My sister-in-law (the one taking care of my kids in my stead, with my mom) went home to her province on vacation. I was left alone with the kids during the first week and I kinda freaked out on the first day. The kids are so naughty, the house is too dirty, the kitchen and the bathroom stinks, the garage looks more like a junkyard. It’s basically clutter all over! It was the first time I came to realize that the house is horrific!

Th first night, I cleaned until 1AM and was able to tidy at least a corner in the house. It was a big accomplishment when you see how dirty it is all over. That little corner being cleaned made a big impact on how the house will generally look like when it is clean. It was physically exhausting to get all things done in one day so I decided I will do it little by little. Only to realize that every day would mean new clutter and I will have to redo the tasks over and over. It wasn’t just physical, it was exhausting in every aspect!

Until now, I have not been able to completely clean the house and I am going to add a  dehumidifier too. I am doing it little by little and as I go on, I discover a lot of things about being a wife, a mother and a good housekeeper. It is a never ending task with a big responsibility of molding your child and taking care of them in their growing up years. I just wish I will have more time to be with them soon.
