Hubby has to work last weekend. He complaints about being tired having to work on weekend and this week he's so busy there's no way for him to take replacement leave. I told him I'm tired too... there are a lot of things to do at home over the weekend. I bought a dish rack because the one we have is too small. I broke a bowl and a jug already. So I rearrange all the plates and containers and pots and pans from all our kitchen cabinet and on the new rack..
Since I went for Raya shopping on Saturday and dish rack hunting on Sunday, there's not much weekend left. I managed to wash all our laundry except for the old curtain which always has to wait in one of the laundry basket and then I'll have more laundry to do so I have to prioritize and let the curtain keep on waiting. At least our laundry basket of work and day clothes is totally empty. If I have more time, I wanted to arrange our books and files but I don't have any energy left. So some books and files are still in the boxes. I also want to mop the floor and rearrange my wardrobe but I'm not a superwoman. All that has to wait for my next cleaning session. Sigh!
If I'm single, I'd be contented for successfully doing all the laundry and having the plates and pots and pants more organized in the kitchen. One weekend I'll do this and another weekend clean up something else so I won't be overwhelmed with house work. Despite staying alone, everything got dusty quite fast. Unlike if you're staying in a kampung, there are no trees to stop the dust from flying into the house. There are a lot of laundry to do too.
I just wonder now that I'm married, would hubby notice the dust under his table instead of a more organized kitchen; would he wonder how come there are so many unfolded dry clothes and not notice the empty laundry basket; would he notice the books and files still in the boxes and not the new decorations on the dining table; would he notice the unswept floor and not the new flower decorations on the wall and aorund the house; would he notice the watermarked bathroom wall and floor and not the shining wash basin?
Hubby has never complaint so far but who knows what may go on in his mind.
Dear hubby, we are both tired. Just in different ways :) I do know how it feels when we have to work on weekend. Even if we can take replacement leave, it still didn't feel the same. There's a different atmosphere around us to let us know we're not supposed to work on weekend. I'd still choose being tired cleaning house over tired working on weekends :) We'll wait for Raya holiday to rest yer.
