Hmmm it's nice to have some quiet time... not that I don't want to have people around me.


D 'you know what I mean?

I think it's the first time I am loving alone time. I don't know how long I would be loving it though. I bet I would be missing my hubby already when it's time to sleep and he's not there by my side.

J left for a business trip to the Texas this morning and my stepdaughter has just gone out to watch Avenue Q with her girlfriend. I don't think I would see her before I sleep. It's very sweet of her to ask if I am going to be okay by myself and say if I needed to talk or anything, just call.

Well, I have been alone alot of times before..so I think I can manage. It would be very different when she leaves for New Zealand to continue exploring the world. Click here if you wanna read about her adventures.

Anyway,I was thinking of going out myself and do some window shopping or so but I thought "It's weekend - it must be very busy in the city. I am not really in the mood to see too many people." It's always so busy in the malls in weekends. I'll go tomorrow.

The last couple of months had been a roller coaster of emotions for me. I have been having very bad mood swings on my PMS days. My hubby said I was not like that before...I honestly don't know if I had it that bad.

Was it because I am a little bit stressed in trying to get a baby

...or could it be that I am way to preoccupied with my blogging activities


... or probably because we had guests coming and going for the last couple of months?


Maybe it's a combination of everything.

I need to get a manicure and pedicure tomorrow.

I would love to get some peace and quiet myself sometimes but it's impossible.

If you feel lonely sometimes, we can meet up for tea. :)

Pinayjade,
It is good to have some quiet moment.
Have a stress-free day.

Boy do I know what you mean! I used to hate the idea of doing anything alone, like breakfast. I thought people would think, poor girl, not a soul in the world loves her. But when I did it for the first time I loved it! Time for you is so important. Do it more often. Plan for it. Make an Appointment for it if you must, but make sure you do it more often.

Enjoy your time alone! You'll miss days like this when you do have kids. I love days that are just for me... to do nothing at all if I want. They are few and far between now!

Regarding Photoshop, there is a 30 day free trial available. Check it out at adobe.com

Enjoy your Sunday, and be well, Jade. I think that having a pedicure and manicure is a great way to pamper yourself.

I had no idea you had a step daughter. She sounds like a sweet girl. So how long will hubby be gone?

I like alone time. But not too much alone time. I always think I should do something productive with it but end up surfing the web or reading a book instead

nothing beats a pedicure for unbeatable pure relaxation!

My alone times are during the day when my kids are in school, but it's not like I really enjoy it ... that's when I get laundry and shopping and cleaning, etc., done. I miss having alone time where I can just relax and maybe read or something.

Enjoy your time!

Hi Jade,
We could have met yesterday before I left. It would have been fun just bonding and have a cup of coffee. I was too bummed that I had to miss meeting you there in Singapore because the in-laws had so many in their itinerary that I had to skip my own plans. This is a note to self: NEVER TRAVEL WITH THE IN-LAWS EVER! hahahahaaa.... wish we could have met though bec I brought something. Now I guess I'll send it thru FedEx!!!

Try to enjoy the quiet times. I love solitude. It's the only moment I can get a peace of mind and I think clearly most days when it's quiet and no one to bug me.

If you're into hormonal pills, then that can contribute to your mood swings to. I had it at one point when I had problems with my period so had to take the hormonal pills. My hubby said I was like Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde! LOL...

I know what you mean about enjoying your alone time! I love being around my family but there are times I crave silence!! Sorry to hear about the mood swings...I know trying for a baby can be extremely stressful, plus you have other things on your plate you're dealing with. Hang in there!!

Quiet time is so important. I love to find a secluded place and just quiet my mind and relax. It makes for a nice Sunday?
