All in a days work

My baby's nanny didn't come the entire week cause her daughter is getting married. This woman only started in November and I have heard so many stories as to why she can't come to work or whatever. When baby's are involved it's not so easy to fire and hire, it takes a while for your child to get used to someone so I will need a very good reason to fire this woman. Anyway, back to my original story, my Mr. and Mom are supposed to be helping me with her while I work, since both of them can be more flexible with their time. So yesterday, my mom was out, which left Oga in charge. Generally, it's a pain in the ass to feed her with a spoon since it's very messy and depending on her mood she might just spit everything out back at you, so I am conveniently 'not available' when it comes to this mealtime.

Being the good wife and mother I am (insert evil grin here) when it was time to feed her yesterday I went and made the food and said in the sweetest voice I could muster to Mr. to please feed her cause I was very busy with work. And infact, I made sure they did it in another room so I wouldn't hear all the drama that definitely will follow. Well it didn't work. 10 minutes later, Mr. came down baby in one hand bowl of food in the other hand...."take your baby, she doesn't want to eat her food..." and he dumped her on my lap put her food down and bounced.


That's how little madam started with her shakara oh!.....screaming, crying, jerking, stretching.....(where are those people that say I have a quiet baby at times like this?), what song did I not sing?, infact old macdonalds farm had every animal I could think of, from a ram that went baaaa (what sounds do rams make anyway?) to a meh meh goat (this is old macdonald naija style....lol). Anyway, she finished her food after about 40 painful minutes of singing and nodding and stumping my foot to show that I'm happy and I know it. And of course she sprayed me and everything in line with her mouth with her food.

Oh, I also wanted to sing that 1,2 buckle my shoe song, does anyone have the complete words to it?
