2 hours ME time

It was a long weekend, I finally took my 1st time break for myself being a mom ever since giving birth to Sierra. Seriously I need a time off for being myself again, at least not being a tired mom for 2 hrs. of course I am enjoy and happy to be a mom. For the past 9 months, I never dared to have a thought to leave my baby behind and having fun out there, as day and night we both spend most of the time alone at home. I always tell people that I am the tree and Sierra is the clingy baby koala, that is how I described myself.

I made sure Sierra is well fed, I kissed her and hubby goodbye before I was out and rest assured that my hubby could handle Sierra well. The 2 hrs I spent was a total relief for me, I pampered myself in the Thai Massage, all the aches, tiredness are gone. I was having it at ease and guilt-free, as Sierra is very attached to me all the time and recently she has finally shows some independence in her, it is a truly rewards for me after all the hard work and training.

My heart were wandered in the house while I was indulged in the massage thinking of how would my hubby managed to cope with Sierra the entire 2 hrs. Then, I got his SMS saying Sierra had fallen asleep and to my surprise she slept through the entire 2 hrs. How wonderful! Now that I am convinced my hubby can do all the mommy's tasks and Sierra can adapt herself well without a mommy for a short period. Perhaps, I should give myself more time off :) and just like what hubby said I deserved it

The moment I reached home, Sierra saw me and argued me to hold her in my arms so badly and she hugged me so tight and tight and it was so so sweet. As if like the 2 hrs separation is the whole century to her.

After the 2 hrs spent being myself, I take up my role as a mom again; I cook, I feed, I love, I nurture, I sing out of tunes, I baby sit, I make funny faces, I talk silly, I wipe the buttock, I blow the nose, I play peek-a-boo & hide & seek many times, I stroke, I pat and etc...and still enjoying every moment.

Thanks to my considerate hubby and my lovey-dove baby. I indeed had a wonderful time and found the lost soul ...and now I am fully recharged and ever ready to bring the best in me again.
