Very tired. Today, I really cannot take it any more. Slept with the kids but not well.
Having no maid at home, plus a very stressful and long hour job, with very demanding kids and no help at home, have exhausted me so much.
I have tried to reduce/ignore tasks that can wait. I ignored all the dried laundries, let them pile up in the living room like a mountain. Up to one point, Ian has no pajamas to wear. Ya, he has only 3 or 4 sets. There is always 1 in the dirty laundry basket, one either being washed or on the rack to dry, the rest in the pile on sofa.
On Wed, I went to get some for him. I think I need to make it 8 sets, so that at least 1 a day until weekends. LOL!
Then, they take turns to wet their beds. Isabel wet the queen size bed on Sunday. Ian wet my king size bed on Friday. I thought I could wait for 3-4 weeks to change the bedsheets, but they don’t let me wait. Sigh!
Laundry is the one that drives me crazy. I can’t even skip a day, because each kid would have 4 sets, plus my choosy husband would have at least 3 sets. Sometimes they can’t even fit into 1 load. Ian even dare to complain to me that washing machine is not that clean. * roll my eyes *
Then, everyone just add on more work for me at home. I don’t want to go into detail on this.
My job is also getting very stressful. On Friday, I worked till 10pm, due to fatigue, I made many mistakes, slowed down my progress. Received calls from FIL, urging me to pick up the kids, coz he cannot stand them any more (too mischievous). Then issues with swim lessons (ppl complaint that we have non-residence joining the class, like they ever used the pool on Saturday mornings!). I was so stressed, alone in the office, rushing for things to get done at the same time got distracted by family and other issues.
I didn’t finish my task in the office, but after got home, more work to do!
ARRGGHHH!!! When can I get my new maid? I haven’t even received any profile to choose!
Tell you what… without maid, yes I can still survive, provided I don’t work, or without children. With a job and 2 demanding kids, it is impossible to be still sane. Sigh!
I felt so tired towards the end of the week. I told my girl friends that one day I will collapse. I really feel like go die lah, don’t want to deal with this mess.
Today, I was so tired that I couldn’t wake up to go to the church. The moment I woke up at 9am, I felt the stress. I got to rush to get the kids food, and got to prepare them for the music replacement class at 10:30am. Bathed them, already took me 30 min. Breakfast was so so so slow. Got to also hang up wet laundry (stupid laundry that really cannot wait!). I was so so so rush, and again, without help.
Got home from the class and after lunch, I just went to sleep with the kids. But it wasn’t a pleasant rest. Kept woke up by the kids and the thunder. Each taking turns asking me to sleep with them (different beds). I ended up with severe headache. I think my body is more tired because today AF visits, heaviest flow.
I just feel like I want to pengsan already. Maybe if I really pengsan I would feel better? Sigh!
