McKenzie Cordell / Twenty20Phambi kokuzalwa komntwana wam wokuqala, uRamona, ndachitha bonke ubomi bam bomntu omdala ndisebenza ukuze ndihlawule amatyala. Ndandiyithanda imisebenzi yam (u-barista, umncedisi wobuqu, umhleli wekopi), kodwa ndandingekayithathi indlela yomsebenzi, ngoko andizange ndisokole ngesigqibo sokuyeka ukusebenza ukuze ndibe ngumama wekhaya. Ingxaki yavela xa ndafumanisa ukuba zininzi kangakanani iimfuno kunye nendlela encinci yesakhiwo esiza nesikhundla sam esitsha sokuba ngumzali. Yayininzi into ekwakufuneka ndiyenze, kodwa ndenza okuncinane kakhulu kuba ndandisonganyelwa kukuba ngumphathi wam. Mna noRamona siye saqhelana ekugqibeleni, kodwa akuzange kube de ndibe nomntwana wam wesibini, u-Oscar, apho ndahlala phantsi ndaza neshedyuli yemihla ngemihla eneenkcukacha, eyayisindisi ubomi, kwaye isenjalo.
Ngoku akukho mfuneko yokuba ndibeke izinto ezibalulekileyo kum kwisiseko seyure ukuya kwiyure. Ndibakhe kuhambo lwam kwaye ndiziva njengomntu oqhelekileyo kwakhona-kwaye onemveliso yokuqalisa.
Nantsi indlela ishedyuli yam yokuhlala-ekhaya-umama ibonakala ngayo. Jonga, kwaye nceda ungajongi ubungakanani bewayini yam yokugalela.
Ishedyuli yokuhlala-ekhaya-umama
7:00 a.m.: Vuka
Andiphakami phambi kwabantwana kuba andikhe ndiphumle ngokwaneleyo ukuba ndibe yibheya elangazelelayo. Ngaphandle koko, ndihlala ndithembela kubo ukuba bandivuse ngaphambi kokuba ialarm yam yokwenyani ikhale. Ngezinye iintsasa, umyeni wam uya emsebenzini kwangethuba. Abanye, usekhaya kunye nam ndilungiselela abantwana, kwaye kulula kakhulu xa kukho inani elilinganayo labantu abadala kunye nabantwana.
7:15 a.m.: Isidlo sakusasa kubo (Ikofu kum)
Ndidla ngokwenza iiwaffles ezikhenkcezisiweyo okanye iyogathi , kunye neziqhamo ezitsha. Kanye ngeveki ndenza i-oatmeal eyenziwe ngentsimbi ebusuku-ichitha ixesha elininzi kwiintsasa zethu ezixakekileyo-kwaye ndibanike oko kangangeentsuku ezimbalwa ngeetoppings ezahlukeneyo zokutshintsha izinto.
*Ukuba ndilala nge-alam yefowuni yam kwaye iiwotshi zam zomntu azifiki, isidlo sakusasa ngumdlalo ophakamileyo wokuba Ngubani onokutya iFrosted Mini Wheats ngokukhawuleza? ibanjwe ngusajini osebenza nzima. (Er, ndiyadlala. Andizange ndilale kakhulu, abantwana bam abazange batye i-crappy cubes yeswekile kwisidlo sakusasa kwaye ndihlala ndikutyhafisa ukutya ngokukhawuleza!)
7:30 a.m.: Ukunxiba
Umntwana wam oneminyaka emi-4 uzimele kakuhle apha ngaphambili, ndiye ndamkhomba kwicala lesinxibo esisikhethe kubusuku obudlulileyo ngelixa ndihlamba imizuzu esixhenxe. Ndigcina ucango lwegumbi lokuhlambela luvuliwe ukuze ndiqhubeke nokukhupha imiyalelo emva kwekhethini yeshawa.
Nje ukuba ndiqinisekise ukuba uRamona akanxibanga isuti yokuhlamba kunye/okanye isinxibo sakudala se-Halloween, ndikhupha izihlangu zakhe kunye neekawusi, kwaye uyazinxiba ngelixa ndibuyela kwigumbi lokuhlambela ukuze ndifumane i-make-up ekhawulezayo. Ukugcina umntwana oselula ukuba angabi nomdla kwisiseko sam, ndidla ngokuza neendawo ezimbalwa ezahlukeneyo kwigumbi apho kukho umlilo ozenza ngathi uvutha kwaye uyahamba ngebhayisikili yakhe (injini yomlilo) ukuyicima.
Eyona nto inzima ekuseni kuxa kufuneka ndinxibe uOscar. Ndiqala ngokuzama ukwalathisa ibali lokuhlangula ukuze axhome umnqwazi wakhe womcimi-mlilo ngemvakalelo yokuvala...kodwa ngamanye amaxesha kuye kufuneke ndibhenele kumdlalo womlo. (Ukuba umyeni wam usekhaya, oku kulula kakhulu, kuba u-Oscar unokuhlala kwiipjama zakhe kwaye umzali omnye unokuthatha uRamona ukuya kwangaphambi kwe-K.) Emva koko kungene kwimpahla yasebusika kunye nomnyango.
8:40 a.m.: Ukuyeka Isikolo
Sikhwela ibhasi yesixeko kunye (ukuba u-Oscar usendleleni, ndimnxiba kwisithuthi) kwaye emva koko ndothula uRamona kwigumbi lakhe lokufundela kwaye ndiwele iminwe yam akalibalanga. (I-Goodbyes inzima kakhulu xa ungena kwigumbi eligcwele abantwana abaye bakhona, wenze oko.)
9:15 a.m.: Umsebenzi wasekhaya kunye nokuPhumla
Emva kokuba uRamona eye esikolweni samabanga aphantsi, mna no-Oscar sibuyela ngqo kwisiseko sasekhaya. Ndimnika isiqhamo ukuba atye kwaye ndimvumele abukele umboniso-into engakhuthazi kakhulu kuba wonke umntu uziva engcono xa ixesha lesikrini liphela ngaphandle komzabalazo ophambeneyo kunye nokuphelelwa lithemba. Emva kwesiqendu esinye, ndicima iTV kwaye u-Oscar uqhubela phambili kumdlalo wasimahla. Uzimele ngokwaneleyo ukuba akufuneki ndidlale, okoko nje ndithetha ngomlomo. Ke ndisebenza njengombalisi (ngamanye amaxesha umsasazi wezemidlalo) ngelixa ndisenza umsebenzi osisiseko wasekhaya. Ndilungisa indawo yokuhlamba, ndihlambe izitya zakusasa kwaye ndiqokelele i-crap engacwangciswanga kuzo zonke iikona zendlu yethu-kubandakanya kodwa kungaphelelanga kwishumi elinesibini leekawusi ezithunyelwe nguRamona ebhabha njengoko wayezinxiba ngokuzidla. Ndigcina ivacuum okokugqibela kuba uOscar uyakuyeka yonke into ukunceda kuloo nto.
10:30 a.m.: Ukuya Phandle ukwenza uMsebenzi
Emva kokuba u-Oscar eneyure yokudlala yangaphakathi, akaphumli kancinci. Kwaye emva kokuba ndichithe ixesha elifanayo ndisenza imisebenzi emincinci ejikeleze ikhaya, ndiye ndakhululeka kancinci-ndanele ukuba ndiphume kwakhona. Ngethamsanqa, sobabini sele sinxibe.
Ndiphosa impahla yokuhlamba xa siphuma ngomnyango kwaye saya kwibala lokudlala, kuba ndiyamdinga kakuhle kwaye ndidiniwe kwixesha lokulala. Ubaleka edlakadlaka apho kangangemizuzu engama-45 emva koko saya kufika kwivenkile yokutya eselumelwaneni.
*Inyaniso: Ndiyakuphepha ukuthenga kakhulu kunye nabantwana bam ngazo zonke iindleko kwaye ndizame ukwenza igrosari enkulu xa umyeni wam esekhaya, nokuba kuthetha ukuhamba ebusuku. Ukuthenga kwam kwemihla ngemihla kuyakhawuleza kwaye kuqulethe izinto ezimbalwa kuphela, njengemveliso ndifuna izithako ezitsha nezingaqhelekanga zeresiphi endingenazo esandleni.
12 iphe .m.: Yitya isidlo sasemini
Xa singena, ndajula iwashing kwi dryer ndenza inyani isidlo sasemini esilula ngenxa yethu sobabini. Ngamanye amaxesha kuninzi kwe-brunch yamaqanda aqhekekileyo kunye nesoseji, okanye mhlawumbi isidlo sasemini esishushu, njenge-turkey kunye ne-cheese quesadilla enezilayi zeavokhado. Rhoqo sisitya esibandayo se-snack turkey, iipretzels, i-hummus kunye nezilayi ze-apile kuba bendiphelelwe lixesha lokupheka ... kwaye njengoko nawuphi na umama esazi, Nap ingcwele .
12:30 p .m.: Ixesha leNap
Ukulala kuka-Oscar emini kwasemini kuthatha malunga neeyure ezimbini. Ndinikela iyure enye ekubeni ngumntu (oko kukuthi, andizilinganisi ngemveliso yam). Andikwazi ukuthatha i-naps ngokwam, kodwa ndingenza ukuba ndikwazi. Endaweni yoko, nditsibela esofeni kwaye ndijonge kwifowuni yam-okanye ndingafumana into enoveli ngokwenene, njengokubeka imaski yobuso okanye ukuchola incwadi (!).
Isiqingatha sesibini sexesha lokulala ndizinikela ekuhlambeni izitya zesidlo sasemini kunye nokuseta isidlo sam sakusihlwa ukusekwa . Kulungile, andizange ndisebenzise igama ukusekwa ngobuso obuthe ngqo, kwaye ndenza kuphela into entsonkothileyo ngokwaneleyo ukuyiqinisekisa mhlawumbi kabini ngeveki. Ngamaxesha amaninzi, imenyu yam yesidlo sangokuhlwa isempilweni, ilula kwaye ayinamabhongo ngokuphawulekayo. Xa ndingenaxesha lokutya epleyitini yam, ndiqhubeleka ndisonga impahla de...
2:20 p .m.: Vuka kwaye ulande isikolo
Ndizama ukuvumela u-Oscar alale de kube ngumzuzu wokugqibela kuba kulula ukunxiba izihlangu zakhe xa edidekile. Ndithathele igranola ukuba atye endleleni, emva koko siye kulanda udade wabo.
3:10 p.m.: Umoya Wasemva Kwesikolo
URamona akalali esikolweni sakhe sabasaqalayo, xa efika ekhaya udiniwe. Ndenza i I-snack elula kwaye bavumele babukele isiqendu esinye somboniso ozolileyo ngelixa ndibeka impahla yokuhlamba. Emva kwekhefu elifutshane likamabonwakude, ndijoyina abantwana ngexesha lokudlala elisemgangathweni-iipuzzle, iinqaba, iingoma zikaloliwe kunye nobugcisa zizinto ezimbalwa endizithandayo.
5:15 p .m.: Pheka ukutya
Ngeli xesha, ndiye ndaphuma egumbini ndiyokwenza isidlo sangokuhlwa (kwaye ndizigalele iglasi yewayini elingana neTony Soprano). Ezinye zeendlela zam zokupheka zinkukhu kunye ne-spaghetti ngeetumato ze-cherry, kunye ne-lentils kunye ne-sausage yase-Italian.
6 p .m.: Isidlo sangokuhlwa kunye nexesha lokuhlambela
Ngamanye amaxesha umyeni wam uba sekhaya ngexesha lesidlo sangokuhlwa kunye nenkqubo yesiqhelo yokulala, kwaye ngobunye ubusuku uyasebenza kude kube semva kokuba abantwana bephumile. (Ndizigcinela ezo zidlo zintsonkothileyo zobusuku xa kukho omnye umntu omdala oza kuzinandipha.) Enoba kunjani na, wonk’ ubani osekhaya uhlala phantsi ukuze atye kunye. Sithetha ngomhla wethu kunye netyala elibi lokutya okuchukumisa okunye ukutya. Ngokungafaniyo nabantwana bam, ndingumntu otyayo osebenzayo, ke xa ndigqibile, ndiye ndizithethelele ukuba ndiqhube ukuhlamba ngelixa beqhubeka nokutyhala izinto kwiipleyiti zabo. Emva kokuhlamba kwabo, sixubha amazinyo kwaye sinxibe iipajama.
7 p .m.: Ukudlala okuzolileyo, ukucoca kunye nexesha lokulala
Ndibavumela bobabini abantwana badlale kancinci phambi kokuba ndibenze bancedise ukubeka izinto zokudlala. Ngobunye ubusuku luncedo ngokwenene; Ngobunye ubusuku ngamnye wenza isijekulo esinye kwaye ndiyayivuma loo nto. Sigqibezela ngamabali kwaye wonke umntu watsibela ebhedini ukuze afumane iingoma. (URamona uhlala elala ngoncedo lwemizuzu eyi-15 yokucamngca endiyidlalelayo kwifowuni yam.)
8:30 p .m.: Coca
Ngoku abantwana bobabini balele, ndihlamba izitya zesidlo sangokuhlwa kwaye ndicoce ikhitshi phantsi. Nje ukuba loo nto ithathelwe ingqalelo, lixesha lokulungiselela ingomso. Ndipakisha i-snack yesikolo sikaRamona kwaye ndihambisa iprotheni ukusuka efrijini ukuya efrijini, apho inyibilika kwisidlo sethu sakusihlwa esilandelayo.
9 p .m.: Relax (okanye Bhala)
Ngaphezulu kwemisebenzi yam ye-SAHM, ndikwangumbhali osebenza ngokuzimeleyo, ngoko ke ndibekela iingokuhlwa zokusebenza. Kodwa ngobusuku ndingekho ngomhla wokugqibela, ndizipholela kwiiyure ezimbalwa zokuphumla kunye nokuphumla nomyeni wam ngaphambi kokuba ndilale ... kwaye ndivuke ndiyenze yonke into kwakhona ekuseni.
