Winding Creek Circle

Now that we are talking about going to the US, we always have had plans to migrate. It seems all our long-term plans are in the US, hence we arent even tied to anything here. We dont own a house, but I plan to buy one through the home loan program of the government by next year. It just seems such a waste of time to invest on something you will leave behind in one to three years. Anyways, if there are plans to migrate, of course, there are also plans as to where (which state) we will settle. As of this point, we are open - whoever actually has the best offer for my skills. We have relatives in California, Nevada, Chicago, Ohio and lately, a family or two has relocated to Colorado as they have acquired a sizeable chunk of Denver real estate that really is too good a deal to let go. They dont know anybody there so the move was a leap of faith. I honestly think they will survive though. We always do.

Back to house dreaming, I really prefer a house over a condo unit. I want a garden, a huge backyard for my kids to play in and space for party entertaining. I prefer the suburbs - I want a quiet neighborhood. I want to have a settled home by the time I reach 40. I want to give my kids that kind of security - something I never had as a child.

Im a mother. First and foremost. That means I love being a mom and not the housework that go with it.

We have been without a maid since January and we are now into March and thankfully, we are still surviving. I cant say we are are thriving though, just really trying to stay afloat. I just realized that without the maids, my kids, most especially my seven-year-old is really helpless. He leaves his clothes, his things where he thinks he is most likely to find them. He misplaces everything and is very very whiny with every single chore I let him do. Something needs to change soon I know.

I get my boys excited to pitch in by challenging them to the “ten minute tidy.” I set a timer, and we race around the house picking up as much as we can before the buzzer goes off. My kids have so much fun that they don’t even realize they’re cleaning. — Melissa, mother of two
