I've noticed I've gotten better at having 'me time'. I don't ask for it you see, I just sneak it in when nobody is watching. Right now, Neel is taking a nap and Sekhar, his dad, is taking a bath. If all goes well this means one hour of uninterrupted emailing and blogging for me.
Early mornings are mine too. Lately, after giving Neel his first feeding, if given the choice between trying to nod of for another half hour or so, or staying up and eating my cornflakes in one stage (in stead of: stage one poor milk - stage two put cereal in bowl after changing Neel's diaper - stage three go fetch the spoon in the crib, left there because Neel was screaming for feeding NR 2- stage four eat soggy cereal), I rather stay up, eat and read the online newspaper.
It is funny what happens to time when you are not getting any. Uninterrupted minutes seem like hours, an hour looks like a day and although I haven't tried it yet I am pretty sure that half a day will feel like a week vacation.
"What did we used to do with our time?" I ask Sekhar during one of our evening with-stroller walks. "Watch TV" he said. Now that just seems like such a waste of time.
