I wasn’t really expecting something on this 3rd day of the year which came out to be a busy day for us—not just me, but the whole family. Today was supposed to be the general cleaning day. It has been a custom (maybe just my Mom’s tradition), to rearrange the placement of the furniture in our house every 1st weekend of the year. I don’t know if she believes in Feng Shui or something like that, it’s just that it had been a practice since then. Unfortunately, the housekeeper who was supposed to clean the house didn’t show up for some reasons. My Mom who didn’t want to break the tradition, made us work as the replacement.
Instead of complaining, I found myself enjoying the work. It’s a rare family day where each one of us had certain tasks to do. My Dad was tasked to clean the tables and dividers, my Sis was assigned to clean the windows and the bedrooms, I was asked to change the bed sheets, pillow cases, and curtains, while the rest is left for Mom to do (but we helped as much as we could, of course).
To be exact, we finished at around 3:40 pm. Mom felt so pleased for what we did that she allowed us to play PS up to sawa (with foods being served…weee). We played and played until our hands got hurt.
'Twas a busy day after all. And since tonight is my last night here in my room (my Christmas vacation is already over…*wails*), I would just sleep early (because I'm totally tired) and savor the last minutes of my stay (I'm gonna miss my room). Sweet dreams! *wink*
