Reservist 09 - 24 Sep 2010

Time flies, my helper has completed her 2 years contract with me and it's time for her to go home. I'm glad that she has agreed to work another year with me.

I remembered 2-3 years ago, I have chatted with my Sir, no matter how good a domestic helper can be, I'm set to change once contract is completed. I do not mind to do the training all over again. This was a lesson learnt from my previous helper's experience. Initially, she has agreed to renew her contract for 2 years, however, her work attitude and performance has drastically changed after she came back from her home leave. I've endured for 6 months and planned to change her by the 9th month. Lucky me that she came to tell me she needs to go home at the 8th month.

My current helper, I'm happy with her performance and she had been really dedicated to us. I'm lucky and proud to have her in my family. I shall call her the SME - subject matter expert for my household. During her absence, I was totally exhausted managing the chores at home. She had done a good job for me.

I've sounded her out if she is keen to work for me beyond 1 year, she seems keen because she needs money to build her dream home. Is that good news for me? I hope so.

I've a long to-do list during her absence / my long leave, guess what, little were completed or should I say, mojority didn't really get started at all!!! I've big plan for scrapping, all are on my desk or brain. I wanted to revamp some of the cabinets and storage, only managed to do 1-2. Well, I managed to clear a "truck load" of clothing, educational materials and shoes for Claris. This girl is Irene church mate's daughter. They've 2 kids, Claris, 2 years old and a boy 7-8mths old, HB is working in the church and the sole-breadwinner.

This 18 days at home has proven 1 thing, I cannot be a SAHM (stay-at-home-mum), I'll become insane. Working is the only way to keep me sane and enjoy life better.
