Don't you have one of these days too....when you wake up and just feel as if the whole world owes you something. This morning, I was feeling quite 'mang zang' and irritable. I guess it was because I'd come to the end of a long holiday weekend. Adrian had been off work since last Wednesday as his dad was here and Friday and Monday were public holidays. We've had visitors in the house and went out so much. So today, the 'party is over', and I'm back to my routine days. The house is in a mess (I had been in a holiday mood)....I didn't do my usual once-a-week big cleanup last Saturday...there's plenty of laundry to be done....no more eat-outs like last week....All of us woke up early today. I asked Adrian how was I going to get through the day. I desperately wanted to work on my front garden but I can only do it when Lavigne naps and the house needed my attention more.
Housework......boring and mundane! But if I don't get to it, my mood will get worse when I see the mess. I started off by doing something which I know I'll enjoy. In fact, this job is long overdue. Not housework actually but putting up the frame to display Louisa's artwork in the girls' room. I bought the materials sometime back and they had been sitting in the store room after I'd painted them. I played some Chinese children's songs in the room and the girls got on with their toys. Not bad......I could feel my mood being lifted. After that was done, I went on to vacuum the house and wiping surfaces. I never quite understand why there's so much dust in the house even though we hardly open the windows. It's not that I've neglected the surfaces for months. I'm talking about just after one day or two. OK...nevermind! I realised that as I got through with the chores, I became more cheerful. Hahahaha.....doing housework = a happy person? Hmm, perhaps it unclutters the mind. Louisa requested me to inflate the fence and tree of her toy house and that was done. So, at the end of the day, the house was less messy, Louisa was very pleased with her display wall and I got quite a lot of things done.
