Writer’s Workshop: You Can Just Imagine It

Dominique Parenting and Kids, Thoughts alpha thursday, mama kat's writers workshop, thursday two questions

A 3 day weekend is something which we just experienced last week. Saturday was Vesak Day and in lieu of a holiday falling on a Saturday schools were given the Monday off. The kids were ecstatic to have a day off school and time off to play.

We brought them to the Singapore science centre and to play bowling. Monkey boy is doing much better in bowling now.

Just look at his score below.

If cash wasn’t an issue I would have like to have spend that 3 day weekend a bit differently. We would have checked into a 6 star hotel at Sentosa. A suite would be good. The presidential suite or a private villa would be certainly ideal. Private swimming pool, butler and maid service couple with baby sitting would be superb!!. The kids can enjoy themselves swimming while being supervised while I can indulge myself in some spa treatment.

If the room came with gaming consoles or other kids games it would be great. The kids could entertain themselves and give me some “time off” which I need.

We would have VIP passes to the universal studios so that we could get in easily and by pass all the queuing that we need to do before trying out the rides. Dinner at the beach or at getting the top chef from one of the fine dinning restaurants to cook for us in the suite kitchen would certainly make my day. I do love dining out but dining in comfort and without having to worry about the kids running off or making messes during dinner is more of a concern to me. I’ll be able to get both- good food and a worry free dinner.

How would your ideal 3 day weekend be like?

Do you think you will be having it soon?

Writer’s Workshop:What I Miss About Being Alone

Dominique Thoughts alpha thursday, mama kat's writers workshop, Two questions thursday

It has been a long while since I really have time alone. Ever since the kids were born it has been really been difficult to get time alone. Every day I have to steal micro seconds out of the jam packed schedule just to get a breather. It is a real luxury to be able to sit back on the couch and watch a bit of television. Gone were the days where I could do what I like and set my own schedule.

Here is a list of things which I miss about being alone

I miss being able to curl up in a chair and read a book from start to end.
Getting enough sleep.
Being able to enjoy a leisure meal.
Getting to finish my meal on my own without sharing it with someone and end up still hungry after an hour.
Having the TV on AXN or FOX instead of Disney Junior or Cartoon Network all the time.
Being able to shop for clothes without rushing through the shop
Enjoying the quiet. No shouting , screaming or whining in the background.
Spending as much time as I want on my hobbies.
Getting time to sit and relax.
Not having to have loads of laundry or chores to be done daily.
