House chores are more tiresome than office work!

April 15, 2022

Now I get to understand why Mum always has back pain or even headache after cleaning some space at home since most house chores are very tiresome.

Mum shouted and told me to get up already because the sun is all up but I am still in bed. This was yesterday since I woke up at 11 in the morning. She then threw some milk on the table and told me to have some hot liquid inside my body. And yes I am prohibited to have coffee whenever I'm at home with my Mum always watching what I ate and drink. I haven't told you but Mum is really possessive over me for I don't why but she just likes to watch me and loves to take care of everything I ate.

But not on the house chores.

So since I am resting ever since Wednesday so I told her that I'll help her with the house chores and also do some cleaning in my room. I insisted so she agreed but I woke up late so I was told to look after the kids and also baby Alex(my little niece).

After bathing the kids and myself, I then bathe baby Alex and put on her clothes and diapers, also feed the kids and the baby, then watch them doing their toothbrush sessions, and then gave them their vitamins. When I saw the clock it was almost one in the afternoon so Papz will be home after his sideline carpentry work at my Uncle's house and since I already cook rice so the viand was all left for me to cook.

After cooking Mum was going to clean the bathroom but I told her that I will do the cleaning. I was cleaning that freakin bathroom for almost an hour and I am not an expert at using brush and cleaning tools but I managed to finish it and my sweats all over me that Papz was laughing when he saw me huhuhuhu. Second bath and I was fresh again. After eating Mum then told me to let the kids have their siesta, so I then felt triumphant for I can finally have my long-awaited rest. But then the problem is my son doesn't want to sleep with his cousins but wants to sleep with me in our room, so no choice but to let the prince have his way, aigoooo.

So I was catching up with the reading of articles and commenting on them since I have a lot of unread articles, I can't read a lot, and even sometimes can't focus so I have to re-read again if ever I didn't understand what I'm reading.

So I only can use the other arm since he's using the other one. One thing I love about this child of mine is he's really sweet even when sleeping, he wants to be close to me. Mum understands us and always gives us time together for she knows that when regular days come this kid will be missing his mom every day.

After their nap time comes the snacks and I have to cook them something delicious to feed their tummy and also need to mix the formula for the baby since Mum feeds her lunch. Watching and taking care of my little niece takes me back to the time when my son was still a baby and can't do anything on his own aside from crying because he was hungry or he wants to be carried or cuddled. From the feeding to the changing of diapers from time to time, it also made me think that I don't want to experience it fully again for I can't take having another child aside from my son now.

Dinner time came out of the blue that I never noticed since I was tasked to fold all the clothes. This is one of the chores I hate the most, especially when you're folding those kids' and the baby's tiny clothes, ugh, so tiresome. Mum even suggest to iron it but I contradict it since I am not used to having my clothes or even my son's to be ironed, I'm not used to it and I can't control heat when using an iron.

After dinner, comes the washing of the dishes, my sister can't touch the water since her process is in soldering so she needs to rest her hands for a couple of hours. I like washing dishes, especially if there's a lot of water and we have a lot of rainwater so it's easy and I wash them off with natural water.

And the cleaning of the room was forgotten until today and maybe I can clean my room this coming Sunday since we were told not to do excessive work while observing the Holy Week.

I then conclude that cleaning and doing house chores is really tiresome that I prefer to work in the office and face all those papers, but doing the cleaning and having to sweat is quite an exercise for me too since I am really a double size right now lol!!!

Kudos to all the housewives for keeping the house clean and organized.

Thank you for reading..
Be blessed and be a blessing!
