Me-Time

How are you? I'm fine thank you. Still surviving and syukur with what I have till today.

How's your day today? Mine is fine. Like other day, there's peak and non-peak time, like highway! Hahaha. Right now I'm enjoying my 'own time'. Aaron and Maleec are having 'evening' nap while Juma is still at work though it is 7.35 pm now. Well, everyday I have to have my 'me-time'.

As other mothers consider their me-time as shopping, relaxing in spa or a long lunch with a bunch of friends. That's 'me-time' to me too. But I would like to have a time on my own everyday without leaving the house. It is as simple as letting me be in my thought.

Baking is a 'me-time' as well. While mixing the ingredient, I'll imagine when I have my own bakery and the customers are asking for more from me. While bathing (usually when Maleec is playing with Aaron. Aaron is a boy who loves water and want to be under water at most of the time. Maybe he is a fish. Maybe he isn't a mammal.), I'll love to visualize of me in few years time. How successful would I be!) Or while driving and listening to the music, I love to let my thought flow, to everywhere. That's what I consider as my 'me-time'.

Some women whining that they don't have time for themselves. In my opinion, the time wouldn't come to you. But you have to find it. You have to figure it out how to get it. I think you have to find way how to earn it. Since I becoming a housewife, to a bungalow that to me is quite big for a tiny person like myself to manage; I did a schedule. A work schedule. By doing this, I know when should I change the bed sheet, sweep and mop the floor, scrub the toilet and to do others. I also have my weekend, like other workers too! On Monday, I didn't schedule any house chores because I might run my errand on that day or I can adjust the working schedule if any emergency happens in that week! I also didn't cramps the schedule, as I rwalize I'm a human and not a robot!

I also learn how to say enough! I just recently learned how to say it so. If before, I'll work non-stop around the clock and it didn't benefit anybody. I'm tired, my kids get upset as I easily get angry and the quality of the work is not at the best.

So good luck in finding your 'me-time' and let me know if you have any tips that it might be useful!
