Independence Day

7 more days to go...our Aces family lifestyle will change a little, especially for me.

Siti, my domestic helper, is booked on Garuda Flight to go back on 21 April 2007. She is returning back to Jakarta to get married. Her husband to be and his family are looking forward to her home coming. I am happy for her as she has found a reliable man for herself.

So, back to our Aces lifestyle - from 22 April onwards i will be "promoted" to the ultimate ranking that any woman would look forward to - "MMM". ( Mother-Maid-Master of all trades)

For 3 years, we have been enjoying the wonder of having a Magic Hands in the family and now this Magic will disappeared.

Well, it's a matter of getting used to what we did before Siti joined our family.

For housework, i will try to do :

- Sweeps the floor daily

- Mop 2 or 3 times a week, depend on level of dust

- Laundry - need to set schedules to include weekdays washes as well. (now Siti handwash the laudry during weekdays. Machine washes during weekends when we have heavy stuff, like bedsheets etcs.)

- Cooking will be done on weekends, if time permits. For weekdays, we will need to order Tingkat Dinner as by the time i finished work and fetched the children from childcare, there is not enough time to cook.

- Ironing will be done on weekdays night or weekends.

This is the current set of rountines that i can plan, for any ad hocs assignments, we will go by the flows.

Looking forward to our Independence Day and hopefully, i can survive it... : )
