I am a mother of a 6-year old boy,

I am a wife of a 33-year old man who is also a teacher in Changle No.2 middle school

I am a daughter of my 60-year old parents, and daughter-in-law of my 60-year old parents-in-law.

I am a teacher,

an junior English teacher of three classes

and for most of the time I work for other jobs such as attending different kinds of meeting.

But you know I am a girl ,(I do not like to call myself woman, though I am)

a big girl in the big world, with my own longings for life.

As a girl,

I would like to have my own time each day,

If I have half an hour,

I would like to

Lie on my warm bed,

Or sit in the cafe,

Full of sunshine

And In peace

Open my favourite book,

And turn to the page I stopped yesterday,

To immmerse in the world,

The beautiful world,

only belonging to me and the writer.

If I have an hour,

I would like to plant some flowers or vegetables,

in my small garden on the balcony.

If I have two hours,

I would like to make my favourite cookies or try some new dishes

If I have a complete weekend,

I would like to have a trip,

Maybe I will visit my parents or grandma after a three-hour driving,

have a family dinner,

have a relaxing sleep at my parents' home for one night,

then come back on a late morning after 3-hour driving again.

Maybe I will  choose a nice place as the destination of my nice weekend trip,

for example,

the seaside or mountains

not so far from me.

If I have  more than 10 days,

I would like to have a long journey

to a far place with my family,

Tibet , Taiwan, Xinjiang, the Southern China or other countries.

However,

for most of the time, it seems that I do not have enough time.

But I still could have my own time to do what I would like to do,more or less, as long as I really would like to do that.

Anyway, time is not enough forever, even till the last day.

So everyday,  I could read my favorite book maybe for only 5 minutes, maybe for two hours.

Every month,

I could have a short journey to my parents' home or a place I would like to go.

Every year,

I could have a long journey travel to a place we have never been to and always dream to, by myself or with my family.

So just try to have your own free time and use the free time you have to do what you would like to do every day, month, year or the whole life.

Today, it's also a crazy day,

I planned to work in the office after school lunch

but at 11:00am, my mother-in-law sent me a message saying "Hi, girl, I made dumplings of mushroom and meat,  come home and have lunch",

I thought for two seconds and replied "Yes, I will. Thanks, mom!"

Then you already know the result.

I had a delicious lunch at home

and then finished my speech fluently and happily

which I am sharing now

and besides that

I could also had a ten-minute nap.
