The Hair Cut!

WoW, it has been a while....well I've been just busy with summer school.. from one exam to the other...today i got the result for my third exam on Abnormal Personality and I'm not happy with it...Monday is the final and i really need to work hard on that one....this is a very hard class and trying to smack my head with this type of information is hard to do in only six week summer classe...i wish i knew before....but it's too late now....i can only study and pray now AHHH!

My second class, thank God, is very very easy alhamdulilah...not just easy..it was a joy....i really loved this class and the teacher who was very cool. The final is on Tuesday! and with that I'll be done with the first session of summer school. YUP starting from next week I'm going to be taking one more class which is on Saturday and Sunday morning and Ammar will be taking care of Zaido:) I hope everything will go smoothly inshallah.

Speaking of Zaido, on Saturday we took him to a hair salon and he had his first real new hair cut:) and BOY what an experience that was!! you can see from the pic the boy wasn't so happy lol, because before we left the house i was waiting for him to take his nap but he wouldn't take it. It was like 3pm already and we wanted to go to the beach afterward, so we just decided to go! Everyone including my sisters have told me that he look older now and i agree! I think next time i'm not gona go this short again... i really really miss his hair, even the lady at the day care told me that! In fact i think zaido also misses his hair..cus today after i took a shower he came to me and started playing with my hair and making it go round and round on his little finger, then he pulled my hair and was trying to put it on his head!!! it was kinda sad and funny at the same time...awww i do miss the curly hair.

Also, on Tuesday morning we had an appointment with his pediatrician..i wanted her to see zaido cus we haven't been there for a while and i just wanted to make sure everything is fine with his wight, height...etc Alhamdulilah everything was fine but to my surprise it was time for him to take another shot, and they took some blood too! i wasn't really prepared for that. Thank God Ammar was with me and was holding him while crying...whew it was hard to watch again! but alhamdulah i'm glad we went just to make sure that he is healthy and all. Alhamdulilah, health is such a big blissing that we take for granted, so ALHAMDULILAH.

and now i should go study...ahhhhh, dose school ever end, i really need BIG time break.

wish me luck!

Study or Candy?!!

Another exam tomorrow and i can't focus for some reason...i thought chocolate can help! please pray for me:(

Fun Weekend, Summer school, and Zaid

I have been busy with summer school...i finished my first test in Abnormal Psychology on Wednesday and i'm waiting for my grad. We studied about some theories and basically an introduction about what makes a behavior to be considered abnormal, symptoms, treatments....and after the test we studies our first abnormal behavior "Anxiety Disorders". It is very interesting to learn about those things as there is different types of them. For example, there is "Fear" which is almost biologically based alarm respond to a dangerous or life threatening situation, Then there is "Anxiety" which is fearing something about the future, feeling powerless while becoming hypervigilant. Then we have "Panic Disorder" which last for 10 minutes...like sweating, shortening of breath, fast heart beat...and the "Panic Disorder" itself has different types too!! like the unexpected ones, situationally bound, and situationally predisposed. Then we have "Social phobia", "Obsessive- Compulsive Disorder", and "Acute Stress Disorder".. etc

And here is the bad news: among adults, women are more likely to develop disorders than men, and among children, boys are more likely to have them than girls!!

I have to say those are very interesting topics, but for me I'd like to only read them not to be tested on them;) i'm not so enthusiastic about this class also because it starts at 8am which means i have to wake up earlier to drop zaido at the day care. I hate to wake him from his sleep. The second thing that i don't like about this class is the teacher's way of lecturing where she only reads from the book! can you imagine sitting in a chair for 3 and a half hours knowing that all the info is from the book!! I'm gona go home and read the book anyway!! but it's ok..it's summer school and it's going to be over fast. wow i can't believe that we are in our 3rd week already subhanallah...

Hmm what els, last Friday there was a fun day at the masjid for the student of Al-Huda School and it was very nice mashallah. They brought some animals: horses, rabbits, lamps, chickens, ducks, and this wall thenge so the kids can climb it, food, face painting which i liked doing;))

And they also brought "Noor Group" to perform there nice songs and they were good mashallah.

Then Saturday we had the yearly Blood Drive event again in the masjid with the Umma Clinic. This time i also donated some of my "khafeef" blood lol, only this time i got dizzy afterward! they made me relax, drink some juice, and eat then i was fine like a horse alhamdulilah. I asked the nurse how long should a person wait to be able to donate again, she said around 6 months, but for people like me she said once a year is enough!

About zaido he is doing good alhamdulilah going to the day care and enjoying playing with the kids. It's so cool when i knock at the door to drop him off...some of the kids run to see who is it outside the door, trying to look from the small glass window, and when they know it's Zaid they all scream Zaido zaido zaidoooo..and the other kids run to the door too to see him:) wallai they make my day:) how nice is it to know that your son is loved...alhamdulilah. when the sister open the door..she laughs..very popular kid lol. Allah y7meek ya zaido...may Allah keeps you surrounded with good, loving people. May Allah bless us and our kids with clean hearts and good manners. Allahuma kama a7santa khalky, fa a7sen kholoky.
