How to keep my sanity for three maidless weeks

concocted on Wed, 26 Dec 2007 @ 11:29 am for Family

paOur maid has gone home this morning and for the next three weeks, I won’t be waking up to a piping hot cup of tea.  Breakfast won’t be waiting for me and my bed would not be made either.  These little things that I have come to take for granted on a daily basis would certainly become things that I would come to relish.

Not to mention I have to do my own laundry, ensure the house is in a livable condition and basically keep our routines going.  Which means not only will I not have the luxury of my me time, life will probably descent into a state of chaos for a while.  But to maintain my sanity, I have already pre-warned the man not to contribute to the mess by keeping his change of clothes to a minimum, put all towels in their right place and not to leave things lying around.   The boy was told to be more cooperative and his role is to learn to operate his own toys without bothering me at all.  (Arrgh…I have no idea how to transform those autobots!)

As for me, I will have to learn to live offline for now.  And to make sure I don’t break down too quickly, I’ve already got a few entries pre-written up for my blogs.  Yesiree, I’m quite a superb planner, I know.  Let’s just hope those plans are sustained and these three weeks do not become MADNESS!

P/S:  Planning is good for this week only.
