working hard

yeaaa...eventhough i am sick..i have the urge to clean the whole house...hehehe...Last evening, as Kit came back from work.. he asked me to take care of Ryan for awhile as he wanted to wash his car..
soooo..i took Ryan out and put him in his stroller and stroll him out around the house while Kit washed his car.
Ryan enjoyed the ride and scenery.. and it was nice and warm yesterday. As for me, I didn't feel good at all..coz i felt like cleaning the bathroom (scrub the bathtub, clean the toilet bowl, wash the sink and clean the mirror) since morning. I can't do it during the day time..coz i do not want Ryan to smell the chemical stuff i used to clean the bathroom..plus cleaning with Ryan around? Is impossible to do kinda thing!

Soo, i was waiting patiently for Kit to finish..so that i can start my engine to clean... hmmm our friend didn't finished it till abt 6.30 pm..Ryan was hungry and i was tired of waiting too..so i went into the house and fed Ryan first..and Kit came in n asked me..sssoooooo? what u want to do now?
Then i said..why not we have dinner first..then later i wanna clean upstairs as well the bathroom.
So, he said okie..he made dinner for me... Ohh..not fancy dinner of course..something fast and easyy la..
he made Kalbassa (turkey meat) sandwhich and vegetable soup.
There we go..after dinner...everyone was full..and this poor aunty..have to start working liao..
I have to wash all dishes..clean the counter top (when men cook? is always messy around the kitchen counter top)
Pack kit's lunch andd up i went..sweeping every room upstairs..even the bathroom and staircase. Mop the bathroom floor and staircase.
After finished mopping..it was 9 pm already! Dead tired!!
Still have to scrub the bathtub and toilet bowl...sink and clean mirrorr..
sighhhhhhhhh
so no hessistation... i continue working... scrub, scrub,scrub, wash, wash, wash, clean, clean,
flush, flushhh,
tadaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.....i was done! ..almost 10 pm..
phewwwwwwwwwwww what a work out eh...
heheheh... least now i fully satisfied..that my bathroom is squeaky clean. :)

Today, laundry day...have to wash Kit's working pants and t-shirt! tadaaaaaaa...loads of laundry to do..n sweep and mop the sun room and kitchen.
Besides all the exercising, this aunty still have to play with the little one...and cook for 2 babies to eat..
Here i am...online, writing this blog...with all my chores done, littleo ne sleeping..and peaceful moment for me to enjoy!
:))

I wonder sometimes does Stay At Home Mom's job tougher than those women working outside?
I dunno, u see women outside works 8-10 hours a day.. roughly, and stress as well with their work loads..
and stay at home mom works ..hmm let me see my time..err *counting hours* 7.30 am till 10 pm,
of course we do have break in between when baby is sleep..buttttttt..when baby is sleeping..we still have house chores to finish?
so does it consider as break??
and how much is our salary per year???
ZIPOOO
hehehehehehe...but satisfaction = 100%
why?
FAMILY!!!! :)

almost every day i cook although i would love it if david cooked..for one thing, he doesn't offer..*grrr* and another thing, he leaves the kitchen in a great mess if he does, and i hate cleaning up after him.

Yea i can understand ur situation eh Letti. All men are like that..well not all..some men they like to cook..but they dun like to wash.
Kit will cook only when he likes it.

I think working women have more mental stress whereas SAHMs are more likely to suffer physical stress....sometimes both?
But those who work and takes care of 'big' and small kids are most worn out!
