New places..

It's been a while since I have done this. My fortunes changed and the hours seem to have flown right by me. Just the other day  I was waiting on my second one and now she is 9. Who would have thought that the ever tired mama would sire a burst of energy and laughs. But I digress.
Today I wanna speak of new places. Have you ever felt like you just need to up and leave. Like the space you have known all your life is not recognizable? Time for a fresh start you feel.

Well, after many moons of agonizing over this I up and left. I left what I had grown to love but grew to hate. I left what I was accustomed to, to the great unknown. I stepped over the edge of the cliff of what had become my life to an amazing new beginning. I was blessed enough to be able to move with my little ones and continue our journey together.

A lot has happened since I last wrote but all will be revealed soon.

Party on..

It's almost five years now and I must say things have moved swiftly. My 2 baby gals are so mature trust me these are words from my friends. Over the weekend some friends and I went out for  retreat at Arboretum. My gals love the outdoors and the rainy weather did nothing to dent their enthusiasm. We left the house early due to errands I needed to run. On normal occasions I would not be caught dead with kids in town on a Saturday morning, but this was a special day. I had organized the event and I felt my kids need to see me do my thing.
We got there early and I finished all my errands before the met time so we decided to take a walk around. Suddenly the weather dramatically changed. We ducked for cover in a building as I began to contemplate if I should take them back home. To my sweet surprise the rain only elevated their eagerness. I was elated.
Soon after my friends called to inform us they were running late as expected. I felt a slight irritation thinking I woke the gals early for this? To us a plot is a plot. We cherish it and follow through because it's our nature. Being the wild ones we are we went around singing and just enjoying the moments together.  What I learnt was that often times we expect others to bring the party forgetting you can and are the party. Living with my gals has taught that. Party at my house everyday

Shopping spree

Friends are real gems I tell you. I happened to have been blessed with fabulous gems. I have been tired lately so I really am not up to anything. Jess, a friend I've had since high school and Noni decided to organize the events leading to the arrival of our bundle of joy. A lunch was arranged after Sunday service and before you know it a list or agenda was up and running.
The first order was to get baby clothes and believe me you don't want to go shopping at 8 months.. That was a looooooong day! Somehow my threshold for nonsense has gone down so once we ran into an arrogant attendant I'd urge them to seize and desist immediately. Needless to say we got some amazing finds and this baby has some seriously funky aunts!!! The weather didn't help much but it didn't dampen our moods at all.

Breaking the news..

Whenever we dream, we have these amazing little niceties that we pray and hope would come true. But to our dismay, life throws us a curve ball and shit hits the fan. I will never forget the day I had to tell my folks I was expecting yet another baby. My hands were all sweaty and hot, not forgetting the dizzy spells I kept getting(or were those imaginary). I don't think I wanna relive that day.
All these thoughts were running through my mind of how I'd let them down. How I wouldn't have the right answers to their endless questions. So like all immortals here on earth, I sought guidance from above. You can not imagine their disappointment.
I had no job, no prospects of marriage and there I was calmly telling my mum that this time it was different. Well I guess that was that! She had to deal with it. My dad on the other hand thought that was one of the reasons God brought us to this world.
So I guess am having this baby, wapende wasipende. Wish me luck!

In a rush to nowhere.

I woke up feeling really eahausted. I was late. Oh my! I have tp prepare the baby gal for school! So I jumped out of bed only to let out a cry of anguish. There was this huge round thing blocking my way. I tried moving to my left but to no avail. This protrusion was not co-operating. Then I get a flash! Gal, what you trying to do? Kill yourself. You know you can't rush no more...

Memory flashes come back to me. I am 7 months pregnant and rushing is not my thing. So I tell myself the teacher will understand one more late day!
