Disposing

Often we accumulate so many things at house. I particularly feel that everything will be of some use at some point of time. So I never throw anything out into the dustbin so easily and on many occasions I have found that these petty things which I had stocked have come handy really. So I became even a bigger fan to store the so called utility items which are actually fit to reside only in the dustbin. When my daughter asks for a bird sticker, I take out the ones that I used in school. I am not exaggerating, it is very true that I still have items which are 20 years old. One day myself was so bugged with this big mess that i had created for myself, that I just threw away boxes and boxes of things without even looking what was in it. I feel things which we do not use for more than 6 months will not definitely be useful to us down the lane also. Hence to maintain a clutter free environment at home, disposing the items we do not need is a big work in itself and needs to be done every week. This should also be done weekly just as we do purchases every week. If we follow this mantra, we can have a home really sweet and tidy.

What drives my career

I always wonder what drives me to work. I do not have very big dreams in my professional career. But is it wrong for women who is a wife and mother of two to have professional aspirations. When ever I miss a small chore at work due to the demands of my profession, I am being labeled as selfish. Earlier I also felt that it was selfishness if I were to attend to my profession without attending the regular house hold chores. And I have struggled my maximum to ensure that I do not miss out on anything at home, even if meant taking a career beating. But now I wonder, as and more I sacrifice the more and more is expected out of me.My profession is not taken seriously by anyone except me.Is there something fundamentally wrong. Is the wrong with me or with people around me. Or is this called the mid career crisis? I am yet to decipher this. But now a days I feel more stressed out and more exhausted as expectations have increased from all corners, hubby feels he is into senior position so he cannot attend to anything at home, parents feel they have grown old and expect me to attend to many things, children feel they need more attention from me, my profession expects more from me, but is there somebody around who really feels and knows what I am going thorough...Yes I can hear the god whisper to me in my dreams and say.. go on I am there with you.
