I guess I can
understand my mom’s frustration. Everyone in our house has busy schedules and
we are hardly ever home so how does the house even get so messy? There are very
few nights during the week where there is more than one person at home at a
time. We are all involved in several different activities. Mom is usually
running me somewhere since I don't have my driver’s license yet. My brother is
in college and is always running back and forth to Mount Mercy for classes,
choir or baseball practices and games. My dad is busy managing the horse ranch
which means he is always on the run to the vet or taking a piece of machinery
to the mechanics. I have a job, volunteer work and show choir. So everyone is
usually not even home.
What that means is
that Saturday morning is the only time most weeks where we are all in the
house. She wakes us up early to help her before we all scoot for the day.
Usually it doesn't take too long but it's a real pain in the butt when I want
to stay in bed and sleep a little longer because I had to work late the night
before and get up every morning at 5:30 during the week.
She calls us from downstairs and it sounds like a siren
going off! We always tell her just one more hour but it never works because she
knows if she waits we will leave because we have plans. I can hear my brother
across the hall way complaining too. Neither one of us are excited about
getting up this morning but living in our house means that it is all of our
jobs to maintain it. Not the most ideal thing for us at this age but I guess
it's preparing us for the future.
So what do you do? Get up and clean messes that sometimes
aren’t even yours and take all day to do, when we have other stuff to do, or
find a way around it. I think I'll get a maid!!(423)
