I Lost My Husband Scare!

 Hey luluxtra lovers welcome back to another blog.

This blog to some would be hilarious while for others it's the other way round. I'd let you know how I feel at the end though.

So Thursday 25th May 2023, I had just gotten off the phone with my man, he'd just left church and headed home as at 7:00pm

NB: we are at different locations at the moment because he's working, so I at my end was trying to make dinner and I noticed I'd ran out of gas ; the time was 7:35pm. So I decided to call him back to complain to him because I just got gas less than a week ago so there has to be some leakage or the gas attendant just pumped air into my gas cylinder.

So here I am calling my man but he's not picking up for over 20mins. Thinking about it right now 20minutes is not enough time to start panicking but for some reason alot of negative thought was going through my head, thoughts like "it's unlike him, he'd at least text me back", "he should be home by now, what's going on?", "What if he'd dropped his phone on his way back from church or worse robbed!" Ah! 

I was impatient, I called my brother because they are living together at the moment but his phone was switched off, called my cousin who just left portharcourt and was living with him she picked her call but instead of saying " Hello!" She was like " Elohor, Elohor your husband would call you back, he's having network issues." She hanged up and now in my head I'm like why not she give him her phone but my baby sister living with me asked me to relax that he'd call me back.


I tried to relax for like five minutes guys (lol), I tried to continue seeing the series I was watching on Netflix but five minutes felt like forever, I called my cousin again and she said he's downstairs that he's gonna call me and at this point I was growing really impatient and frustrated, I called his number again and then my younger brother picked his call; see me yelling at my brother " Where is my Husband?" He said he's charging his phone.


At this point nothing was making any sense, what they were saying wasn't adding up, I felt like screaming, I felt it was happening all over again, clearly I haven't gotten over loosing both parents under three years. Common it was this same scenario and I was loosing my mind, I'd already started crying, I ran outside to maybe shout or call on my neighbors but I came back inside and called my husband's number again my brother picked again and I kept asking him "Where's my Husband?" He was still insisting he's charging his phone. AHA HA go and call him now, he hanged up; at this point I called my cousin here in portharcourt to tell her I don't know what's going on but I am trying to speak to my man and my brother and cousin were giving me excuses (you guys at this point I was crying), the kids were staring at me, I was trying to stay calm but I couldn't, I called my neighbor telling her same thing I told my Cousin, she rushed to my flat immediately and then she called my husband's number he answered.

Yay! 

I stopped wailing. 

See my laughing at how absurd I'd behaved.

I indeed earned drama queen title last night.

Seriously though as hilarious as it may seem it gives me reason to think I need serious help, I mean all of this drama happened in one hour.


Feel free to share your kind thoughts

Our Potty Training Story

Our Potty Training Story As at the time I'm writing this blog my baby 'Vida' is two years old and she's potty trained. Initially she got potty trained at about 21 to 22months old officially even though before then she'd indicate when she needed to use her potty but i choose to say 22months old because she decided independently on her own to stop wearing diapers, whenever I wore her diapers she'd remove it and that's when I came to the conclusion that we were potty trained! So initially I introduced potty to my daughter quite early, I think somewhere around 8-9 months; reasons because the bath my mum gifted us came with a potty and also she (my mum) engineered the idea of how nice it'd be if I started potty training early. So I do as told even though I wasn't doing it consistently, reason because it was difficult to tell when she needed to pee or poo, it just happens plus I wasn't always into it, so it was off and on for me. Fast forward to when s...

Fifteen Things I Would Teach My Daughter

Motherhood is overwhelming . I mean all what I think about is ensuring a sustainable and bright future for my baby girl. For me having a baby girl is like recreating the mini version of yourself and doing anything possible to avert her from making the same mistakes you made and encouraging her to do things you wished you'd have done but was too scared to do. Now that's my truth, I can't say for any other person. Fact is I can't manipulate my daughter's future neither is it right to dictate her life, but here are things I'd love to teach her.  Your Gender Doesn't Define What You Should Do,  Become or Love:  Growing up as a young girl society made me believe some certain things are meant for the male and also for the female; from career choices to hobbies, even as far as to politics, TV shows or entertainment etc.Now this is not a sexist blog but I'd love for my baby girl to know that the things she loves and is passionate about isn't and shouldn...

Getting Hitched

Been Married for Three months traditionally and two months legally and in the sight of God. I tend to see and listen to many single ladies drowl and gush on the thought of getting Married. Now don't get me wrong there's absolutely nothing wrong with that if only it's for the right reasons and with a proper understanding of the word "Marriage". During school days i was opportuned to have several amazing friends who'd gush and fantasies on their dream wedding mostly when they go online and check out videos and stories on some of the top Nigerian weddings via Instagram. Back then for me I wasn't really all blown away by the thought of having a fabulous wedding and what not; I was rather more of a  " I am happy and that's all that counts".  I had my boyfriend then back in school and we were really happy but never for once did I allow the thought of marriage sink in because quote me wrong but I felt marriage would ruin everythin...
