I was tired this weekend,after a very busy week,and the traffic didn't help at all.Last night,in bed,I realised that I am not always openly thankful to God,I might think about it,but I don't always say it.I am getting tired of waiting for things to get better,to be able to go away and just relax when I feel overwhelmed,wondering if things would have been different if my path had taken the one i dreamt about when I was in University.But with all these different activities going on,I must never forget to be thankful and grateful,because let's be honest,what else can I be.
Yesterday was Mother's day,I was a bit upset,no-one at home said it to me, but then my daughter gave me a handmade card and my son also gave up something he likes just to make me smile,and I liked it.My husband keeps saying he will surprise me, so let me wait for it.I will definitely announce the great surprise when it happens,because even I cannot wait.I will be hopeful and have faith about my life,career,marriage and all that concerns me because I must keep looking up.
It shall come to pass,that my latter days will be better than the former ones.
it shall come to pass that people will call me blessed.
It shall come to pass that my children will be a wonder in and to their generation
It shall come to pass that God's plans for me will be better than the plans I thought were good for me
It shall come to pass that a time will come when I will never have to worry about anything,i am learning to lean on only GOD and I want that to be 150%.
It is well with my family,my future,destiny and dreams

The unspoken words
I am very angry.Armed robbers now seem to think that it is okay to rape women after clearing out their possessions.The police checkpoints have been removed,big deal,I don't see them in countries outside Nigeria.Why must we be different.If I was a superhero,I would destroy a lot of bad people,go green hornet on their butts.
Last week was tiring for me,traffic and waking up at 3a.m just wore me down.Couldn't even attend a women's programme over the weekend,because I was just exhausted.I got grief from one person who I am beginning to get upset with,for the comments she makes,she doesn't mean harm,but always put yourself in the next person's shoes.
I read this from a devotional this morning on work balance- Don't work yourself to death!We need to always take care of ourselves,our bodies are living temples,and overwork brings disease.Overwork is not only imbalance,it is neglect of God's temple.A person can only take so much stress.We must remember this whenever we feel overwhelmed, and to hell with what people will think just because you want to relax.Life is to short .Let us rest and ask The Holy Spirit to help us,show us the way and give us breakthrough.

This week in a few sentences.
Choosing appropriate titles are always a challenge for me,but I know i will become a pro soon.Its' another weekend.Everyone in my house is fast asleep,kind of weird.The kids like to stay up late!This week has been what it is.Helped my son unlock an Ipod touch for his friend.Due to the hazards of our Internet connection,spent all night doing it.But hey,have earned the label of 'cool mum',and I think my son has started a small business,lol.
What is it with event planners,let me throw this question out,does it make sense to have a table setting with charger plates and table numbers for a baby dedication.Do they feel that they are the only ones that are perfectionist.Another grip I have with them,they expect to be paid in millions,then when you are contacted as a caterer,they expect your bill to be tiny,forgetting that you work as hard or even harder than they do.It is GOD that gives jobs,so let me hold my peace.
I am a fashion addict,I must admit that,despite the fact that i always try hard to fight it.My brother is coming to sort out a few issues and i wanted to ask him to get me a pair of black skinny jeans.I resisted the urge.My friend is travelling to get stock for her shop,again,i want to ask for jeans,but aha,considering the fact that I refuse to do any spending when I am trying to save,that was so easy to resist.But i am thinking of how to get a pair of black skinny jeans.I can't help myself.
I am looking forward to some many things soon,let me put it that way.Will keep everyone posted as they unfold.

New Year
This is my first blog this year.I feel you must live a pretty exciting life to be able to blog everyday,or do you just put down stuff that go through your head.What have i done so far this year.
Have survived the petrol increase strike.
Still angrily paying the toll fee
Cooking for my clients and constantly asking GOD for jobs.
My brother is getting married in July,so on the hunt for that prefect dress and everything that goes with looking hot for such a big event.Havent met the bride though.
Yippee,finally going to meet my darling nephew Caleb,hope I wont want to take him home with me.
La Senza has gone into administration,so sad,that was my fav store for lingerie.Will announce my new spot when I go for the wedding.This trip will be very artsy and educational for me.I hope this trip will bind my sisters and I together,we live so far apart that I feel i dont know whats happening with them.
I have decided to step up my game this year, give a seed every month to 2 churches.Last year was so tight financially,that there was always a delay with the payments.I have begged GOD this year ,that I want to pay every month and on time.Will keep you posted on that.

Can you count the stars!
I have decided to be positive! why? I don't have a choice, and I have looked at people and life around me,and hey,there is still hope.As the starts are numerous, so have I decided to extend my vision, I will look ahead and speak only good things into my life.
I have become more adventurous with regards to fashion and I am enjoying it,no need to say' i don't have anything to wear' while standing in front of a wardrobe full of clothes.
My daughter fell in the tub a few weeks back, quite serious, but I thank GOD she is a lot better and the stitches are almost off.
In other random news, watched Moments with Mo last night on superwomen and it was quite interesting especially the views of the older couple.Its not easy been a mum and having to multitask the way we do,there is some inner strenght that we all have and are never even aware of.
I have decided to stick to been my honest down to earth self and just go with the flow. I haven't worked for almost 2 months, and I am bored.I like the fact that I can be done with all my activities, beat the traffic and be home before the kids, imagine if my babe fell in the bath when there was no-one at home.Thank GOD for his mercies.
Will soon start posting pictures of fun and interesting things which will include me,lol! Hunting for the perfect camera. Internet speed has been so frustrating that using my lappy is not fun anymore!
I am itching to start making magic with this blog, so watch this space!

So random!
Wow, you really have to be disciplined to be a blogger, or you could go weeks without doing it.Have different thoughts going through my mind. I have been told that I overanalyze situations, which i know is often true. I just can't help it.It could become a problem though,if you don't know when to draw the line.I have asked GOD to help me because I am getting confused concerning a lot of things that christians do, and I need answers and fast! I am hoping i will find them soon.I definitely do not want any man to make me derail in my walk towards living the kingdom life.When I get the answers, i will share them.
Fashion wise, trying to be more adventurous with my wardrobe in terms of style and colours, I need dresses,jeans and belts in like tons in my wardrobe,lol.I would so rule the runway!

Life!
What did I do on Saturday? My son had an independence day programme in school, so we went for that.Got home at like 5p.m.Church on Sunday was good, volunteering in the I.T Department for children's church.Killing 2 birds with one stone, enjoyed myself and not in any female group to do it.(eyes rolling).
Decided to table the conversation I had with my friend on Friday with the powers that be! Didn't enjoy doing it, but I just don't like been in an imperfect setting, and I see a storm brewing in the near future,if some issues are not nipped in the bud right now.I have peace, don't know if I did the right thing, might get into trouble for doing me,but somethings just have to be said.
Does telling the truth always set you free?
Hmm, on Monday, came across this fabulous blog for women with curves , and I am so hooked right now.http://girlwithcurves.tumblr.com/archive. Tanesha, the blogger has mad dressing skills, will definitely try and get the camera she uses for the amazing shots her husband takes, a Nikon D7000, don't like the price, but I have been itching to get a camera to start taking some serious shots, so I will pray for a miracle and hope it's my present from Santa!
I did not know that jeggings could look so hot on a chick with curves, I am going to appreciate my wardrobe better now, because I love fashion and tanesha has inspired me to be more adventurous.
I am so upset with my hubby, he uses the excuse that he is not romantic to be dry, and claims that there is nothing wrong with me making suggestions on ways we can have fun. Ladies , do you have a problem with doing it all the time? I have been married for 12 years and i am still waiting for that moment, where i am so pleasantly surprised,that i burst into tears and speechless for like 2 hours.I love my husband, but a girl has gotta want more from her man.
When i got married, at 22.I was simple minded and very innocent and didnt want too much from life.But I am 34 now, my fashion sense has evolved sooo much, am older,wiser, seen and experienced a lot more than I ever thought i would,so I guess been simple is no longer enough, especially when you find out that been nice does not mean people will treat you the same way and that life sucks at times!
One must be grateful though, for good health and just for been alive.
