Once this 'sludge' reacts with the acid, it will break down and be absorbed by the intestine faster than the solid food. It will line the intestine. Very soon, this will turn into fats and lead to cancer. It is best to drink hot soup or warm water after a meal. Common

House Chores....Take it easy!

Most career women when asked...seem to have problem with their house chores..
"I've got no time to clean my house, I'm so tired to cook for my kids..I just buy them fast food..I have to pick up my laundry...."..and so....

Those who can afford to pay a maid to help will have no problem in settling the problem...but for those whose income do not allow them to hire a maid and whose house could not give space for a lived-in maid..will find the problem of doing the house chores...cleaning (sweeping, vacuuming, mopping), cooking, gardening, helping the kids with their school works....and the list will go on and on...

Let me share with you how I overcome the problem...

Though I had the experience of having a lived-in maid several times..I still make sure, I do certain house chores on my own..

Having a maid...I still..
a) cook...prepare meals for my kids and husband, I will wake up early to prepare my kids breakfast and food to be taken to school. I cook in the evening when I came back from work for the family dinner...and some will be saved for tomorrow's lunch (preheat by my maid..for my kids when they came back from school)

b) clean and wash ...I clean my own room and bathroom...my maid is not allowed to enter my room..I wash my own and my husband clothes...I fold my own and my husband clothes..even if my maid has already folded them..I will refold them..as I want them..according to my standard..my maid will only clean the other part of the house..and wash my kids' clothes (actually done by the machine)...I iron my own and my husband clothes...my maid only iron the kids' school uniform...and at time I iron them on my own...especially when I want them to be perfect...

c) gardening...I have my own herbal garden and maintain my house garden...I water the plant..I plant flowers and cut the grass and unwanted leaves on the garden's trees..both of us..(me and my hubby) love gardening so much....which we take it as our hobby...

d) spend quality time with the kids....I make sure...I check my kids' school work everyday...even through the phone...take time to set up a schedule for your kids...which you must make sure your kids follow it even when you are not around...

With all those...you might think that I am so demanding...and rigid at doing things...but the things is...you have to TAKE IT EASY!...Don't make it too hard for you..it is what actually make you always on the go..

Since my kids are already grown up now...the eldest is 14 years old and the youngest is 5 years old...things get much better...

With no maid...(I give the money which I paid to my maid before...as an allowance to my kids)...I have a handful help from my four kids...We share doing the house chores together...even my husband..(who is good at cooking and gardening)...lend their helping hand...as a motivation and appreciation..I am now giving a reasonable allowance to my kids.. (an amount which is good enough for them to buy their favourite story book and magazine)

I really enjoy doing the house chores with my family...indeed it makes our bonding better, our life happier and ourselves healthier...WHY? HOW?..because..you are actually exercising...without fail...with all the stretching and workout you get out of doing the house chores...you can dance while you are vacuuming/sweeping/mopping the house...you can plan a good and nutritious meal when you cook your own meal...you can sharpen your mind while helping out your kids with their school/college/university work (trust me.... a standard 1 science subject...is not the same..like we learnt it 25 years ago...)

No more worries...you can just try doing it at your own phase...make it as a wonderful thing to do..share it with your family...
