Being a full time mom, dork, student, and employee has it’s set backs. For one when I get home at 12am from work, cleaning is not exactly on my immediate list of things to do. Once I’ve caught up on sleep and wake up to a 4 year old Chichi staring me down as if she watched me sleep all night, I’m in no rush to get the cleaning done. Don’t get me wrong, I am a very clean person. Pretty anal, in fact. But with Babes going to school and me going to school, it’s a bit hard to find the time without it being a ‘speed clean’. Still, I do try. It’s kind of hard not to when Chichi comes in and says:
Chichi: Mommy-o, Come here. Hurry! Hurry!
I follow her while she leads me, thinking that something is broken or even that the little miss nosey spotted two people doing God knows what outside her window. Fearing the worst, I brace myself. She guides me to the bathroom and points to the toilet.
Chichi: See, it’s got tough stains, Mommy.
*sigh*
It’s a huge deal for her to see one spot out of place or in a place it shouldn’t be. She’s a huge drama queen, but I can’t complain. They say your kids turn out 5 time worse then you were in the personality field which means, at one point of another, I was full of the dramatics as well. Luckily for me now, me and drama don’t quite get along anymore. Thank goodness for that. I’m glad to be rid of that relationship.
Anywho, the mini me hates tough stains and points them out. I normally say okay and that I will get them later. But I find if I don’t get them as soon as she points them out. She will never let me live it down until the deed is done. She will remind me as soon as she wakes up. She will remind me on the way to her school and 12pm and again as soon as I pick her up at 3pm. When I drop her off at the babysitter’s at 3:45pm and pick her up at midnight, she makes sure she reminds me two more times. Whether we are alone, in front of her teacher and other parents, or the babysitter, the words “Mommy, you still gonna get the tough toilet stains?” didn’t turn her face beat red or make her stutter like it did me. Lol. My lovely little child.
All in all, I guess the moral of this post it that when it comes to cleaning request from the little one, or even everything in my everyday life, I should JUST DO IT. Have a good one, readers!
