I feel disappointed and let down by my maid. We had good relations and there was no reason for her to leave so abruptly. Even, if she did not want to continue with her contract, the least she could do is to tell us about it. We would have understood, if it was something that her family wanted for example.
That is the thing about hiring maids. We form human relations with them and that is one of the reasons why I am not getting a new maid and considering getting a dishwasher instead. At least a dish washer won't let you down. If it breaks down, you just send it to the repair shop.
If you have a maid, you can read my post on my personal blog to find out What To Do When Your Maid Does Not Return From Her Holiday. It will certainly help to be prepared.

Let Down
My Parenting Blog Deleted
My Parenting Blog was deleted for spam and is currently under review. My blog is not spam. It is a Parenting Blog that has been online for 8 years. I wonder what triggered this, maybe my account was compromised in some way.
Before the deletion, I had problems using google on my handphone. It kept on asking me for my password but when I keyed in my password, it kept on saying it was the wrong password. So I used my desktop to enter the password and I vaguely remember, I had to request for a code to be sent to my handphone twice before I could enter my account.
After that, I found only 1 blog on my dashboard out of my 5 blogs. Yes, I have 5 but 1 of them is dormant at the moment and not made public. Anyway, I managed to quickly restore 2 more blogs. I can't remember how I did it. However, 1 more blog which was marked as deleted could not be restored. I had to fill up a form to request for it to be reviewed and restored.
After 2 days and still no news, I decided to post in Google groups to see if the process could be expedited. I really hope to get my blog back.
It is a diary of my kids activities, the crafts we did, the education issues we face and more. I always use google search to search for an event in our lives when I can't remember it and now its gone in its entirety and I can't access any of my posts. I want my posts back. They are my diary and that is what a blog is after all isn't it? A blog is an online diary. Only, the danger of an online diary compared to a pen and paper one is, the online diary can disappear overnight without warning.
I really hope to get my blog back soon. I feel so sad to see it gone.
Updated: My blog was restored after I posted in the Blogger Forum but after 6 days it was deleted again! I feel like pulling my hair out!

Anyway, here is a list of the household chores which I hate the most in the order in which they appear. What are yours?
- washing the toilet

Free Baby Products
There is no such thing as a free lunch ... or is there? In fact, there is and I'm talking about free baby products. Did you know that you can get free baby stuff online? Yes, there are many companies which are giving out free baby samples such as free baby bottles, free baby diapers (and we all know how expensive diapers can be), free baby cribs and more.
How do you get hold of free baby stuff? One way is to register yourself with an online company that works with baby product sponsors so that you can be notified whenever there are free baby stuff available. Caring for babies is expensive. There are so many things a baby needs.
In fact, you should start planning and saving for baby as soon as you are pregnant. Apart from free baby products, another way to save is to accept hand me downs from friends and relatives. Never be too shy or too proud to ask for hand me downs. Babies grow really quickly and quite often most of the second hand items you receive for baby are still new and useful. These are just some of the ways to save when you start having a family of your own.
