Mama(n)datory

Living motherhood fearlessly

We're going to Yogyakarta October-end!

We, as in my husband and I.
Yes, just us two.

No kids.

First trip without kids after almost 6 long years.

What shall we expect from this trip? Not putting too high of hope, really.
We don't even know what to be put into our itinerary.
Heck we are even still contemplating to proceed with this trip.

It surely feels weird.

But we definitely need this moment to rekindle our relationship.
We're doing more parenting everyday and slacking with our marriage.

We are not alone, I'm sure.

This was a random flight purchase I did last year.
Random click on the web, random (purposely) selecting my birth date, random destination.

What luck.
RM90/pax for a return ticket to Yogyakarta.
Without hesitation, proceed with transaction.

So this is going to be our short escape from parenthood, a little honeymoon for us, and my birthday trip, all in one.

We need this.
We can do this (block-out kids physically and mentally for 4 days).
We will survive.

So let's start surveying hotels and itinerary planning.
Hurrah!!

Mama : Ok, let's go to bed. Papa balik lewat malam ni.
Mayesa : Mama, can we just sleep here tonight?
Mama : We sleep upstairs ok kakak? Kalau tidur sini, papa kena dukung kakak and adik naik atas pula nanti. Siapa  pula nak angkat mama?
Mayesa : Takpe mama. Papa boleh dukung mama sekali.
Mama : Patah lah pinggang papa dukung mama.
Mayesa : Alaa masa kahwin dulu boleh dukung. Sama je lah nanti papa dukung mama.
Mama : Hahaha. Ok lah nanti kakak suruh papa dukung mama juga ok?
Mayesa : Mengada je. Masa kahwin boleh. Sekarang patah pinggang - patah pinggang pula.

What a slap in the face.

It's true though. We tend to ignore the intimacy we once had before kids came into the picture. Bukan kata nak salahkan anak-anak, atau penat kerja, atau umur dah lanjut; somehow the intimacy level decreased to such a low point if not none at all.

Mungkin tak semua pasangan macam ni (Alhamdulillah good for you) but us, yes us, kinda lost some sparks. Don't really know who to blame but ourselves. We are defintely happy together, please don't think or du'a otherwise. Cuma tak ada sangat dah sweet-sweet, romantik-romantik ni. When either one made the initiative, yang lagi seorang mesti pekik 'buang tebiat ni dah kenapa?'. LOL

We had a talk about this, and a quick suggestion we both immediately agreed upon is that we need more time to ourselves. One, on our own, meaning solo. To unwind, to destress from our many responsibilities. Two, as a couple, as husband  and wife. To re-live the sparks, to keep our love growing and not just slowly dreading nor dying as a boring-unromantic-old-couple.

But we keep procrastinating and tak tahu lah bila nak have some quiet time to just relax and unwind a little without the kids tagging along for a while.

But first thing first, about my daughter's request....

I still dont't get a lift into bed.

I doubt I'm going to have one.
LOL.

We were so cute when we thought we were tired before we had kids.

So cute.
