That Time of the Year...
·
*In Eminem voice*Back again...
Hazel’s back...
Tell a friend...”
Okay, okay...lemme stop fooling around and get down to
biznit. What I have to say today is tres important. Imagine I had to take time
off my self-imposed sabbatical to blog about this. That’s how importa-mkpa it is.
Ladies, if you are married and a
parent to school age kids
(plural oooo), September is the time to love the heck outta your husband (...or whoever
pays the piper). I know you love him already but at this time, you up the ante
on loving. Tell, touch, kiss, hug, sex, cook, clean...the whole nine yards and jara! You do not wait for the
opportunity to show him....no. You create the opportunity and it best be every
other minute of the day...until his September payday, at the very least. Then,
you can go back to showing him regular love ‘cos I can bet you even a Stanford
Wife (original) does not come wired with stamina for such extended service.
I mean, it’s all fun and games when summer time rolls by. Vacation
meets the Amazing Trio: Credit card, Debit card, Cash! Nothing says fun like
chortling excited kids and retail therapy! The kids need the time off, and you
could really use a break...justification right there. And before you even get
the chance to unpack your bagful of duty-free chocolates, it is time for
Back-to-School. Hello School Fees...
When I saw the school fees quote for Chets and Zi, my heart
dropped all the way to my Kente slippers! Whaaaaaaat?! The hubby had called to
find out how much it was so he can organize his finances. That one of the
things I love about him...organized finances. Anyways, I couldn’t readily
access the paper so I told him it was the usual; the usual being a little above
300L. When I eventually found and peeped the amount, liver cut! I couldn’t tell
him. I placed the paper strategically on the dresser. Let his eyes tell him,
biko!
We paid the fees today. I offered to go along. I usually
don’t but this one heavy small. I had words like “Odogwu” and “Nwoke e ji eje
mba” accompany every sigh that unknowingly escape him. His lower leg muscles hurt a
bit from all the walks he’s been taking recently so it made perfect sense to
rub his thighs gently, soothingly as he slotted his card into the school POS
right? When the debit alert hit his mobile and he said, “You know, this single
amount I just paid saw me through nursery school to university...and my mother
even had some change sef”, who else but his biggest fan will get the joke and laugh
the hardest? I even threw in a “That is, ehn” into the mix, for easy digestion! Ko easy, ra ra.
I remembered to ask for a discount since I have a second
child in same school. I was calmly informed that discounts are only given on
the third child fees. Haha!
Third child, ehkwa? One, Two, Three? Hahahaha. Unu ga eche. There’s a new contraceptive in town. It’s called
SchoolFees by APSL Pharmaceutical...(Association of Private Schools in Lagos).
Boo, o jare, if you ever read this (of course i’ll make sure
you do), I love you to bits! For everything you do...and cannot do...for us. If
I have to choose all over again, it’ll be the same choice. Thank you for
everything!
***************************
Oooookay. Y’all see i’ve created an opportunity to love,
ehn? Oya, boys and girls, drop a comment and go create an opportunity to love. Until
the next time, toodles.
*crawls back into...*
Oh, I know y’all have been waiting for the concluding part
to my last post. So have I. Crazy, init? But the sister is still in a
coma and we will have that concluding part as soon as she wakes. Deal? Deal!
Ok.
*crawls back into shell*

You this gal, you are just funny! Wish I had read this a month ago when I was trying to get hubby to move the kids to Chet's skull. After all my preaching about the pros of the skull when he asked about the fees his response was like 'atinuke, let's wait till nife is in pry one next session''. Anyway next session I will be armed with d reqd artillery .

you are right about school fees being a contraceptive. I recently thought I could be pregnant and all my husband wailed about was school fees.
