Steem greetings @everyone and welcome to my blog as I share my lifestyle content with you all. It was Saturday and I had a lot to do for the weekend. Guys before I continue, permit me to shout out to all the amazing single parents in the world. You guys are doing amazingly well. Gosh, I have tasted it for days now as my husband travelled out of town and it is not easy at all.

I do not sleep well because I have to catch up with all the house chores, taking care of the kids, my work, etc. What can baby girl do, I cannot kill myself 😄hehehehe.
I had to take it easy on myself. I prepared breakfast for my kids and placed them in a flask because I knew they would wake up late and I had an appointment to catch up with in town with my hairstylist.

I had given my wigs to my hairstylist in town to revamp and treat them and she called me within the week that she was done with the wigs. I have low-cut now and I do not even feel like putting in wigs but I have to treat them well and keep them in case of any function that requires me to style my hair. I took a cab to town and arrived at the saloon when the hairstylist was not yet around but her sales girl was available. I had made all payments online and was only coming to collect my wigs. I called her on the phone and she spoke with the sales girl who then gave me the wigs.

I passed by the market to buy some vegetables to prepare my soups and store for the week. I had to buy bitter leaf, huckleberry, fresh tomatoes, onion, carrot/green beans, etc. I bought all the things and had to return home fast to meet up with the kids.

While at home, I napped for about an hour but could not nap properly as the kids were watching cartoons and the noise was crazy. I got up and started preparing the vegetables to be cooked the previous day. I washed the bitter leaf and stored it in the fridge to be cooked the previous day.

I bought already fixed Huckleberry and I washed it properly and boiled it. I will cook it the next day as a meal of the day with fufu. My kids love it so much and it's been a while since I prepared it.

I proceeded to slice my tomatoes to prepare tomato sauce for rice. I do not like using tomato paste and we had blackouts in which I could not blend the tomatoes. I had to stress using a knife to slice. I prepared the sauce and saved it in the freezer.

When I was done with the cooking, I heated water and bath the kids and equally took a warm bath. Then I soaked all dirty dresses with detergent and washed them the next day. I can't wait to own my own house and buy a washing machine.

It was dinner time, I joined the kids and we ate together. While they were washing cartoons in their room, I decided to watch the Laliga game between Espagnol and Real Madrid. It was an interesting game and I was expecting Real to win but it ended 1:0 in favour of Espagnol.

I concluded my day by writing a post about achieving 55k steem power on the platform. After the post, I had to catch up on some sleep as I needed to wake up early enough to wash the dirty clothes before my kids woke up from bed. Until my next diary session, I wish you all a blessed weekend and a once more special shout-out to all the amazing single parents out there.

Sort:  

It is not easy to raise kids and manage the home alone. Sometimes I see single parents lash out at their kids. One can't blame them much, especially when you see the pressure they have to deal with. You are doing well. All the best!
