Making Mommy Time

Was glad I find this kind of meme- Mom-Me Time hosted by RJ's mom. It's a reminder for all moms out there to find a few minutes (or more!) each day to relax and focus on yourself. 

As a mom to a two-year-old boy and a pre-school teacher, I badly need a "Me" time to just relax and recharge. Usually on weekdays I don't have a second to spare from the moment I wake up 'til the moment I hit my head on the pillow. So, I see to it that on weekends, I find mommy time vital to be refreshed and ready to be mom again!

What did I do yesterday? After church I took a nap with Hyzyd. When we woke up, I let him watch his favorite cartoon while I relax by reading a good book – Redeeming Love by Francine Rivers. I'm still on page 50 and I plan to continue reading it in school during my lunch breaks. Here's the synopsis of the novel:

California’s gold country, 1850. A time when men sold their souls for a bag of gold and women sold their bodies for a place to sleep. Angel expects nothing from men but betrayal. Sold into prostitution as a child, she survives by keeping her hatred alive. And what she hates most are the men who use her, leaving her empty and dead inside. Then she meets Michael Hosea. A man who seeks his Father’s heart in everything, Michael Hosea obeys God’s call to marry Angel and to love her unconditionally. Slowly, day by day, he defies Angel’s every bitter expectation until, despite her resistance her frozen heart begins to thaw. But with her unexpected softening come overwhelming feelings of unworthiness and fear. And so Angel runs. Back to the darkness, away from her husband’s pursuing love, terrified of the truth she can no longer deny: Her final healing must come from the One who loves her even more than Michael Hosea does…the One who will never let her go. A life-changing story of God’s unconditional, redemptive, all-consuming love. Over 1 million copies sold!

I also treat myself by watching movie. Last night, I watched a family fantasy flick "Zokkomon" . ZOKKOMON is an action adventure film about an ordinary boy who overcomes extraordinary challenges. Kunal, played by Darsheel Safary, is an orphaned boy, who discovers how cruel life is when he is abandoned by his heartless uncle. Left to fend for himself, Kunal discovers the hero within and begins his epic journey of adventure and transformation to become ZOKKOMON. I tell you, the film is an easy, breezy watch but is deeper than your normal fluff in the name of children’s films. There are some nice dialogues, an interesting premise where the protagonists use superstition to get the villagers to stop believing in it, and some great songs.

 I can't wait to explore next time some other ME time aside from reading and watching. Manicure? Pedicure? Spa or taking OxyElite Pro could be considered Mom-Me time? Perhaps,Yes, because I took the time to treat the tubby spots of my body..he..he..don't you think?

I can't wait to visit other mom's entries. I'm eager to know how they spend their Mom-Me Time.
