Ironing day

Tweet

Sunday night, right after I tuck RJ to bed and he's already sound asleep, is when I iron all the newly washed clothes needed for that week. I used to iron our clothes as-needed. But because of the high electric rate, ridiculously high compared with other Asian countries, I now try to iron our clothes once a week. I have this foldable ironing board, as huge and look like a snow board, that fits well on the side of the cabinet in our small condominium space.

There's no significant decrease in our electric bill but a few peso decrease is good enough saving that can be used for the next month's utilities.

Happy Sunday everyone!

I had a very stressful weekend. Why? I had to help my son review for his quarterly exams scheduled this coming Tuesday to Friday. But before the “stressful” weekend, I had my alone time Friday afternoon while my son was with his Chinese tutor.

My ME-time was doing a week’s pile of laundry. My companion while doing the laundry - my IPod shuffle. I bought this IPod shuffle with the purpose of distracting myself from getting tired while running. No, not during a fun run - that’s dangerous. Running in a track oval. I haven’t been running lately but it’s been put to good use by distracting me from getting mad while scrubbing RJ’s dirty school uniform.

Now I enjoy doing the laundry because of my Ipod shuffle. I now consider laundry day as a fun way to have my ME-time.

How was your weekend mommies? Mine was good but I was worried the past few days because of the storm Falcon. Although Mr. Sun gave a small glimpse of himself, I'm glad that the heavy rain has stopped.

I just got back from doing my weekly grocery shopping. Before that we, me, my son, nephew and sisters, went to church to hear mass. Then the kids enjoyed an hour playing in Timezone. They went home after that and I went to the grocery store.

I was planning on having a foot spa but I will just do that next weekend. An hour, in the grocery store, of buying the things that we need for the week was my ME-time. Some of you might not consider doing your mommy chores your ME-time, but everytime I am by myself is already a ME-time for me.

I was able to relax my mind and be stress-free for an hour,so that's an awesome ME-time for me already.

What about you, how was your ME-time?

Wanted: Maid

Tweet

Four more days and we’re back to our real world. We’re flying back to Manila on Sunday. I’ll surely miss having someone do the house chores, having a maid is awesome. Well, at least in the morning, at night I wash the dishes because she’s a stay-out maid. Starting on Sunday, when we arrive in Manila, I’ll have to do the laundry, clean the house, do everything by my lonesome self again.

Our vacation here in the province was so stress-free. I didn’t have to worry about the meals, the unclean house and the dirty laundry. Thanks to our maid.

I have no luck in finding a good maid that I can bring in the city. How I wish there’s a maid catalog just like that of Avon products. That would make things easier for people looking for a good helper. Just browse the catalog, compare the maids and find the perfect one for your family!

Are you bored with whatever it is that you do day in, day out? Here's a poem that might help you. I found this poem in my son's Language folder from school. The teacher might have noticed how the kids hate studying and doing seatworks in class.

I should put this in the laundry room, I wonder if it will help me smile while I'm washing my son's dirty socks. I ought to put one near the kitchen sink also. And yes, in the bathroom, I want to enjoy scrubbing the tiles!
