House Chores Day... againnn....

Wah! bersemangat bangun pagi today ok.  Pukul 7am tu kira pagi la jugak for a WAHW* ye.  Actually after hubby left for work, tried to "guling-guling" ala2 hindustan atas katil but the eyes just don't want to fall asleep.  1st may be cos my baby is head-banging on my tummy wall from the inside asking for something to eat and 2nd because I just can't stop thinking of my stain floor!

Honestly, I am not always rajin to kemas rumah. Ok la, not fair for me to say that, kesian diriku ini. anyway, i kemas rumah cara i la kan. as long as it looks neat and clean, and i can receive some impromtu guests kira ok la kan.  

So prior to expecting, mmg my weekdays tu i kemas ala2 kadar je la sbb nya my weekend helper would come every Sunday and do the necessary cleaning and mopping.  So what I would normally do is susun2 cushion yg berteraburan sbb my dear hubby kalau duduk atas couch habis semua cushion dia tolak bawah!  lagi i susun2 newspapers, again my dear hubby juga la kan yg dipersalahkan sbb mungkin dia igt newspapers tu ada kaki sendiri nak naik atas coffee table tu balik.  i would do the dusting and vacuuming sikit2 la utk mana2 habuk yg nampak tu.  tapi x kuasa la nak angkat bwh carpet and gulung2 tikar kan.  Apatah lagi nak mop lantai, lagi la malas. ni mmg sgt sgt sgt malas la.  Of cos again, kalau dah comot sgt lantai tu mop la juga ala kadar.  Apapun, ujung minggu mmg tunggu helper yg overhaul the whole house lah. hihihi.

Anyway, i realised that when i first got to know i am carrying, yg i sangat2 x boleh tgk is foot stains on the floor.  Aduh, sakitnya permandangan.  Tak kisah la human foot stains ke, my kitties feet stains.. ohhhh tidakkk!!  Tak suka, tak suka, tak suka!  So i end up cleaning the house like really clean it.  Anddddd... I vacuum and mop the floor ok!  Bukan sekali... dalam seminggu tu kalau npk ala2 stain, x kisah la stain apa, kalau tgk sampai geramm, haaa ada la gak dua tiga kali mop lantai tu seminggu! Hebat x? Huhuhuhu.  Of cos  bila mop tu, baldi xde la penuh ngan air, i pun takut nak angkat berat, just enuf untuk mop one area then tukar and mop another area.  plus rumah i xde la besar pun nak mop byk area kan.

As the pregnancy advances, mmg cepat mengah la mak ni yob nak mop2 lantai ni.  So what i do is I take a break in between each task.  Kiranya, mula2 do all the dusting, susun2 bantal, newspaper, surat2 etc.  Then take 10 mins break.  Pastu vacuum pulak.  Then take some time off kejap depending tahap kepenatan tu.  Lastly baru mop.  Mop ni usually bila nak move to another area i would take a break gak sbb penat seh!  And since ada 3 area utk di mop which are the living area, dining area and kitchen so mmg task ni paling lama la.  And of cos, the speed i kemas x de la cam keretapi express tu ok.  I take my own sweet time.. my own pace.  Bukan nak msk contest sapa kemas paling cepat kan! Anyway, cakap pasal contest, kalau lah ada contest "sapa kemas paling cepat" sure kawan i yg bernama Mira tu join contest tu sbb dia mmg hantu contest. Hihi. Sorry Mira, seringan jap. Tetiba teringat u bila cakap pasal contest. Hihi.

Actually come to think of it, there are some goods coming from the progesterone ye.  Bukan semua yg x best je. Hehe.  At least, by doing some household cleaning, it is some form of exercise for me to move around.  Selain swimming la kan.  Plus, it's kinda save some money too sbb since dah kemas rumah dua tiga kali seminggu, mcm membazir lak  nak panggil my weekend helper tu sbb the house wont need major weekly overhaul like before.  Hence, dah x payah nak gaduh2 ngan my mum rebut helper tu sbb my mum pun asyik je nak helper tu kemas rumah dia. Heh!

But of cos, I xde la overdo everything.  Keselamatan ibu dan anak perlu diutamakan juga. Yang berat2 utk diangkat i'll wait for hubby to do it.  Tapi macam x byk je task angkat2 benda berat tu.  All baju2 yg need to be hand-washed, hubby willingly take over the task.  Tiap2 malam balik kerja mencangkung dalam toilet memberus baju2 tu.  Sian hubby.  And all cats matters ie. tugas2 kemas cage, do their litter, mandi kan kucing2 mmg hubby dah amek aleh since awal2 lagi.  And sometimes adik2 i datang, diorg pun suka gak mandi2 kan kucing2 tu.  So, what ever there is yg i mampu and terdaya and of cos x memudaratkan myself and my little bouncy, inshaAllah i masih boleh buat.  Kalau lepas2 ni dah x larat sgt, mmg kena pass baton la kan. hihi.  Terfikir juga, agaknya rajin anak mummy nanti bila dah besar. Doa2 begitu la inshaAllah..
