As of 09 June 2009, I am officially maid-less. We terminated our "super-efficient" helper for the reasons that are just too painful to elaborate heheheh... Did I manage to make it sound so dramatic? We actually terminated her at the end of May. So reinforcement had to be called to watch over Iqie and Afeeq. Thank god for Mums...
My Mum came for the first shift... taking care of Iqie and Afeeq for 3 days. Then the second shift reported for duty from Thursday onwards. We sent my Mum-in-law back yesterday.
I was a bit skeptical about not having any helper at all after being pampered by the luxury of not having to do anything much around the house. Well... except for the weekends where the helper didn't come and I had to do everything. My worst fear was the cleanliness of the household. I now have developed the "allergy" to messy and dirty house... hehehe. See... I told you I was pampered!
To make things worst, my vacuum cleaner was broken. I don't know what was wrong with it but it refused to work at all. So, almost immediately after terminating our helper, I practically dashed to Carrefour and bought one, plus a new mop (the one that uses sponges). So, I was like slaving myself at 8 am hovering and mopping the whole house while Iqie and Afeeq was watching in amazement.
Then, my attempt to have the whole wardrobe pressed was cut short because the iron refused to be slaved by me after 2 shirts. It short circuited the whole house!! Again, I dashed to (this time not Carrefour anymore) Best Denki in KLCC during work to buy a new one. I ended up with an iron and a new hair dryer (they call it hair styler!) that uses hair brush to dry and style your hair ;)
Today, after feeding Afeeq dinner, I hovered the whole house again. My feet just can't stand the dust on the floor (Hubby said that I'm a freak, but what does he know about all these!). And at 2 am, I took out the mop and did the whole house! The feeling of clean floor under your feet and the fresh smell of it are priceless... I wonder how long I can actually stand doing all these at odd hours ;)
