Buying time

A trip to the bathroom, a sip of coffee, a few minutes to gorge a sandwich…hmmm..These are just few of the things that I already consider a luxury when given the chance to do them. True enough, being a mom is a huge task. Now I am getting the real picture of it. Back in the old days, I was just a mere listener. When moms talk about raising their kids, it was like listening to an exaggerated litany of responsibilities and concerns. Now I realize they are not exaggerating things. In a week’s time, I can truly say that I am learning to handle the situation, and I know in time I’ll get the hang of it. And since time is running I have to cut short my “kwento” to take care of other things.
