It's good to have help in the house

It was a long weekend for all of us. That's what we thought when we entered Friday, with one addition leave day, that is a luxury to us.

However, when we entered Sunday morning, we felt the weekend was fading away......

There were still a lot of work to do around the house. Alhamdulilah, my cuties are big enough to help.

My princess was doing the dusting to make sure the racks and TV are dust free. While my hero was doing the vacuming....

And where's my baby....

Tiduqlah, mana lagik!!!

The day I felt like an incompetent mother

I never had a maid. Not that I am against those who have one, but that's just the choices that me and my better half decided. We felt, both of us still can manage the chores and so we decided, not a necessity to have a maid. I am blessed to have a better half who is very hardworking to help me out.

However, like I have mentioned thousand times how workload is really overwhelming nowadays. Most of the time, after I sat down with the cuties to help them with their homework and after I cook dinner, I have to go to my mini office in my room to do office work. I still manage to do some of the housework but not the cleaning part.

Last weekend, I had to make a difficult decision, that is to hire people to clean my house. It's not something I like doing because I felt may be it's a waste of money. Maybe they don't really clean the house up to my expectations. and may be....a whole loads of may be....

But, I know I have to be realistic. There's no way no matter how I juggle, I can do everything.

Alhamdulilah, the decision was really worth it. They did this spring cleaning package where they send 3 people to scrub clean the whole house, from the kitchen to the bathroom to the rooms and halls. Memang berbaloi baloi!!!

After this would be the maintenance part where they will come 4 times a month and clean the house again.

And the good thing is I got to spend my Sunday with my better half and the cuties, talking and playing games in our garden. That makes the spending much more worth it!

Look what the cuties did!!

Nope, nothing bad...Thanks GOD!!!!

While I was doing loads of lipat kain action and followed by ironing one week of school uniform supply, I was wondering what the cuties were up to since they are not upstairs watching television. I was silently praying they are not making any mess downstairs. I actually plan to do some sweeping and mopping downstairs after I complete the clothes related tasks and put them to bed.

However, they gave me a pleasant surprise instead. They were actually doing some cleaning action themselves. They were even decorating the living area and dining table with the stuff that we bought from this and this warehouse sale. They also swept and mopped the floor.

I only realised this when they went to bed....I am so glad they did that for me. I was actually tired from the balik kg trip and now I just need to bathe and can go straight to bed....Sayang anak2 Mama!!!
