Happy 7th anniversary!!

so...last Friday was our 7th anniversary!!! yup i can't believe it has been 7 years...ughhh i feel so freakn old saying that! hehe....any way ofcourse we couldn't celebrate it on Friday because of Ammmar's work, so we celebrated the next day. Both Ammar and I came home late that day.

When ammar came home, he greeted me with a big smile and a bokeh of Flowers. They are beautiful and they smell really good....i put them in a vase next to my bed..so when i wana go to sleep i see them and when i woke up i see them :)

Then we were suppose to go out for dinner but it was already late to find any babysitter so we had the dinner as a family:) it was nice alhamdulilah!

Since last year we didn't really celebrate anything...on our 6th anniversary we were apart. I was in Saudi visiting my family and he was here alone...then on my birthday..my mom and brother were here...and i don't know why we didn't do anything!! hmm so i have to say that i was kinda expecting something special this year. Ammar mentioned to me that maybe we can do something Sunday night just for both of us, so when i finished my class..i couldn't wait to go home and see what he has planned for both of us, but when i went home he was still in bed! and time passed without any signs of plans!! so i have to say i got really pissed and i really needed to get out of the house...so by 5 or 6pm, i told him that i wana go to the beach...he didn't seem to be very excited..so i told him fine..I'm taking zaido with me! But then we all went together lol...Ammar took his book with him! and i just relaxed and zaido had lots of fun. But i was still pissed lol.

the next day while i was watching something, oh ya by the way we got another TV, so i came across this quote that says (We don't stop playing because we grow older, we grow older because we stop playing).
I'm not sure who said that...but it really is true! and it explained exactly how i was feeling!!
who wants to get old!...and year after year..it is so easy for any married couples to lose the romance hmm not lose,but its kinda harder to have the effort...the husband is tired, the mommy is tired, babys. school...etc life sometime is very stressful....but we need to always remember to play and take a break...and times like anniversary, birthdays....are really good times for us to have fun...and they are not suppose to be a stressful times! i know some men get so stressed out during this time becaus they don't know what to do or what to plan...but for some reason it wasn't so hard during the engagment days;))
Any way, so to myself and anyone who is reading, remember, " we don't stop playing cus we go older, but we go older cus we stop playing"...

from lobna who dosen't wana feel old :)

am i too sensitive?

So alhamdulilah this week was good and fun...just relaxing and spending time with the most beautiful son in this whole world:) Alhamdulilah alhamdulilah, alhamdulilah ya Allah laka alhamdu 3ala kol shy'a you gave me and my family. ya Allah don't ever make me forget to say alhamdulilah...

this boy just makes me so happy, I'm really glad we are spending everyday together...and not leaving him in the day care! it's just a good feeling...i love him and miss him...habeby..it's like I'm realizing now how much i'm missing when i go to school...ahhhh can't wait to finish school at the same time i'm gona miss it;)

so Saturday we had this masjid picnic..it was fun, i finished school, went grocery shopping, then drove directly to the park where Ammar was waiting for me to take care of zaido. Ammar as usual was in charge of the food! and he did a good job...but this whole thing is making me feel really mad...this whole job theng...im not gona go furthure...i just can't wait for my husband to finish his PHD and leave! May Allah give you strength habeby....may Allah bless you with something that you deserve!

AHHHThen on Sunday, i had the big dinner for the newlyweds. There was around 16 adults and 9 kids mashallah!! everything went smoothly alhamdulilah and im still eating from the left overs food lol. Usually after every big dinner,ammar and i go to bed with a big smile on our faces...but not this time. I was so happy until this tiny thing happened...when we started getting those bunch of phone calls! they kinda made me feel annoyed i have to say... i'm just praying this small thenge wouldn't change somebody's heart toward us. This is the last thing that we wanted to happen!

am i being too sensitive?! I am confused. I feel weird writing about it...but i just wana get it off my chest ba'aa!

2 OoOpsy for the day!

Loong time..no post! no specific reason for that other than..i don't feel like writing these days...some days i feel like this whole blogging thenge is becoming too old...and some days i just feel like writing because of Zaido. Like what he did today for example:)

So today after i filled the bath tube with water and put his toys and stuff, i went to the bedroom where i can hear him and be close to him while i was checking some stuff on line. After few minutes, i went back to see him and wow, he found something new to play with;) The boy decided to open the shampoo bottle and spell ALL of it....! I have to say it looked fun..all the bubbles..hehe. But i knew immediately that i have to clean this mess fast OR.........and before i finished my thought, what i was thinking about happened! The boy put his hand on his eyes and WALA ....he started crying with pain! I opened the water and started cleaning his face and hands and alhamdulilah....he didn't cry that much. I wrapped him with the towel and playing time was over after I tried to explain to him that the shampoo bottle makes "wawa" pointing to the empty bottle in the trash.

Then after many hours....we were downstairs playing, eating....etc. Again, I went upstairs to read...usually Zaid follows me.....and he did....then he went downstairs by himself to play!! i was like good..i can read now. But after like 10 minutes i got this funny feeling....cus i know he is playing but I'm not really hearing any noises! he is too quite HMMM i'm suspicious now... and again before i finish my thoughts....i see zaido all of the sudden coming inside the bedroom holding his favorite thing (The Tea Pot) which was felled with COLD water....and his clothes were all wet! I was like OH MY GOD what did u do now!!!! i took the thenge from his hand and ran downstairs to find that he actually has opened the refrigerator, took out the apple juice, took out the cold bottle of water and basically the boy was having a "tea party"!! the carpet was a little wet of course...but not too much...But it was so obvious that he was having the time of his life:) just that look on his face when he came to me=) he was happy and was talking and talking like he was trying to tell me come and see mama... how much fun is that lol...

hey i don't balm him..the weather is too hot now days;) I Love my Zaidooo...he makes me smile everyday..alhamduliah..i'm very very blessed.... ya rab don't make me ever forget to say ALHAMDULILAH always make me from 3ebadak al shakreen ya Allah. Ameen. For now, the kitchen gate is back;))

On another note, we have been living with no TV for like 3 weeks now. The one we had was bad..and we put it in a garage sale...and Ammar is suppose to bring another one from his friend who is moving for good. But i have to say I'm REALLY surprised that I'm actually loving my life without it!! seriously..it is so different...i can actually do more stuff around the house...did i mention that I'm actually READING a book that has nothing to do with school;) I still have "youtube" but hey i never thought of watching a lecture for example! today i listened to a lecture for Suhaib Webb!!! and I'm listening to good stuff on Islamonline.net too!

i mean really...i feel like i have the power to pick and choose whenever I want...of course you can pick and choose from the TV too but come on..we only pick and choose from a movie to another movie..etc right;) plus you can't choose the time of the movies!!

The other really good thing that I'm loving is the big space that i have in my living room now. And the most important part is the extra time that ammar and i spending together!we are talking people lol!! i never felt how much TV does take from your time!! even hubby..he started reading more..i mean the last 2 days, he actually sat on the office room to read from his books that has been sitting there for a while!!

I'm trying to convince Ammar, but I'm not sure..he keeps telling me that the guy keeps calling him to come and pick his TV:(

Any way, Alhamdulilah my in laws are back today...it's really different without them around us here..alhamdulilah i'm glad they're back safe. I still have my classes sat, sun morning....then on Sunday we invited some friends over for dinner to celebrate with the newlyweds Tarik & Marwa ;)

I'm really excited about it..i hope everything will go smoothly inshallah:)

And We are Back to School!

And we are back to school again!! subhanallah...i finished my last exam on Tuesday and alhamdulilah i did fine..but when i checked my grad i was really confused because i thought i knew all the answers for sure! but my grad was not complete!! so i checked my e mail and i found a message from the teacher telling me that there was a problem in my exam!! HUMMM he said that i didn't flip the page to answer the rest of the questions!!! i answered the 50 questions and there was like 80 questions on the exam!! I KNOW how did that happen!! i was really surprised, he didn't even mention that during the exam!! any way, the teacher was really really nice and he told me that he graded my paper according to the 50 questions and i still got an "A" YAY alhamdulilah!

So, I've been just relaxing since then....we had a wedding on Thursday and it was very nice mashallah. My sister in law's brother got my married to a girl who i met in Canada in a camp five years a go! subhanallah what a small world!! They were very cute mashallah.

This morning i started my 3rd class of summer school...yup I'll be going to class every Saturday and Sunday morning from 8 am-12. Ahhh it's too early...but alhamdulilah Ammar is babysitting Zaido so that's good.

I just came from the masjid, they were having an entertainment night by" ABU RATIB" =) mashallah Abu Ratib is one of the most known monshed in the Arab world, and last ramadan he was one of the judges on the Sharja TV channel for the Muslim version of "star academy" ;))

mashallah he is very talented with a very beautiful voice mashallah! he reminds me of my childhood, we use to list to him alot. Also, tomorrow we are gona see him a gain inshallah in a picnic..it should be fun.

Oh, and i wana say Alf Mabroook to my friend who had her baby on Thursday. Mashallah Raghad had a baby girl....and mabrook to the new Aunty Fatoooosh;) she is gona be the coolest khaleh ever;)

better go to sleep now...another class tomorrow.

PEACE!

Finals with a sick baby!

So, yesterday Zaido woke up with a high fever...and was feeling sick and tired the entire day:( i was so worried about him and already overwhelmed because of my finals. Even in the middle of the night he was burning but alhamdulilah he is better now.

But there is this thing that is bothering me alot. Why all the kids medicine like Tylenol and Motrin are all in small bottle ha?? i mean when the kids get sick they need to use it every 4 hours, and when u do, the bottle is almost empty! That means every parent should make sure of having like a storage of these medicines!! because you will never know when colds, fevers, coughs... are gona visit you! So i was just wondering does anyone know if there is a specific reason why they make them in small quantities so ur sis can stop being mad?

Any way, so taking care of my little sick bobo and studying was and still something hard. When Ammar comes home, he take charge of zaido, (you know after ignoring him for few minutes, just to make sure that i'm not gona respond to him first) At this time, I run to my secret place where i''ve been studying lately..a place where no one can find me lol.

Remember when zaido slept inside his closet :D

Yup, just imagine me sitting there with my book reading;) Well, Ammar did find me but it is soo funny when zaido notices that i'm no longer around! He walks upstairs first because this is when he last have seen me;) so he walks calling "mama mama, then asking his dad..."weena mama" where is mama?? then he goes downstairs and around the house looking for me in the kitchen, bathrooms...etc The funniest part is when he dose come inside his room but never bother to look inside his closet:), and doesn't even bother coming all the way inside the room=) you can imagine the feeling of sitting there.. crunching myself and trying so hard not to laugh LoL he is sooo cute!

This morning i studied this way too while Ammar kept him busy until he left the house around noon. Zaido is doing much better than yesterday alhamdulilah but he is alittle cranky and couldn't take his nap:(

Tomorrow is the final, i hope everything will be ok inshallah....then another final on Tuseday and i'll be done with the fisrt session of summer school so keep me in your duaa :)

* ok it's almsot 11pm and Zaido just wake up with a burning body again:( inshallah khyr ya rab. im not sure if its because the shot he got on Tus or what?! please keep him in your duaa Allah yshfeely habeby zaido..:( ameen

Update: ok so when Ammar went to buy the medecine...he found out that zaido is big boy now and dosent have to take the infant dropps anymore lol, he can take the one from age 2-11 now.

I know DUAAA!=)
