Thumbs Up to a Job Well Done!
Tia told me yesterday,
When I grow up I want to be like you, Mommy. Because you're always cleaning. I want to clean too!
Hearing from my messy daughter it's music to my ears. Oh, please I hope that she will learn to clean when she gets a little bigger. That's while I'm having a break from house chores.
At weekends I'm into cleaning as usual. This time my agenda is to tidy up the lane. My husband is working and I know this is gonna be a hard job but I did it anyway.
I didn't get the kids though they want to help I say no. It's because it's on the lane. And some cars are just come flying if they didn't know that we're working down here. And I can't watch them so better if they are in the house.
So I start bleaching the patios and garden paths. The unwanted plants, moss and weeds are everywhere. I think I used all the bleach in the house. Nearly 10 bottles I think coz I also did the front house. And I just use a bucket to do this coz I don't know where is the power washer. So I can tell you my muscle was working hard this weekend.
Then off to the lane and started my job. That's the time when I told myself, "I shouldn't start this." Lol.
And it's required to wave at every car that passes me and I felt like a celebrity. Take note, wave with a big smile! And from time to time I have to talk to all the people walking past me and most of them are walking with their dogs. I hope I don't find a bag of sh*t in here. 🤣
I can tell you that I work 5 hours just for this part. And you know the hardest part is when I'm lifting all those piles of weeds and dried leaves. The shovel is heavy too! I can't find the other one. My husband will be laughing at me.
And I'm not even done with half of the lane and I already filled our brown bin.
Now I went to get the wheel burrow and carry on the job. We have an extra brown bin that I can fill. Now taking this bin back to the house was a struggle lol. But I did it! 😂 I nearly fell but lol at least no one sees me.
And I took a break and have a cup of tea then make our dinner. Before I continue my work.
And I had to eat as I'm starving. Just a quick one!
Then off to the lane again. And oh Tia gave me a hand on the hose so I can brush the patios.
And now it's better looking and I'm so satisfied. Just a bit more bleach or the one that my husband uses to spray on then it will be great.
The neighbour who just passed me told me I did a great job. I'm just at the right time when I finish and the rain comes on. I'm glad as it can clean off the dirt I left.
And that's me on a Saturday. My husband gave me a thumbs-up! And today when I woke up my whole body is sore. But I'm used to it now. Also today I made doughnuts with the kids! I'll share it in my next article.
How's your weekend? Are you glad it's Monday tomorrow? I have to work tomorrow. I just remember that. And parents-teacher consultation after. It's never-ending. 😁
Thank you for reading.
Really nice thing you've done. Everywhere looks green and clean.
