Because of the flash flood that happened look here, we (namely my mom and kisha)  had to stay at my brother’s apartment. The house is all messy and muddy. I so wanna go home and sleep in my bed…i miss my bed sooooo bad.

I would want to help the cleaning so i could go home sooner but my mom is scared that if i would clean i would throw out so much of the old things that i’d consider as “junk”…my mom likes to hoard things…there’s this one room downstairs that haven’t been cleaned in like a decade and I’m serious, it’s filled with dust and more dust, it’s where my mom keeps her things, and Kisha’s and my older brother’s too but all mixed up. Aside from the old used notebooks, their clothes, old clothes, old shoes, my mom’s too old fabric scraps from sewing (she won’t let me throw it, she wants to make something out of it and I’m like when? it’s been lying in the room since i was in high school!) and who knows what else was there hidden under the bed. It even scared me staying long in that room, there might be insects and disgusting little animals living in it. I want to clean it so bad and i would need some help in cleaning, I would not know where to start, that’s just how dirty and dusty it is. That’s why I always fought and argued with my mom about it (even more so now and i would just try to shut up or else i would end up the bad one), i want to clean it, tidy it up, organize things and throw stuff that really needs to be thrown out. It’s crowding the room and plus they could use that room for sleeping rather than sleeping on our living room floor. I feel sad and mad about it. I just want it to be clean and organized….no one wants to live in a house that’s so dirty and dusty.

So with all the thick mud from the flash flood it made it EVEN MORE difficult and a pain in the ass to clean it. *sigh*

But on the lighter note and don’t get me wrong i still have a lot to be thankful for, i still have a house and no one was harmed in my family…others even lost their houses, some were missing and some were dead. My dearest sympathy goes out to them.

I should go to bed, I’m tired…nighty night!

God Bless!
