Working woes

Why I haven’t been blogging for a long time now, is A) because my mum’s been ill and I’ve had to take care of all the cooking and cleaning and B) I’m forgetting english. I swear, the next post on why I’ve FOGOTTEN english!

Well, My mum was in the hospital last week due to lumbar spondylysis which means she had lower back ache. And I didn’t come home. Was shuttling between hospital college and cleaning at home.

She got discharged and got home. Of course she doesn’t need 24 hour attention but she needs 24 hour bed rest. Which means I have to do all the work. Damn it’s a hell lot of work.

It’s just a hell lot more than what meets the eye. All of us who don’t do the housework just take it for granted that there’s nothing much to do throughout the day, but every nook and corner of the house needs attention.

Early mornings are the worst, when you’re a late riser like me… I’m already late to college and I’ve to follow around the house helps and supervise them. It’s all the more tough for a person who lives in a duplex house like me… You’ve to run up and down the stairs atleast 50 times. Boy it’s tiring…

There are clothes to be folded, vessels to be kept back in their place, food to be made and served (three times a day) and water and other stuff to be carried every now and then… etc etc!

I can’t believe how mothers do it every single day, especially working women like my mother! Kudos!
Less than a week through and I’m already very exhausted. I have no clue how I’ll do this for the rest of my life once I leave home and get married and all… Leaves me worried :)

  1. Wish your mom speedy recovery!

    And, btw, “when you leave home and get married and all”, you will learn everything just the way every married woman did. So, no need to worry now. :-)

  2. @ Srikanth, thanks first of all…
    And this is the learning process and I’m not too good. I almost set the kitchen on fire :(
    And I don’t want to be all old and doing so much work that I forget everything else :(
