On Mothers Day 2009

She washed all the dirty clothes in the family. She mopped the floors after sweeping every nook and corner of the house. She then fetched water and watered the flowers in the garden and in flower pots. By the time she could barely finished the household chores, it was already evening. She had to go to pick up her children from school. The kids complained of hunger and thirst. She had to feed them again.

It was already dusk and she had to prepare for dinner. Just then, her husband arrived from office tired and demanded some nursing. She bathed the kids, helped them revised their lesson. She arranged dinner and did the dishes as done in the brunch. By the time the domestic chores of the day were partially over, it was already time for bed.
