Lazy Days

I looooove weekends, not because I'm a lazy but I absolutely love not having anything serious scheduled. Today Little Miss (formerly known as kpuff) and I are watching Harry Potter movies all day. Can you believe she had never seen a Harry Potter movie?! so I have made it my mission to bring her up to speed because I also want to watch them, again :)

In other news, I want to go back to school (I've been saying this for a bit too long now). Please share your back to school with kids experiences.

Creche Recommendations in Lekki?

So we're starting all over, it's time for Fatso to go to a creche, he's a little over 1 now and I just feel it's time for him to go play with other kids vs sit with the nanny all day. I haven't done this in 'yonks' I'm not even sure what to look for in a creche..lol. Can anyone make any recommendations in lekki? why do you like it...etc? Thanks!

Knock knock. Who's There?

It has been too long. My goodness just typing this brings back so many memories. I think I want to start blogging again. For everyone who kept checking on me online and offline - Thank you. Well just a few updates, Kpuff is 7 years old now!, yes 7! (oh my goodness she will soon be a teenager...lol). She definitely isn't a kpuff kpuff anymore.

I also have a 7 month old son now - fatso :-D. I swear it's like I've forgotten everything about having an infant...lol

So what's new with everyone? kids? partners? businesses?, please tell, I've missed you all :)

Nanny Diaries + It's November!

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. Oh well oh well.

So I never told you about all my nanny drama. Miss B is gone, I'm not even sure what happened, all I know is she came back late from her weekend off I scolded her and she stormed into my home office with her resignation letter, whaat? I didn't even bother asking her why she was leaving...

Two (very long) months later I hired Miss M, Miss M, was introduced to me by the lady who does our pedicures, who of course vouched a 100% for Miss M's personality. First thing I noticed when she started work was that she was 'booming' when I say 'booming' you don't even understand, if she was in the living room, three hours later, you'll know she entered the room because she left her 'signature' scent behind. I bought her deodorant and told her to wash her underarms with lime, no dice. My mum was going crazy with the smell and asked her to go bring all her lotions, it turned out she was using a bleaching cream that smelled really bad, go figure. The sad thing is, she wasn't willing to let it go, every time you smell it on her again, she'll tell you she was cleaning fish or something (yes it smelled that bad)

To top it off, her problems didn't end with the stench, she also had quick fingers. I can tolerate a lot, but I can't do thieves. Anyway long story short Miss M's short tenure ended up at the police station cause she 'fapped' my jewellery (another long story, think I overdid it with the police, lesson learned). My pedicure lady promptly 'disclaimed' her at this point.

Then came along Miss Togo B, this is her second month, and so far so good. My main issue is that she doesn't speak well which Kpuff could potentially pick up (Kpuff picked up 'H-animal' from Miss M...ye!). Anyway let's keep our fingers crossed, I'm soo not ready to switch nannies again.

Meanwhile my mum was saying some jazz like I shouldn't get another nanny (before Miss Togo B resumed) cause kpuff is so much better off when I'm involved in everything she does (like duh!). Abeg, I can't do it, call me anything, I like my work, I like the break from a crying child, and I'm very happy to have a life outside of my role as a mother, more power to all the stay at home mums and dads!

Kpuff classic

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...lol

So 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 this

Me: no you can't play with my phone, its not working cause you've dropped it too many times

Kpuff: it's working!!

Me: no its not are you going to give me money to fix my phone?

Kpuff: yes (with a mischevious smile)

Me: where are you going to get money from?

Kpuff: from my 'molopoly'

If only it were that easy.

Julie

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 weed'" (or a more creative "I didn't we wee, water came out of my bum bum..."), you get the general gist. Once upon a time Julie had a full head of nice curly hair, but for some reason, Kpuff had absolutely no interest in her (I tell you kids can be strange). For the life of me I can't even think of how all her hair came out in such a short time, maybe 'Julie' pulled it out herself...

Deal or No Deal

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 yet. He wants to put a few things in place (finances....hmmm not sure what else...lol). She on the other hand doesn't see why they can't put those 'things' in place together. He feels pressured. He feels they can start to take the steps towards putting those 'things' together by saving towards common goals, possibly living together...etc before they get married. She feels, if he can do all that then what's the difference they might as well be married. She's starting to feel like he wants all the benefits of the 'cow' without buying it (I've always hated that saying)

So.....thoughts? What am I to tell her?
