Happy Birthday Boys!!

It's the boys (rugrats) birthday today. They're now 8 years old. I have every reason to be thankful to God. Not with the labour pains and all.They'll be starting their first Holy Communion class from next Wednesday. We opted for the Wednesday class (after school) as the Saturday class is at an awkward time 2pm.
We've got the cake and party bags ready for their classmates then later in the day, we'll probably take them out for dinner.
The Nintendo DS lite is still out of stock at the shops and online. They'll still get something sha.

I'll continue with "T"'s travel pictures tomorrow.

My hubby the traveller 1a

My hubby “T” is a bit of a traveller. I’ve tried talking him into blogging but he has blatantly refused. So in the next couple of days, weeks or months, I’ll show you some of the pictures in his “holiday library”.

Phnom Penh Museum, Cambodia

He watches a lot of travel channel and visits travel websites to research on new places. He planned to take me to China this year but it’s now off the cards because of the Olympics. Air fares and hotels are either too
expensive or fully booked. I think he’s now looking at Tunisia or Morocco.

Toul Sleng Genocide Museum where a lot of Cambodians were killed during the Pol Pot regime.

Day 15 @ work & the bug day II

I went back to work today only to be sent home 2hrs later. Why? I have to stay at home for 48hrs after the virus has gone! . Since its a nationwide outbreak, I don't think the sickie should count against me. I'll have a word with my union rep.
My son has been grounded for a week by my sister. No computer,no video games. My other son has not failed to remind him of that . "M" YOU'RE GROUNDED,NO COMPUTER, NO VIDEO GAMES!!!!!. He has been really quiet for the past two days . So today, my sister called it off. My son's face lit up.
He's enjoying himself now but they resume school tomorrow. Meanwhile, I'm at home watching Yoruba movies. Abi how for do?

Day 14 @ work & The bug

I didn't have a good night sleep because I had tummy ache and I kept going in and out of the loo. I had a funny feeling that I had caught the bug as I was also feeling nauseous.
When I got to work, my manager knew there was something wrong with me. When I told her, my colleagues moved away from me as if I had caught the bubonic plague! (Na wa for people o).
I then went into a side room to wait for my manager. When she came back to me, she was covering her nose with her blouse!!
Anyways, I got sent home. On my way home, I went to check out some things I need to export. My supplier told me to come on Monday. I also found a warehouse where I bought my car part which I had been searching for. I got it really cheap.
I wonder where I got this bug (which seems to be a major topic on BBC Newsy the last couple of days) from. This means I am not going out tonight.

Day 13 @ work & captain caveman

Got to work early today. I no want wahala. The weatherman said it was going to snow today so I got too prepared and then no snow. The silly weatherman was a bit embarassed on BBC1 when he was asked where the snow was?
My mum-in-law has been here since Sunday. She's babysitting for us because the after school club will be closed till 7th January. The club is usually open full time during the holidays but not this year. So I'm well behaved at for the next 3 days. But, I'll be going out tomorrow (TGIF) with my friend "B", god-daughter "T" ( 3months old) and our friend "TT" to my favourite place.
About two weeks ago was "B"'s birthday. The plan was to go out. So I invited "A" and "N". A day before the night out, I got a call from "N" who said that her hubby "Y" is not happy that I didn't invite him to the night out. When "Y" got on the phone, I apologised and explained to him that it was a girly thing. I couldn''t believe what I was hearing when he replied. He said "what would married women be doing at night clubs"? he knows what guys get up to at night clubs and he has no respect for married women that goes to night clubs. I couldn't say a word because I was too shocked. More so, "N"'s dad just came from Naija so I couldn't react the way I should have.
I never knew the guy lives in the dark ages o. "N" and "Y" have been married for over 10 years and they have two girls. The guy vexed me no be small.
After christmas, I met up with "N" for lunch.(she's a hardworking lawyer). Apparently she had a very big row with her hubby over the matter. I've now renamed "Y" as captain caveman.
I've added some new songs to my happy listening playlist. They will continue to change from time to time. They're some of the songs I enjoy listening to these days.

Day 12 @ work

I woke up at 9.04hrs and I was supposed to be at work by 9.00 hours.Well I called a
colleague's mobile as I forgot the induction handbook at work. I finally got to work at 9.40hours.
I was given a Friday ultimatum to sort out my references. I sprang into action. made a few phone calls, sent a few emails and by lunchtime, things turned around. My reference had been faxed. Because I had worked with the same government establishment for 7 years, I used my 2 managers (who were my bosses at different times) as my referees, the HR section refused to send the two references. They sent one covering the 7 years!
I got an email asking for another referee but the project I worked at over 7 years ago, had been merged with something else and my boss had left for God knows where.
Trust me.I put on my thinking cap, and I found a solution as my new HR assistant offered to send the reference by email. BINGO! I quickly sent her my "new referee's official email address. So by this time tomorrow, I'll be singing a different song.

Thank God for mobile phones, emails and new technology.

Have a prosperous New Year!!!!!
