Is it just me or did this year just 'fly' so quickly?, it's scary man, all the things I wanted to have done by the end of the year, let's just say I'm still working on...lol. School run is sooooo not fun, my God I have a new found appreciation for my parents, and for all of you that were screaming "St. Saviours, St. Saviours!" how far with all the homework? I feel like I'm a student there as well

Ever so often kpuff cracks me up, I always mean to share with you all but by the time I get around to it I've forgotten or don't find it as funny anymore...lolSo on our way home from school today (finally decided on St. Saviours....more on that later) kpuff decides she wants to play with my phone and it went something like thisMe: no you can't play with my phone, its not working cause you've

Meet Julie, she is 6 months old and suffering from a severe case of traction alopecia. Julie is Kpuff's best friend, baby, my sister (the days kpuff feels like playing mummy to me), and the one who gets blamed for everything..."kpuff* why did you pour the water on the floor?"....."It's not me, it's Julie that did it!"......"kpuff, you 'wee weed' on my bed" ....."it's not me, it's Julie that 'wee

I have a very good friend, who has a boyfriend she's been dating for a 'minute'. When they started dating....he was all over her like white on rice (like always...lol) and now barely a year later he's cooled off considerably (the usual, work, other commitments...etc). No problem. A hot topic of debate for them has been marriage, they both want to get married to each other but he's not ready just

I came home today to find kpuff her grand-dad (my dad) playing golf (nintendo wii), kpuff came 2nd (I prefer second to last...:)) with a record of +63!! I didn't even know scores came that high...hey as long as she's happy. Wii boxing on the other hand she excels at, home girl had like 7 knock outs in a row..lol.

I'm in search of a new school for Kpuff, she's not due to start primary school for another 2 years or so, but most of the good schools are quite competitive (I mean they interview the kids and all...lol). On the shortlist are Grange and St. Saviours Ebute Metta. I prefer St. Saviours but meeeen that commute won't be easy since we live in Ikeja. I spent the last two days collecting one admission

It's been over a year since I updated....:(. Frankly I didn't think I'll update again, but for some reason I've been thinking about blogging lately...I've really missed everyone. What's new? Does anyone still come here?...I'll do my best not to stay away for so long next time but I can't make any promises. So, on to my favourite topic :). Kpuff is three...., can you believe it?! she's 3 years old

Thanks for the all the comments and emails, it's amazing how time flies, almost 2 months since I updated :( - sorry. So much has happened over the last 2 months, Kpuff's birthday was a hit, a few of us (about 10 folks) went to fun place, Kpuff was really really clingy (which isn't abnormal - but damn), but I hear she had fun when I left to drop off her cake at home, I'm starting to think Kpuff

Kpuff's birthday is this weekend! how time flies, I don't believe she's going to be 2, I still clearly remember being pregnant and labour (shudder). Once your child starts hitting 1 or 2 everyone is like "...so when is the next one coming?"....hmmm yeah sure.So I'm not sure what the agenda for her birthday this year is, definitely no party, I think I'm going to take a couple, sorry a few (more

I did it!!! we went swimming yesterday!!!!. Yeah that whole high pony tail ting didn't work....lol. Kpuff was petrified, she was screaming at the top of her lungs...bush girl..lol. I tried the kiddie pool, no luck with that either, so I decided to go back to the regular pool and let her cry it out. When she finally did, she fell asleep on her floater holding on to me for dear life...lol. I'm

It's so nice to read all the nice welcome back comments from everyone, I feel like a superstar..lol. I have to confess I don't have much to blog about today, but I don't want to abandon the blog for another (cough) 3 months..lol. Didn't get up to much this weekend, Aunty B is off, so it's just kpuff and I :). the last few weekends have been weddings, bridal showers, etc. For those of us who live

Knock knock, anyone still here? I'm sooooooo sorry. Much much much has happened and is going on. For one we need to come up with a new name for kpuff she's slimmed down considerably (she's not ill or anything I think it's just cause she's more active). She's still not in school :(, I promise that will happen by her 2nd birthday which is next month!!Mr. and I are no more, long long story don't

Sorry I have been AWOL, I've just been busy. So much has happened over the last few weeks not sure where to start. Well for all of you that said to give kpuff kpuff sweets that's not even an issue now cause she's stopped going to daycare, she was quite ill (she's better now) so I stopped for awhile. Going back didn't quite happen as I imagined, as soon as I turned into the street she started

So I found out that, kpuff kpuff has been hustling the other little kids in school for their biscuit, chai. Apparently when the other kids are eating their biscuits during lunch Kpuff kpuff is supposed to be eating her yoghurt cause I don't want to get her started on sweets, but the allure of the other kids biscuits is too much for her to bear, so she goes to hit them and take their biscuits....

I spoke to an old friend today, before today I hadn’t spoken to her in about 16 years, we lived on the same street for about 3 years till I turned 10 or 11 then my family moved. Talking to her brought back a flood of memories both good and bad. There were 3 of us who were about the same age on the street, we went to birthday parties together, went to ‘lesson’ together, went to the club together,

Totally off topic, one of my homeboys is on a quest to find a girlfriend in 30 days (no idea why). He's a fine boy (naija fine boy I hope that isn't copyrighted..lol), 6ft 3 inches (or something in that vicinity), and lives in NY. All suggestions welcome.

Kpuff went to a daycare/creche/playgroup (depending on what part of the world you're in) today for the first time in her life, it was actually more difficult than I thought it would be. I picked her up 2 hours earlier than I was supposed to...lol. Going to the creche wasn't planned, Mrs. Nanny hasn't shown up for work for 2 straight days and hasn't called either. I'm not even angry cause there's

Well after all the festivities for kpuff kpuff I think I'm going to have a very laid back day tomorrow. Well first off, I'm heading to Bobby's at Ivory Health club to get my "hair did" (

Kpuff Kpuff's birthday party has finally come and gone! one big sigh of relief. So against mine and most your better judgement I decided to have a party, mind you I came to this decision last weekend to have the party on Saturday. I finally got around to inviting people and ordering food on Thursday (I called back like 3 times to change the order) then heard there was no movement on Saturday and

In the last few weeks I've been watching a lot of Cheaters (the tv show) and it's really got me thinking? Why do men/women cheat? is it possible for men/women not to cheat? how true is all that crap about we not being wired to be monogamous?. I know everyone gets tempted, but whats the difference between those who go ahead and those who don't?, just willpower?Anyway, of course I went

Don't you just hate it when you have friends that don't get along? Somehow I always end up in these predicaments, very annoying I tell you. I want to do stuff this weekend with everyone, but now I have to segment my time and spend it separately with each of them so no one has an attitude and everyone's happy!I have a friend who screwed my cousins man, so of course they both don't like each other

The last few weeks have been a bit rough for me, for one I handed in my resignation (I know I know) everyone thinks I'm crazy but I couldn't do it anymore, these people were making my life miserable and basically looking for a way to fire me, so I took the graceful route and gave them notice, my last day is March 15th. On to better news, I found a similar opportunity with another company in the

So Mr. and I went to the History of Love 101 concert over the weekend. The turnout wasn't great and like most things Nigerian it was poorly organized. I was really looking to Paul I.K. Dairo and Donell Jones. Paul's performance was a joke, I think on the way to the venue they saw a couple of girls hanging out and asked them if they wanted to come along and be his backup dancers.There were 4 of

I've had a crazy week so far, of course in between I've kept up with the latest blog gist...LOLMondayHad to go to Ayinke House close to the Airport to see a doctor. That place is a dump, so how did I end up there you ask? I have been looking for a pediatrician for my kpuff kpuff since we got back and everyone kept recommending this same doctor, and after trying to make an appointment with her for

Sorry guys, I know I've been AWOL for a minute, it's this work wahala. Anyway I won't bore you with the details.Last weekend one of my mom's friends came over and she had got her eyebrows tattoed. (I didn't know they did that in Nigeria) Anyway, they looked totally fab, and my mom is considering getting hers done. I don't know about tattoing my eyebrows, what if all of a sudden I want round

I swear stress is just following me everywhere. Right now my pimple and hair concotions are the least of my worries. I have 2 project deadlines for the 22nd of Jan and 7th of Feb. My client/boss is being a complete ass, and they are trying to renege on my contract. I think they suddenly realized "...damn we're paying this 'african' chick a little too much..." well that one is their palava, I'm

Have you noticed that plenty girls in Lagos have serious fresh skin? I mean even fresher than the girls in yankee, it’s not even funny oh! And when you ask them all of them will tell they use pears baby soap or some crap like that or they drink a lot of water. Abeg, who doesn’t know that water thing? Me too I drink plenty water and my face is ok, but not as fresh as I see on these girls.Since I

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

I don't believe we're in 2007! it just sounds like it should be so far in the future. All in all I had a very good 2006- I got married- I had a baby - I got a fantastic opportunity to do some consulting work for my employers in NY from Nigeria with the same salary (and no US taxes!!!! :))- I got tenants who pay their rent on time (knock on wood)- I moved to Nigeria with my family- I have a family

I typed this up yesterday but forgot to put it up, enjoy..I just got back from PH and I can barely keep my eyes open. I am so tired, but I just had to make this blog entry while the details are still fresh in my head…this is definitely going to be a long one so you better get comfortable.SaturdaySo on Saturday, my brother in law called us at like 7 in the morning and said he was heading to the

So I finally 'bubbled' oh!. Last Friday I went to Soul Lounge, which is a teenie, weenie bar/lounge at the palms. I went with my 'socialite' cousin (that's a topic for another day) and her soon to be husband. The place was surprisingly packed, it really wasn't much different from the NY night scene the key differences being, people smoking inside (I have gotten used to the no smoking inside), a

I feel miserable, I look miserable. I have malaria, I have a cough and cold. My husband is sick, my baby is sick. We all have to fly to Port-Harcourt this weekend I am meeting my in-laws for the first time, I'm sure they are already cursing me out for not seeing them all this time. The airport in PH is closed, so we have to fly to Owerri and then go by road from Owerri to Port-Harcourt. What kind

Nigerian ISPs have been a frequent blog topic and now I understand why. Since I arrived, I had been waiting on a particular company to install our "faster" connection. It's been about a month and a half and they only just installed on Tuesday, this is after many frustrating calls from my father, and listening to stories of their dishes being on some container that needs to clear or, them looking

So do you have any friends that cancel plans as soon as their boyfriends/husbands snap their fingers? Ok fine I know sometimes I cancel plans as well for the same reasons, but all the same not all the time. I have a girlfriend who constantly does this, infact I know 2 of them who do this. They could have been calling you all day bored as hell looking for something to do and then you make plans

So did I tell you nothing is straight-forward here? well of the 3 things I have been trying to get accomplished since I arrived, 2 are complete!!!! I now have a bank account and I have a registered company, yey! the third was internet access, my dad had been working on this before I even arrived and guess what? still no access, each time I ask, if it's during the week, the response "it will get

So I have been in Nigeria exactly 1 week, where do I start? this country is crazy!!. The traffic and the way everyone drives is not a joke oh! other than that, everything is okay, the internet access is not as horrible as I expected. I actually have wireless access at home :). Also, nothing is straight forward, I needed to go open an account, and they are telling me it's not a one day process and

I loooove Fridays!!!, I "work" from home on Fridays so I get to spend the day with my baby :). So what's happening folks? nothing's going on with me except that we're moving out this weekend, I don't believe we will soon be in October!! it's crazy how time flies. Everything is going to the container this weekend and we're going to live out of our suitcases for the next 2 weeks (not really looking

It looks like every one of my friends I talk to in Nigeria is moaning and complaining about money or the lack of it rather. I am quite a resourceful person and I find it difficult to believe that there's not much a graduate can do to earn money. I know the job market is dreadful and the pay is nothing to write home about, but all the same there are people surviving one way or the other.I spoke to

So that whole thing about pilates and working 4 miles every day is officially over, I don't remember the last time I worked out - instead I just suck my stomach in, it's a lot easier. My company even paid for gym membership for all of us, but it's not going to happen. When I get to Nigeria (I'm moving next month) I'll start seriously again....I think...

Actually she came 2 months ago, April 26th to be exact but I have been too busy to blog. Labor is not a joke, ladies everything they tell you is true :( but you forget the pain really quickly so it's all good. So my cutie pie weighed 7lbs 11 ounces at birth and now she's up to 13lbs 8 ounces, this chick tries to eat everything that touches her mouth. I have sent her pictures just about to

So this working from home thing is not really working. I mean over the last few months I have worked occasionally from home, but I started working exclusively from home since last Monday!. I am bored out of my freakin' mind!!! I have chatted, checked my email compulsively, watched tv, made phone calls and of course done some work :).All that occupies my mind these days is baby & the move back to

I finally succumbed to the "blog-nation". So my blog name is a tad bit misleading, "9jamommy" (naija mommy) because, technically I'm not a mom yet, but will be in a few days/or weeks. Me EDD is the 28th of April, let's keep our fingers crossed.
