"Milo! Don't run around the kitchen." I said running after my 5 year old son.
"Markie, can you please be a darling and put those lunch boxes in everyone's bags." I told my 7 year old who just finished his breakfast. He stood up and went towards the kitchen island where the lunch boxes were placed. I caught Milo and combed his hairs before helping him with his shoes.
" Mom, can you please braid my hair?" my 7 year old daughter and markie's twin Mackenzie asked. I nodded and started braiding her hair.
" Tessa! Have you seen my watch?" I heard my husband, Sam yelling from our bedroom. I quickly finished braiding mackenzie's hair and walked towards my bedroom.
I saw him sitting on the bed putting his shoes on. I opened the drawer, took out his watch and gave it to him. He looked up and smiled. I hurried towards the living room to see Markie helping Milo putting his school bag on. I helped MacKenzie with her bag.
" Have a good day!" I said kissing my children one by one. My husband kissed me on the forehead and went out with the kids.
I sighed and looked around the house. I gathered the cleaning supplies, tied my hairs in a messy bun and started cleaning the house.
Hello! I'm Tessa. I'm 27 years old, married to the love of my life Sam at the age of 20 and now we have 3 children. That has become my daily routine now. I wake up at 6am to make lunch for the kids. Then wake everyone up at 7:30 am. I help them get ready and send them with their father who drop them to their school before going to office. After sending them out of the house, I clean around the house, do the laundry, change the bedsheets etc. I take a 1 hour nap before kids come back from school.
I took a quick shower after I woke up and throw on some sweatpants and a t-shirt. I heard a honk. I hurried towards the door and opened it. I saw my kids getting off the school bus. I walked quickly and helped Milo down the bus.
"Mom! Guess what?! Maira said...." Mackenzie started telling me about her day as we walked towards the door.
They changed their clothes and took a nap. After waking up, I made them do their home work. Then they took out their toys and the house became a war zone. I made dinner and looked at the time, it was 7 o'clock in the evening. The children watched their favorite cartoon for an hour, ate their dinner, brush their teeth and changed into their pjs. I read them a bedtime story and tucked them in bed. By 8:30 pm they were asleep.
I quietly got out of their room and sighed. I tidied up the war zone, I mean the living room and heated up the food for myself and Sam. I was setting up the table when I heard the door bell ring. I opened the door and let Sam in. He went to the washroom to freshen up and I finished setting the table.
"so what's for dinner?" he asked as he sat down on the chair. I served him food and fill my plate as well. He smiled at me and I smiled back at him tiredly.
We ate in silence. He thanked me after eating and went towards our room. I cleaned the table, did the dishes and took out trash. I went to the room and changed my clothes. I laid down in bed and felt him moving closer.
"long day?" He asked and I sighed.
"when is it not? " I said. He chuckled and I smiled. He started massaging my back and I relaxed into his touch.
"Go to sleep, baby " he whispered. I felt him kissing my hair as I fell asleep.
I groaned as I heard my alarm ringing. I quickly shut it before it wake Sam up. I turned around in his embrace and kissed him on the cheek. I quietly got out of bed and went towards the bathroom. I was brushing my teeth when I looked myself in the mirror, Actually looked at myself. My eyes looked dull, my hair were in a messy bun like always, my skin felt dry and there were hairs growing on my legs.
