I know you are all used to this Monday morning routine thing, but my own monday morning always comes with a spice, which means something new every Monday.
I woke up at 5:00 am, responding to my alarm, turning it off I groaned because I felt really exhausted and angry that it was Monday again, I went on my knee and said my morning prayers as I've been taught to do every morning as it enhances my relationship with God and beautifies my day.
Then my morning routine begins, first I went into the kitchen as I always do to prepare breakfast and lunch for my niece and nephew because I live with my sister.
Today's lunch was macaroni (pasta) and dodo (plantain). I put the macaroni on fire and started to peel off the plantain that was when I noticed that eggs had finished in the house, hmmm problem! I concluded that they were going to take the macaroni and dodo like that to school.

After preparing the food, I went to wake my babies up to bathe them for school but noticed my sister already did, so grateful I went back to the kitchen to prepare their breakfast (coco pops), but I was hit with another problem as milk had finished, OMOO!!!. At that very moment I knew that my morning was going to be weird...
In the bathroom doing my business I heard my sister bidding us goodbye as she was leaving the house with her husband for work. After having my bath and wearing my clothes, I went back to the sitting room to check on babies and realized they had finished the macaroni I gave them for breakfast since there was no milk for cereal.
I went outside to get my black flats (shoes) but couldn't find a pair, damn what was happening today, I felt like crying cause that was the only black pair i had and couldn't wear another without changing my outfit. Then I started my search for it but couldn't find it until my niece remembered her brother had worn it and left it at my neighbor's doorstep, Sighs... I was relieved. Then we left home...
As if all the confusion was not enough. On our way, my little nephew tripped hurting his hands. Holy Father what was happening today... I cleaned him up thanking the heavens I was with a mini first aid kit because I wanted to use it to teach my pupils at school today.
We successfully arrived at their school since I don't work there... Phew thank God.
On arrival at my work place, I met a commotion between a teacher and a parent, who came to fight the teacher because she claimed the home work given to the child was too much, but the more the teacher tried to explain it, the parent flared up, refusing to accept. At first I wanted to interfere but then I remembered my day has been a little out of place and the aggression could be transferred on me. I just walk past them and headed to my classroom and said a little praying for the fact that even we the confusion all morning I still successfully arrived at work without any serious issues...
Hmm I just felt I needed to share with you guys how my Monday morning went yesterday.
Comment if you can relate, especially as a lady... Thanks for reading through.
