I'm so tired!

Josephina says, “I am so tired” “I have been cleaning all day”. Not really. Actually I’m the one that did all the cleaning. Josephina likes it when I clean. She follows me around the house when I'm cleanings. She stands next to me and says stuff like, “Make sure you get that corner.” “’ Make sure you clean in there.” “Ok go over that again.” “That’s good.” I remember when I was a child, Mom would clean the house from top to bottom while listening her favorite Connie Francis records. She loved music and she also loved to clean. She loved to cook too. Sometimes when I’m cooking she can tells me what to add to the pot. She would say, "not too much garlic" or "add some sazon." She enjoys doing her cleaning and cooking vicariously through me. When I’m done cooking and cleaning she then says “I am so tired”.

  1. Lol, I remember a couple years ago when a visitor would come and they would ask mom what she had done that day, she would tell them about all the cleaning she did.....no....but the visitor and I would look at each other and smile, acknowleding the private joke. The joke in itself was funny, the substance behind it not so much. Love hearing about your mom! Connie Francis, wow!
