Amy's Time

Ever since I've had Tara, I haven't been able to have much time for myself. Everyday, my free time will be taken up by Tara. I will only get a breather after she hit the pillow.

I'm not doing any activities with Tara and thus need to have a lot of time for her, I just thought that I should spend time with her during her waking hours; for bonding, communicating, having fun etc. Every weekday night, I will only see her for a couple of hours, thus I felt I should totally devote these free hours to her. To me, it's sort of like a responsibility of having a kid. Thus the everyday routine is; Tara’s time, family’s time and no time for Amy.

And usually, by the time she sleeps at night, it will be almost 10pm and I would be too tired to do anything else. So it’s usually shower, wash the milk bottles, boil water and sometimes do a little laundry and its bed time for me. Totally zilch personal time for myself. Unless a few pages of novel before bedtime is considered one.

I’m a craft lover. Anything from cross stitching, knitting, scrapbooking interest me. Doing crafts can keep my stress levels down, and completing a piece of craft work is so much more satisfying than clinching a major deal.

But now, having time to do crafts is almost a luxury. That’s why I’m feeling pretty down recently. I don’t have any time to do it, which means I don’t get to de-stress myself.

It’s time I do some time management, and set up some activities for Tara which will keep her occupied and in turn, create some free time for myself.

I need some Amy’s time badly.
