We are really really busy!

I said this before and I say this again: I don't know how other parents do it. Especially those working mothers, who can still be so productive after work: baking, cooking, spending time with children!

Honestly, I just can't find time in the kitchen. Weekdays are definitely off, I am so drained after work. Whatever little time that I've got is spent tutoring the kids, spending time with them. I go to bed close to midnight, trying to get some relaxing time watching tv, or just talking to hubby!

Weekends are definitely burned; sending children for their extra classes, doing whatever work that we cannot get done during the weekdays. It's also the time when I get to catch up with my sleep. It may just as simple as getting up later than my usual 6 am schedule or napping for 20-30 minutes in the afternoon.
Even then there are so many things that I want to do with the children but I just can't find time. Simple things such as bringing the children to free concert in Esplanade so that they can learn to enjoy the music. Or, exploring the beauty of art by exposing them to art galleries.

But, given the choice between pursuing my hobby or spending time with my family, my answer is obvious. The children grow up too fast and even then, I am still guilty of not spending enough time with them. Oh well, at least, I have tried my best.

It will take me some time to find the energy to be a superwoman. At this point of time I am enjoying the time with the family. The cakes can wait, but the children can't.

Just one of those days that I grouse non stop!

Note: amazingly, despite the busy claim for me, no weight is lost in the process!
