Signs your house help is not coming back

The holidays are finally over and everybody is nursing a certain holiday hangover. Apart from the Njaanuary blues, some working mamas are also dealing with another headache- their domestic managers did not return after the long holidays.

Lucky for me, my girl Mwende returned on Sunday, January 3 but after giving me a scare. She arrived at 9pm, which is unlike her. Normally, given the short distance she has to travel (Machakos-Nairobi), she normally arrives by noon but on that day she went against her usual script throwing me into panic because she was not picking up my calls.
