As I am typing this post, my helper of 4.5 years has just stepped out of the door and will be back for good. She was given a day’s off yesterday to do sight-seeing and to do some last minute shopping. I think I can cope without a maid BUT heavy cooking must be dropped. If I cook, I can only afford to do steamed dishes with minimal preparation and cleaning up. Yesterday I tried to be gungho and wanted to see if I could cook twice a day. I cooked mac and cheese for lunch and a proper dinner. I think I can’t handle it and ended up feeling very stressed up. I have also developed a very bad backache as a result of carrying buckets of water. Read why I am carrying bucketfulls of water in my other blog.
On recommendation of Alycia and Sher’s art teacher, I am trying home delivered catered food from Tammy’s Catering effective today. Am keeping my fingers crossed that the dishes are acceptable. Without a helper at home, I have to keep both my eyes closed to cleanliness and set my priorities right. Only do what is absolutely necessary and what is important. Time is of essence and being a WFHM, I can only do this much.
Though the helper has made me raging with anger with her actions and words countless times throughout her 4.5 years with us, she has nonetheless been a hardworking helper. As much as I hated her yakking rubbish away for 4.5 years (she is the type who just has to yak all day on top of her voice and ‘step-mother’ the kids around), I think I somewhat miss that lady. I hope that she will reach home safely.
