are just some examples of my multi-tasking skills.

A study done by the American Psychological Association shows that multi-tasking costs time especially when shifting to less familiar tasks. I guess that study was done without mom's on their mind. All the tasks that I do everyday are so familiar with me already I can do it with my eyes closed.

I'm pretty sure all mom's will agree with me. Care to object, anyone?

No Love like a Mother's Love

There is no love, like a mother's love,

no stronger bond on earth...

like the precious bond that comes from God,

to a mother, when she gives birth.

A mother's love is forever strong,

never changing for all time...

and when her children need her most,

a mother's love will shine.

God bless these special mothers,

God bless them every one...

for all the tears and heartache,

and for the special work they've done.

When her days on earth are over,

a mother's love lives on...

through many generations,

with God's blessings on each one.

Be thankful for our mothers,

for they love with a higher love...

from the power God has given,

and the strength from up above.
