Oh
dear, I’m not complaining. If there’s one mom who is lucky to be able to work
and care for her kids at the same time, that would be me. In fact, I’m so happy
with how my personal business (which will turn a year old this June!) continues
to grow and I’m excited for the plans I have plotted for the next half of 2017. It’s
just that with my line of work, I feel the need to update myself with social
events around me which results to scrolling down my social media accounts
almost all the time. There’s a need to keep up or be knowledgeable on events,
new baby products, mommy workshops and teacher seminars around the metro! Whew!
I
feel guilty because the things that I do pull my attention away from the kids.
Instead of spending more hours in the morning singing nursery rhymes with Ate or giving the baby a bath before
lunch, I spend my time typing and researching topics for work. After that, I
have to prepare my learning materials for my students. It’s gasgas to say but “So many things to do,
so little time”.
Which
is why I promise to unplug every
Sundays (except for this post!). I promise to dedicate this day for rest, and
be a tambay at home. I have to stop
thinking about deadlines and just watch movies and series I’ve been planning to
see. I want to make healthy dishes for the family, or just sit down on our red
couch (which is the one always left unnoticed) and do NOTHING- no phone checking. I also
have to work on my reading habits, any suggested books? Lastly, I want to find
good music that will fill the soul (naks) and not just the same mainstream
Calvin Harris suggested on Spotify. The list goes on but will focus on these
first.
Moms,
and you, reading this..let’s just unplug, shall we?
