Aaaargh………… It was my son’s birthday yesterday and I forgot all about it! Yesterday was a public holiday and I had many guests over,seven siblings and their families. It was sort of get-together where I included a few close friends.
This is the first time I forget any of my kid’s birthday and I am feeling terrible about it. And it’s all because of my computer. When my kids were younger I hardly touched the computer as I was always too busy with them at home.
I even did this cross-stitch when the children were young to remind me the importance of my kids. It says - The best thing to spend on your children is time. Even though sewing is my passion, it took a back seat and the children has always been my priority.
Now that they are big and most of the times not at home, my laptop is my constant companion. I know I am spending too much time on it these days, surfing on the internet and blogging . It’s really addictive and I spent much of my extra time on it.
Frankly after the cooking, washing and cleaning a mom has really very little time for herself. My cousin asked how can I afford the time for the computer to which I answered - I steal it. She said she couldn’t steal time even if she wanted to. But then she’s one of the perfect moms whom I really admire. She is actually a Research Associate in the field of Child Development and Human Relations.
I think it is time I reflect back and take charge of my life and time. Probably I should draw a time-table and restrict myself at the internet. I must ensure that I also have quality time for myself and my better half before he starts rolling his eyes.
Happy Belated Birthday Muaz. We love you.
