A crazy day

Yesterday was a very crazy day. Don't know how else to describe it. The plan was to come to lagos for a friend's traditional wedding and drop my daughter off with the MIL(mother-in-law). Was ready and the kids were in the car and realized my keys were nowhere to be found. like joke like joke I started looking for the key o. Hmmmmm. It wasn`t funny. Brought out all the luggage and scattered the whole house. Raised all the beds, checked the toilet, the children's playpen. emptied the bin on the floor and searched it. No luck. I called the bank to ask for the spare key as I gotten to the point of running mad. I was told that the spare key was in Lagos. After a while started suspecting the maid as she had a funny reaction when I first asked her about the key and she was the one who carried the luggage into the car.
Called the husband to come pick me after hours of begging he came. After transferring all the luggage told the maid to just sweep and we head out just for her to tell me she found it when she was sweeping.
Was ready to move on. Got into the car and kai, it didn't start. The kids had left the inner lights on and the battery had run down. The husband had to change battery.
We eventually started the journey about 6 hours after I was supposed to leave. Missed the traditional wedding sadly.
