Now that my 4 year old goes to school, I've discovered some Me time! She goes to school at 10am to 12 noon. Many times, I just waited for her to finish her class but then I find it a bit boring to just wait and not do anything. So, last Tuesday I went out by myself and went to National Bookstore at Cogon Area. Oh, how I remember my single days, when I would literally spend an afternoon at the same bookstore just browsing through books about home design, novels, self help and religious books. Those were the days when I was just by myself with no kids to think of. I always love hanging around at this bookstores and taking note of the books I would like to buy in the future.
The 2 hour stay at the bookstore was truly a refreshing time for me. Now, I know what to do, while my girl is in school, I can spend some ME time : doing something that I used to enjoy alone like a trip to the bookstore, doing some window shopping, going out with my close friends or buying some second hand clothes at Cogon and the list goes on.. I guess I'm looking forward for this needed time since sometimes, taking care of kids and less time for ourselves can be a bit draining at times.

Oh, how I miss CdO! Would you please post some photos of the place? Thanks Love.
korek ka diha day! take time off panalagsa... it is true that taking care of kids can be draining at times but it is really not the kids that are actually draining us parents, but the thought that we don't get to do as much as we like to the things that we are so used to doing alone. it is good to know that you can juggle some time off for yourself and take care of the kids at the same time. not all moms are blessed with that. Gbu! ciao!
