I too made a list !

Hi Chitra,
Such a nice write up..you write from heart..so loved to read those homely knick-knacks....
As all said, its impossible to maintain a list......and one truth is that while we think weekends are for rest, but most of us end up working more in weekends....:confused2: so do I..........
In weekdays, I had to leave home at 7:00 am sharp, so dear hubby does everything....from preparing his breakfast to arranging the beds (he used to sleep longer after I left to work) etc....but I prefer to give the poor soul rest from these things, and also he will keep me asking for breakfast in weekends...so have to make something unusual for breakfast in weekend........then starts the day.......arrange the clutters of whole week..........laundry/ironing/vaccuuming
...........grocery...........launch in/out....again some outing/love to shop a lot.......then evening snacks.........then chatting..............finally dinner/no dinner......again end of the weekend.................. and a new working day...........
this is our usual weekend routine............
You won't believe that I had plans to do my Flex bills and some ironing which I am unable to do since one month.......:bang...........so I have planned to do it by this weekend POSITIVELY.........wish me luck...
I have no kids yet but see how lazy one could become.........
Regards to all........

 

Dear Anandchitra,

Loved reading this article from you ! It made me smile the way you resigned yourself to cozy yourself with your loved ones and forgot about the list! Right, one has to recognize the priorities in life.
Me, I became an expert at making list. If you live in Germany with Germans as friends and neighbours, you will end up making list, you have no other go. Add to it a scatter brain like me, you will be compelled to make a list!!! Oh..all those woes I went through 'cause I forgot an invitation or forgot to keep an appointment! I learnt the hard way.
But guess what, I am in US now and I have become careless and don't make those lists anymore. But now, I feel I should. Making a list is especially helpful if you are having guests.......and for so many other things. But you can bet on it that my clothes are neat and my hair is in place....don't know about the brain below the hairline !!!!:crazy

Hi anandchithra,
That was a lovely piece. A neat four walls is only a house and the mess by kids and familyshows their talent in interior decoration perhaps!. They outgrow it and we wish those days will come back.Thats is the enjoyable part of life. The scribbles on my wall by my GD not only brings sweet memories of thechild but I go back to the babyhood of my own children. You pour your heart out in all your writings,anandchitra.
Regards,
Meenu

 

hi chitra,

Wonderful write up. the way u are expressing the situations are great.....

I keep my house spik & span.

It is the atmost thing in my life . Everything has to be organised , done on time , 24 /7 I keep cleaning the house. Everything is written systematically in th white board.....

After reading all the posts as shoba has written I think I should relax my conditions & not impose too much of much of my cleaning habit on my daughter.

let me see whether I can change little bit.

may be our kids will remember the quality time spent than our clean house
