myLot reputation of 98/100. moolahmagnet (2223) 4 years ago

It's past 8PM and I'm sitting here with my varicose veins wanting to pop out!w00t Darn I'm so bloody tired!

My hubby came home past four pm and told me he was tired, he cleaned up and went for his usual afternoon snooze while I started preparing dinner. While I was dicing some onions, I had tears in my eyes, not sure if the onions causing it or it's the exhaustion! I realized that I've done a lot of running around today and played so many roles!

I have 3 homestays students in our basement suite at the moment and a couple on the other house extension for our bed and breakfast suite biz. Woke up this morning at 5:30 and couldn't go back to sleep so I started preparing breakfast. So I was a cook (1) and dishwasher (2)!

Then I had to drive one of the homestay student to school. I was a driver (3) then I had to post some mails and packages for our ebay biz. I was a mailman (4) Then, I had to get some groceries (5--what role is that?) I had to check our shop in the mall. I was a boss (6).

My son needed me to help him with his assignments and project (7- I was a teacher). Went to garden and dug up some spots for the three plants that hubby took home a week ago and about to wilt and die, I was a gardener (8). While doing that, I popped some laundry in the machine, I was a laundrywoman (9).

Hubby rang up at lunchtime to open the ebay account and asked me to watch the card he was bidding that finishes in 30 minutes (10- I was a secretary) and won that.

Then there was goatlike stinking poop, don't know where it came from, along the hallway that I stepped on! Ugh!cry So I ended up mopping the whole house! I was a janitor (11) Then I had to cook again for dinner!! I just got to take the trash out awhile ago while my hubby helped me wash the dishes! I was a garbage woman! Now, I have to find what movie to watch for everybody-- entertainer? (12) I'm sitting out here in the deck and told them to give me five minutes PLEEEAASEEE!!

Man! I'm so exhausted I just want to stay sitting here! surrender but I can't!!!

Well that was my day, and how was yours? Do you get to do as much too? Nitey All!

I am a grandmother, mom, mother in law and student, I am then a babysitter, teacher, housekeeper, and cook. I have some days I do not know if I am coming or going. Or lets not forget chaffer ' to my grandson' he has boyscout, summer school, martial arts' I help my son with his paper route at 2 am daily. I sometimes, when I am able to get time for myself, Lets not forget friend, sister, cousin and aunt, lol

Life keeps me on my toes, My favorite time is when I am sleeping and when I am relaxing. I must say I love being with my friends and family, however, breaks are great.



myLot reputation of 98/100. moolahmagnet (2223)  4 years ago

Geez, you're busy body yourself! There must be seldom dull moments for you, too! BAH! and other people need to go to the gym! Enough work out for us! LOL~


myLot reputation of 37/100. lynn2457 (195)   ranked 5,242 out of 32,957 in life  4 years ago

So very true. I keep on my toes, that is for sure, as it looks as you do too. It's amazing, after my child has grown and all the things I did then, to have all this again is awesome in one way and tiering in another. I just feel blessed Even with the hats I wear, I know that in time, my day will come and someone else will get to wear them instead of me, when who know, maybe never, but it does not help to pray it may happen one day. take care great post

Not really that much busy as you were, I am dutiful son to my parent, and still i live with them.. look after the needs of them...as long as i go to office..and will be an honest Insurance employee..and every now and then inquiring about the stock market situation.. sometimes i act as an investor, but on most occasions i act as an financial advisor.. helping others to make money in the worst marketing conditions.

Interesting question - definitely interesting way to analyze a day! Let's see.....

1) a daughter first of all, living in Mom's house as her
2) caretaker - preparing her meds and meals making me also the
3) cook. But, I do our laundry as well so I'm the
4) washer woman. While I'm in the basement doing laundry, I feed my cats, so I'm a
5) pet owner. Then I go online and become an
6) Internet junkie. The phone rings, it's my daughter, and suddenly I'm
7) the mother who is being asked for a favor. The phone rings again and it's my friend looking for advice, so now I'm a
8) counselor; but I've just been to the Vocational Rehab office seeking my own advice, so I'm also
9) a client. Then I call in my prescriptions and go back to being
10) a patient. When I go to the store or the pharmacy for my mother I'm the
11) courier. Taking the leftover breads and vegetables out to the birds makes me a
12) bird feeder/recycler. Taking my mother to dinner or to her doctor's appt., I become the taxi driver.
13) I'm grandma when my son calls and puts the kids on the line.
14) I'm maintenance when I tighten the bolt holding the toilet seat on or put the screw back in the screen door hinge.
15) I'm a mechanic when I have to check my car's fluid levels and replace the head lights.

Wow - I guess I have more reason to be exhausted than I thought!!! LOL lol


myLot reputation of 98/100. moolahmagnet (2223)  4 years ago

Yep! When we count what we do in one full day, we'll be amazed ourselves how we did that!! You beat me by 3 points! LOL! busy body you! Good! Life can't be boring doing all those stuffs, one sure thing though is, something or a lot is accomplished in a day, and that quite make us pretty important in this world and someone else's! Congratulations! You've maximize your life and made the best of it! Hope you get compensated for all those efforts! If not, as we all say, 'our merits are in heaven!'

myLot reputation of 98/100. moolahmagnet (2223)  4 years ago

You're welcome! I've also forgotten this and had to go through all my unresolved discussions!
