Hi All,
I am back on IL after almost 10 days now. First of all, let me say HATS OFF to all the ladies who manage the household being at home and doing all the work regularly.
I was a total full time housemaker plus mother for past 10 days. My babysitter cum maid had some personal issues and she was missing for 9 days
I was busy with household chores, taking care of my DS and it was fun plus very very tedious...........
Being a housemaker is no easy job as we get excused for ignoring some tasks if we are working but our own conscience doesnot let us ignore if we are responsible for our household entirely.

 

Hi:hiya,

Friday reached home only by 10 PM and i was not able to do any household chore on that day.

Saturday: Got up at 6.30. Chopped Veggies and loaded clothes in W/M and dried them after the clothes got washed in it. Went to office. Went to shopping in the evening and had a dinner with my DH in a hotel after a longtime:2thumbsup:

Sunday: I stayed at my mom's house. Got up at 9 AM and had a relaxing oil bath. Had lunch and slept again. Got up at 5 PM had my tea and went for a walk with my DH. Came to my house at around 8.30 PM and set things right and slept off.
