New Era of maids has come in my house... My senior maid finally quit working here after 3,5 years. Last night we got a phone call from her kampung (village?), telling her to come home because her mom is seriously ill of heart (not attacked yet though hehe). They can't give me certainty how long she can be back here again, so I think I better let her go. What I need is certainty.. she can't give me so I will look for the new one then. That simple. I told her to bring all her belongings, she was quite surprise. May be she thought I would try to keep her but I didn't. WHY?! Am I a cruel employer? :-)
Of course not... I do care for her, I pray for her often, I pray for her mom health as well... but it's just enough she played with my heart... she has been 'threaten' me several time, told me she wanted to quit... several time I feel insecure about her, no certainty... Last week I actually got 2 new maids (sisters), my hubby told me to fire her but I didn't do that. I asked her certainty, whether or not she will work for me until the next Aidul Fitri and she said yes. So I gave one of the new maid to my friend, and I took one to work here... after a week.. she finally quits! She really can't keep her words!
Now I am busy... I have some post assignments to complete, I have to train my new maid and look for another new one to accompany her, have to cook and take care the children as well... but I am much better! I am relaxed! Really... I can let go and start things all over again... No fret, no regrets, no complaints, just goes on...
I try to make things simple and happy, including make sure my bills are paid by auto debet, bills of home telephone, handphone, electricity, mortgage life insurance, life insurance, credit cards, internet and tv cable! My hubby is not home from 7.30 AM until around 9 PM, so I have to manage almost all houseworks by myself... I find some time to write this to tell you all, because may be I can't visit you again so often...but please don't leave me and forget me. :-)

Leave you and forget you? How? HOW? Cannot! :-)
I am glad you have your peace of mind now that it's a new beginning for your maid/s.. So stressful when there's so much uncertainty.
LB.. I am so touched by this comment! Thank you very much!!!
Oh Trin! how can I ever forget or leave you! The very idea makes me feel so bad. I totally understand what you are going through. It's tough handling everything on your own and you have done a fantastic job. I'm sure your hubby feel the same way too
Don't worry abt bloghopping. I'm sure ur true friends would understand.. hang in there ok.. and may God give you his helping hand :)
Love and hugs

Glad to hear you can let go and you're relaxed. GOOD LUCK in training the new maids! ;-D
aww, u made me feel so bad, I haven't visited your blog or comment on it for a long time. But honestly, I didn't forget about you or will leave you. My honest truth. You write good blogs, no kidding, it's just me, sometimes I do get lazy or procastinate or just obviously very busy. My munchkin drives me up the wall everyday...wanna just don't do nothing like cleaning up his mess and let him be dirty and messy..hahah. Perhaps one day I will do that...
