I have been craving for some me time for quite awhile now. Just the chance to be completely alone, take a break, sans the kids. It has been emotionally draining, taking care of the two kids alone most of the time. I find it healthier for both the kids and me if I get to take a break away from them every now and then (makes me a bit more patient, heehee). I have been with the kids everyday for the last six months and havent had a day off. I am not complaining (do I sound like it?) but to be honest, me being able to last an hour in front of the computer without breaking up a fight, or staying up way too late to enjoy quiet time, is my current only luxury. I dont even take baths alone for the past month. Martha is always with me. Even when I cook, she needs to be beside me, mixing something. (Doubling the dishes needed to be washed). Next to blog burn out, Im afraid Im going to be experiencing burn out completely. It doesnt help that people are sometimes thoughtless – I ask for me time next week to go to Manila, I get an answer of OK and then when I tell that Martha needs to see her doctor, I get a suggestion that I take Martha along when I get me time. WOW! I might as well take her, as nobody else will. I might as well get her ears pierced too so she can wear her studs. (Nope, she doesnt need to have designer costume jewelry!)
