This is how I recharge.

Do you know, we, SAHMs have these No-Work-day and Supermom-day (sorry, not supermodel) in our monthly planner? But of course, it doesn't show there coz it is meant to come as and when it wishes.

It's a very powerful secret to keep ourselves happy and sane.

As I've mentioned in the previous post, I had been very hardworking. Yes, it was workdays which consists of some Supermom-days too when I would be ferrying the kids around, whipping up a cake and few rolls of sushi, then cleaned up or improvised some parts of the home, tutor the kids or read up some books with them, ironed the damn whole pile of laundry (that one! it keeps coming back!) but feeling absolutely happy and satisfied at the end of the day.

But to be honest, my yoga workouts in the morning still remains un-compromised, as it gives me so much pleasure from all the sweating out and stretching exercises. After the workouts, those gym buddies would be asking round to go for yumcha sessions and it seems much of a routine nowadays. We are having so much fun eating, chatting and laughing that it would be weird not to be having that teh-a-teh after the workout. Now, that part of the "work" that kept me busy whole morning till school pick-up time, I am not complaining. I so love my life right now!

And yet, sometimes, I devour in the simple pleasure of having a quiet time at home, finishing up the chores early or finally putting some action into some ideas in mind.

But once in awhile, it feels so gooooood to be just sitting back, taking a day off from the kitchen, enjoying some simple al-fresco style dinner at the food court while waiting for meimei's ballet class to be over. This kinda impromptu off days are so much more fun than planned ones. And I just have to love my hubs when he just says ok as I called him to ask if he could come home early for dinner for I wasn't feeling like cooking dinner and I want to go out to eat.

Then, on some rare other days, it feels reverberating to just dress up and make up, and go take a walk around the shopping malls even if it's just window-shopping on my own while the kids at school and the hubs at work. It really recharges the flat batteries and the aftermath, more quality time with the family and supermom days ahead.

This has been how I keep myself going and have to say, I'm loving it.
