If You Can't Handle the Little Things...



Living in California is a privilege.  Prices are steep.  Sales Tax is a joke.  Renting is unreal.  Buying a house is the same thing.  Traffic is alright compared to Manila.  Nonetheless, everyone MUST work every week to be able to care for themselves and the their loved ones.

There are no maids for us, middle class, people here in the States.  This simply means that if I leave the house without fixing my bed, it will still be as it was when I get home in the evening.  So in order for my household to run smoothly every day, tasks and responsibilities are assigned to members of the household. 

Someone's in charge of throwing out the trash, washing the dishes, cleaning the house, etc...  but with regard to filling up the pitcher of water, whoever "kinda" finishes the water MUST fill it up. 

Anyway, I come home after a long day at work, thirsty and wanting a drink, only to find out that there is no more water in the pitcher!  This is a sad day in the Arespacochaga household.

You see, if you can't be consistent with the little things, how can you be entrusted with the bigger ones?
