Motivational Mondays – My husband comes before my child

I’m a mum and I’m proud of it.

But some days, just some days, I do wish I can go back to the days before we had Sophie. Please don’t judge me when I wish that I can sleep in as late as I want on weekend mornings. When I don’t have to order something that is not spicy, oily or child friendly when I have to share my food. When I can have a nice evening just stoning in front of the TV without being interrupted by my little one to rad a book, play something, feed her…

So when we had the opportunity to take a staycation at the soon-to-be opened Westin, Alexis decided that it will just be for the two of us while my mum took care of Sophie.

We were of course thrilled to be have a day to ourselves and be part of Westin’s simulation program before they officially open their doors to the public on 12 November 2013.

We had a fantastic sea view that overlooked the bustling PSA

 Bimbo moment because I love how the mirror made my legs look so long

The pool was not ready yet, so I could only swim in my bath tub

And gosh their signature Westin Heavenly Bed was indeed one of the most comfortable beds as I was lulled to dreamland the moment I rested my head on the pillow. Either that or that I really could do with a good night of uninterrupted sleep.

Even though we only had a short day to ourselves, we left feeling so rejuvenated and even hinted to Alexis that we should take a couple’s holiday for just the two of us since we brought Sophie along to Taiwan and Hong Kong this year. I think he’s pretty convinced and I’m glad that I’m still, if not as important to him as Sophie.

As much as I remember to put Alexis first before Sophie, I’m glad he’s doing the same for me too 🙂
