Long time, again.....

Okay, it has been a while. Not sure why it has taken me so long to come back to the warm embrace of blogging. God knows I definitely need it. Been a bit down with what feels like the weight of the world on my shoulders

Have been working really hard at work and at business and at home. Nice distractions but tiring. So what have I been up to??

Work. Had to get to work at around 7.15 for the last 4 Mondays to turnaround some critical work. Note to self, need to get a new job with loads of money.

Got a cleaner. She asked if we sold shirts as my husband has at least 80 - 100 shirts and she is getting through all the ironing. :)

I have taken my daughter to loads of shows and finally took her to the London zoo. Nasty gorilla proceeded to do a poo and then he ate it. Had to shield her eyes.

My garden is pretty again, thanks to Hassan the gardener. He even planted some colourful plants in the border and has taken down DH's junk laden shed so I can put up Lopes playhouse and play hide and seek outside.

Mum is coming over for surgery in a few weeks so I have had to literally interview surgeons and confirm it they are worthy. Living in Nigeria makes you think that as long as you are paying for something, you can dictate. Imagine asking a surgeon based out of town to come to London to perform an operation!! Small wonder he did not tell me to go forth and multiply!

July was definitely party month. Lopes had a party, sometimes two, every weekend and we have one on Saturday and another on Sunday this week. God help me.

Come magnify the Lord with me, and let us exult his name together. Had great news. Lopes no longer has a hole in the heart. All gone and we have been discharged by the hospital.

So now I am lounging at home alone with Sandra ironing downstairs. She has a gospel CD on which is great. She actually prays before she starts work. Reminded me that I need to pray more and not take things for granted. Lopes and DH are on their way home soon. In the process of doing up her room, new bed has arrived and wardrobe comes on Tuesday.

Pardon this post. It has been a therapeutic flow of consciousness. I remember when my MBA marketing lecturer described one of my essays as such. Needless to say, I had to do it again!

Will be back soon and won't leave it too long.

Ps. FIL wants to stay with us again. Chineke God of heaven and above. Na who I vex? He will be having surgery and wants to recuperate here. Spare room is no longer spare as Lopes is moving in there so what to do. Watch this space, I might just run away.
