UMMI

*

Tangan ummi tidak sehalus
Tangan ummi berpeta kasih sayang
Tangan ummi setiap gurisan
Tangan ummi penoh pengorbanan

Tangan ummi di pagi hari ku
Tangan ummi memipin ku
Tangan ummi memayungi ku
Tangan ummi melindungi ku
Tangan ummi mendakap ku
Tangan ummi memahami ku
Tangan ummi membelai ku
Tangan ummi menerangi hati ku
Tangan ummi menyirami hidup ku
Tangan ummi menyapu air mata ku
Tangan ummi melihat ketakutan ku
Tangan ummi ada Rahmah buat ku
Tangan ummi membawa rezeki ku
Tangan ummi memberi untuk ku
Tangan ummi tidak mengambil dari ku
Tangan ummi sentiasa mendoakan ku

Ummi, ku cium tangan mu,

Jagan kau nafikan buatku tangan mu,
Ku lihat Syurga di telapak tangan mu,
Biar ku berkubur di tangan mu,

Ummi……

" To stop nighttime coughing in a child (or adult as we found out personally), put Vicks Vaporub generously on the bottom of the feet at bedtime then cover with socks. Even persistent, heavy, deep coughing will stop in about 5 minutes and; stay stopped for many, many ours of relief. Works 100% of the time and is more effective in children than even very strong prescriptions cough medicines. In addition it is extremely soothing and comforting and they will sleep soundly. I heard the head of the Canada Research Council describe these findings; on behalf of their scientists when they were investigating the effectiveness and usage of prescription cough medicines in children ascompared to alternative therapies like accupressure.

I just happened to tune in A.M. Radio and picked up this guy talking about why cough medicines in kids; often do more harm than good due to the chemical makeup of these strong; drugs so, I listened. It was a surprising finding and found to be more effective than prescribed medicines for children at bedtime, and in addition, it has a soothing and calming effect on sick children who then went on to sleep soundly. Lolly tried it on herself when she had a very deep constant and persistent cough a few weeks ago and it worked 100%! She said that it felt like a warm blanket had enveloped her. Her coughing stopped in a few minutes and believe me, this was a deep,( incredibly annoying!) every few seconds uncontrollable cough, and she slept cough free for hours every night that she used it. So, if you have children, pass it on, if you end up sick, try it yourself and you will be absolutely amazed by the effect. "

Alhamdullillah, for me - if I cough persistently, I found that a teaspoon of good honey with a few drops of lemon, plus "Selawat" and "Bismillah", always help... Wallahu'alam

How Much am I Worth ??

(Reuters) --
When Tricia Himawan was a financial analyst, she worked 50 hours a week and earned about $75,000 a year.
Now, she works, by her estimation, about 119 hours a week doing 11 different jobs, and, for 10 of them, she makes ... nothing !!

"I work nonstop as a mother," says Himawan, of West Orange, New Jersey, as she breast-feeds her nine-month-old son Jonas and watches over 4-year-old Juliana.

If she were paid for her work as a mother, she would be earning almost $140,000 a year.

That is the conclusion of research conducted by Salary.com, a firm based in Waltham, Massachusetts, that specializes in determining compensation. Himawan was one of 40,000 mothers who responded online to Salary.com explaining what their job entailed and how many hours they worked. (Book urges mothers to stay in work force)

The typical mother puts in a 92-hour work week, the company concluded, and works at least 10 jobs. In order of hours spent on them per week, these are: housekeeper, day-care center teacher, cook, computer operator, laundry machine operator, janitor, facilities manager, van driver, chief executive officer and psychologist. By figuring out the median salaries for each position, and calculating the average number of hours worked at each, the firm came up with $138,095 -- three percent higher than last year's results.

Even mothers who work full-time jobs outside the home put in $85,939 worth of work as mothers, according to Salary.com.

"My work is my family right now, and my backbone is about to break," says Himawan, who now also works at home as a real-estate broker."My baby is on my hip 24 hours a day."
