My siblings are still living with us and we are in no rush to have them leave. The kids though - yoh, they drive us crazy sometimes. But, I've picked up some new routines.Suzy has this thing where she meditates every morning. She has asked me to join her in it and I won't lie, it's so difficult to do it in the beginning. She turns on candles and plays music - the kind that makes you sleep. And...
It is so weird to have a baby in the house. Shaka and I are rabbits when it comes to being sexually free in our house. Now, Wande wakes up and we know there's no sex until he takes a nap or until Tebza comes to take him for the day.I have just spent a good hour in bed and underneath my husband. Now, I'm in the kitchen, making breakfast and humming about. I'm in such a good mood....
Lulu let me move into her duplex. Thankfully, she hadn't sold it when she married Khotso and moved in at the royal house. I called her to the side the day that Kea told me to go back home, and explained to Lulu why I cannot go home. She understood shame. She really did. So, she let me stay at her place - upon Ona's permission of course because that girl has no independence whatsoever - and now I...
Today, mofomahadi takes off her mourning cloth. It's quite unbelievable that it's been a whole year since morena passed away. It's been an interesting year. Shaka and Fifi welcomed a baby boy who is now a couple of months old and Ruri's favourite cousin apparently. His name is some bombastic Zulu name that makes a very clear statement - no seSotho blood detected in him. His name is Akwand'impumelelo. Imagine introducing yourself as "Dumela, ke nna Akwand'impumelelo." If I...
Thomas and I have just concluded our doctor's appointment. I'm close to giving birth to our son and he's extremely excited to be welcoming our baby boy into the world. I've had a bit of a difficult pregnancy. I've managed to get type two diabetes because of this pregnancy and I'm on bedrest every other week. This child has between today and two weeks from now to come into this world or I'll be induced and he will be...
The worst part about Mohato being gone is going to bed without him. I've been doing this for a month now and I'm still not used to it. Mohato was the only person on this earth who knew when I wasn't okay - I didn't have to tell him. And he would find a way to make me better without even saying it out loud. We could speak about anything and everything. I got through my sons getting married...
I can never get used to these 4am church meet ups. Tebza always looks at me like she wants me to stay longer and my kids are usually fast asleep. I don't get the chance to wish them a good morning or ask them how they slept. Fortunately, my initiation into the church wasn't as long as the average person. Being Khotso's and Ona's best friend and a brother to Shak has worked to my advantage tremendously. So as...
My in-laws are all over my house. Some are cooking even though there is catering here. I've told them, but zero adherence to what I'm saying. Fifi is locked up in a room. Makoti warona bathung. The Maphumulos will be here in the next hour. It is 5am and we are expecting them here at 6am.We hear ululating in the kitchen and people singing aloud.I open the door for Fifi because really, what the fuck? She will be locked...
There is nothing that can make a girl happy and smiling for nothing like some good morning sex. And with Ona, it is so good. It is so explosive. It is clothed in power and characterized with passion. It is wholesome and it is the most filling meal of the day.I hear him moan aloud, tensing up then releasing it all inside of me. I smile at him. He smiles at me then he nibbles on my neck and...
We are having breakfast in the main house with morena, mofomahadi, Thabi, Ona and the kids. Ona came back this morning from Thandeka’s house.Everyone is happy and chatting about. I'm a bit upset. I'm just eating my food and am not engaging in the conversation and laughter."Makoti, is everything okay?" Morena asks me.All eyes are on me now."No, morena. Everything is not okay." I say."Speak your mind so we can hear you, makoti." He says.I take a deep breath...
