My Own 'Me' Time

Photo credit: yesandyes.org

I learned from the articles that I've read about parenting that moms should really have their 'me' time once in a while. I'm having mine for the next 8 or 9 days. Oooh yeah! Nikki and Calli are still on their vacation separately. Well, it's not really a 'me' time like 'alone'. There's Elmer on the side.

At first I thought it was going to be like as relaxed as I wanted to be. Yesterday when I looked at things in the house, I felt like everything needed some cleaning, fixing, rubbing and organizing. Just a little something on every thing. Tinitignan ko pa lang, napagod na ako. ^_^

After I got home from work, ate lunch and did a little surfing while waiting for my 'gana' to do house chores to kick in (and I tell you, it took a little while before it did, with motivation pa 'yun ni Elmer), I started with the laundry na naiwan ni Manang Pearl before they left for Pangasinan. I realized, 4 months na pala ako hindi naglalaba. Yes, hindi ako proud pero pati undies ay si Manang Pearl din. ^_^ Naramdaman ko na naman ang hirap ng paglalaba. Then nagtupi ng mga natuyong damit na nilabhan ni Manang Perla bago pa sila umalis. Then did the dishes and pots and pans that we used at lunch. Then inayos ang cupboard.

By the way, na-LSS ako sa Super Bass ni Nicki Minaj yesterday kaya pagdating ko sa bahay kahapon dinownload ko siya agad.

Boy you got my heartbeat runnin' away
Beating like a drum and it's coming your way
Can't you hear that boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass?

He got that super bass
Boom, badoom, boom
Boom, badoom, boom bass
Yeah that's that super bass

Until now, ito pa din kinakanta ko. ^_^

Going back.

All of those I finished at almost 8PM. And I never had dinner yet. I don't  eat rice for dinner. Minsan bread lang. Minsan noodles. Minsan ulam lang. Pero kagabi, kahit super antok na ako, ay dead! Lumafang talaga ako. Pero konti lang. The time I sat on the table (alone kasi Elmer was already asleep that time, he has shift at 11PM) was when I felt that I was exhausted and a little lethargic. After that, I did the usuals and went to bed. Most of the time, I would feel Elmer walking in and out of the bedroom before leaving for work. Last night was different. It may be because of the weariness that I slept so soundly and so deeply. It felt like nothing happened between 9PM and 2AM but sound, deep sleep and it also felt like that 5 hours was just 15 minutes of power nap.

Ramdam ko ang sakit ng katawan when I woke up. Feeling ko, every single muscle in my body ached (exaj lang). On the other hand, it was so nice to have felt happy and fulfilled being domesticated for one afternoon. I've always told my friends at work that my one great dream is to become a housewife just attending to my family's needs at home. Haaay!

Sitel is holding a recognition slash halloween party with battle of bands in Camp John Hay later this afternoon. I RSVP'd because I originally planned of attending the party. Surprisingly, I enjoyed the house chores yesterday that I've decided not to attend the party. Maglilinis ako ng banyo later at ng kwarto. Gusto ko malinis na malinis ang bahay to my satisfaction pagdating ng mga anak ko.

Pero hindi ko pa rin napapanood ang Praybeyt Benjamin. Manood na lang kaya kami ng sine? :)

Ciao! ♥
