Days Without Maid

Our domestic help went home for a 4-week break last week.
We have survived 1 week without maid!

In short, very siong!

With Zyan being pretty much hyper, and my parents who can only "LOOK" after him, I need help to take care of things at home.
Mom is injured and fractured her ankle. On cast now, and essentially on wheelchair most of the time until she recover.
Dad is weak on his legs too. Actualy arms also lah.

So with 2 old folks (that needed help from others), and 1 little kid, it's quite a nightmare.

Daily routine is roughly like that:
Wake up 6.15am. Clean-up the dogs area. Dump clothings into washing machine for laundry clearance. Prepare breakfast for parents. Feed the dogs. Wake Zyan up for school, and his milk. Walk him to school.
Clean up breakfast table. Remind old folks for medine. Clear up commote for mom (damn stink! until can vomit). Hang clothes dor drying.
Clean up and go work. (weekend take a little breather)

It's good to at least have my niece or nephew to help look after the 2 old folks while we are out to work. The late morning till late afternoon, usually easier to handle. Just need to get food for the old folks, and occasional instructions from them to do some things.
It's a good time to do some cleaning up of the house as well. Hmmmmm.

Come dinner time, busy again. Need to make sure someone will pick Zyan up from school by 6pm. Need to make sure dinner should be ready by 7pm.
Need to do cooking/dish-washing, cooking usually not done by me though, unless people are very courageous to try. ;)
Feed son. Feed the dogs. Help mom to wash-up. Clear the commote (faint again!)

Bathing son would be Karinna's task lately, the old folks needs would be met by me.
By the time I finish things, probably about 9 to 9.30pm.
Not too bad actually.

Then it's bath time for myself, and if Zyan is not asleep by then, I will take over nanny job, and beat him up if he still doesn't want to sleep.

By the end of it, usually around 1030pm already. By then I am usually quite exhausted.
Has been like that for past many days, but I think getting a little used to it now.

Still, it is no fun.
Tough time for Karinna and me.

Tomorrow hopefully shall be a little better, as we are ordering tingkat food for dinner for next 3 weeks.
Hope it can lightened some load during the evening time. Better be.

3 more weeks to go. 26 Jan, please come ealy! :)
