Our family maid left us last Sunday to visit her terminally ill mom in Indonesia. We let her go for a month. Whether she will return or not, only God knows. We have nothing to hold her back because she just worked for us for 8 months. Anyway, this is not the first time, I am maidless. I had it tougher when I only have 4 children coz at that time, I do not have a single helper. Not even my mom. This time, I still have MIL, SIL and BIL with me. Even though they are not well (both just after surgery), they helped a lot in keeping an eye on my children when I am busy with housework and homework (my children’s).
The first 3 days was very tough for me. I almost broke down but thank God, He strengthen me. With only 4 hours of sleep on Sunday, followed by 5 hours on Monday and finally I got my 6 hours on Tuesday, I almost fall sick due to lack of sleep. When I need my husband the most, he is always not there. Why lar? I am not a superwoman you know. A thought came to my mind; will it be easier if we look for mobile homes for sale, buy one and stay in it? Less space, minimal cleaning. With 5 kids, I think we will suffocate. 
Stumble it!
