All of us need that 10 to 20 minutes time off from our hectic life. Probably twice a day at the very least.
Blog, read or just play mobile games for that 10 to 20 minutes.
I know mummies who smoke so that they get that short break.
Why not just lock yourself in the bathroom (make sure the kids are safe, sleeping in a safe place, infant in the playard with nothing in the bassinet, doors and windows are locked, kids are engrossed in a safe activity that can last 10 minutes and / or someone whom you trust is watching the kids), and blog, read or play mobile games.
Why within 4 walls and a door? Do you have anyone else at home who tries to talk to you whenever you seem free or look like you have nothing to do? (Actually you just want a break, isn’t it)
Alright, not the bathroom then where?
The kitchen or the living room sofa then, if there’s no one else at home other than your kids and you 🙂
Grab an ice cream or a popsicle. Savour it and relax.
Worried? Then, time yourself. Give yourself 10-minute break by setting an alarm. When the time is up, just get back to your kick-arse-self mum mode.
