✍️ TAKING MY DAUGHTER TO THE SALON FOR HER TO MAKE HER BACK TO SCHOOL HAIR

Hello friends, I am delighted to be part of this engagement challenge about my diary game.
Today was such a a busy day for me as a mother,

Today is the second Sunday in the month of May, so in my church we normally have women's fasting and I don't like missing it.

This morning I work up early and it was pass 6am already, so I quickly jumped up from my bed then straight to the bathroom and bath, brush my teeth and then I get dressed, by this time my kids that will be going back to school tomorrow were still sleeping, when they heard me closing the door, they quickly came and ask me what they will eat as breakfast, so I told them what to prepare, then I moved to the church.

My outfit was the women's uniform which is this blue wrapper and white blouse, I use my branded slippers and wear the dress.

So guys I rushed down to the main road then pick a bike that will take me straight to the church so that I won't waste time looking for tricycle.

So guys getting to the church it was passed 7am, so I was not too late, by the time I reached the church, the women were already seated, and preaching was already going so I located a seat and seat.

The name of m church "REIGNERS BIBLE CHURCH" and is located at ifa ikot akpan by ifa small junction by total filling station, oron road.

The church service lasted till 12mid day.

There was this burial program that were to attend, one of our women lost her elder sister and the burial was today, she pleaded with the women to come and stand with her, so few women decided to go with my pastor's wife.

After women's fasting, we all drove down to the venue of the burial, the distance of the burial was at Nwaniba road a little bit far from my place and the venue was use offot government primary school

What2words

When we get to the venue of the burial, guest were already seated, since the wife of general oversea of my church was with us, so she was the one leading few of us that attended the burial, her seat was already preserved and we joined her.

After Seating, I took a selfie of myself with a sister that came with us.
The whole place were crowded with personalities, the woman that died was just 65 years old, she was the first daughter of the family, their parents were dead already and she was like the mother to her siblings.

She left behind her 4 kids, husband and siblings to mourn her. This life is vanity upon vanity, when we died we die alone without taking anything with us, may her soul rest in peace, my problem now is who will take care of those children, because the eldest of them is not up to 25 years old.

there was time for the family to dance and we joined them in dancing, so I took my pastor's wife picture with our church members that is burying her sister, and I also took selfie.

Others that came around took pictures took, we were so happy that we came around to bid farewell to the berief.

After the dancing there was few minutes preaching, there was an announcement and the coffin was taken to the burial ground with their church members while other well-wishers were remain for entertainment.

By this time my pastor's wife left us back home and we all remained till the end of the burial.
A table was set for us for refreshments, there was enough drinks and varieties of food but I went for jellof rice.

After eating, I checked my time it was almost 4pm and I needed to take my daughter to the salon for her to make her hair since she will be going back to school on Sunday.

So I hurriedly leave the venue, pick a tricycle to my house, so I took a drop, he charge me 1000 naira, that is equivalent to 2.5 steem.

By the time I got home, my daughter has already wash her hair by herself waiting for me to come back so that she can be taken to the saloon, I got home very tired and I pleaded with my daughter to give me some minutes to take a nap and that she should wake me up by 5pm, but my last child keep disturbing that her sister needs to make her hair, because of that, I couldn't sleep again, I got up dress up and we went to the saloon.

The salon is just closed by to my house and we didn't have to take any bike, so we Trek down to the venue, I got to the salon the salonist charge me 700 naira for a very simple hair style, this is a hair I would have done it myself if not for tiredness, so I didn't have any choice than to pay.

The hair didn't even take time, under 30 minutes she was done plaiting the hair and I took my daughter back home,.

The hair was a very simple style as you can see in the picture, it was all up and a front base hair style.

By the time I got home, I start packing their boxes because they will be leaving home to school very early in the morning, they have already stayed back from school for a week, I only pay for my second son fees and he went so early because he is writing his WEST AFRICA EXAMINATION COUNCIL (WAEC) but because I couldn't complete this other two fees, I ask them to stay back which I will be dropping them tomorrow.

So I make sure that their bags was well packed by myself because I don't want to hear any complain from any of them.

When I was done with packing of their bags, I asked my kids to go and find something and while I start blogging in the platform.
So guys, this was how I spent the whole of my today. I had to call it a close here and I remain your lovely @mesola.
I am inviting my friends, @chant, @okere-blessing and eliany
