been busy...

I have been busy this past week, with my husband leaving for his trip and me trying trying to get the house all cleaned up before I go to jersey. My husband left friday night it's weird but I miss him. I'll be alone with the kids, for a week before we go. Insha Allah may Allah give me the strength to survive the week.

I am trying to potty train my 2 yr old son. It's really really hard with my oldest it was easy, she learnt in 2 weeks. I can get to use the bathroom for 1 but not for 2. Which sucks coz' it's a bigger mess for me to clean up. EWW!! I know.


My 6 yr. old is a bubbly friendly girl. I am currently homeschooling her and so she doesn't get much interaction with other kids her age as she would if she went school. Everyday I take her to our masjid for quran class, which she loves coz she's with other kids. The only problem is the kids are a bunch of brats. They are quite rude and mean. When she went for the 1st time to quran class, she tried to make friends, she asked a girl what her name was and the girl gave a dirty look and said why do you want to know. My daughter just stared at her. She didn't know what to say. We went an ameen party and as soon we came home she started crying and said she has no friends. It broke my heart cause I know that she one of the sweetest little girls I know. Kids these days are so mean. I just hope this doesn't crush her self esteem. Masha Allah she's such a smart and bright girl. It's a shame kids are to blind to to see it. A girl once told my daughter she was ugly and my daughter told her your a muslim and I'm a muslim, and we were created by Allah and Allah makes all things that are beautiful. I was awestruck , I was so happy that she had the courage to stand up to that bully.
BTW- that girl after hearing that said okay your not ugly.

Alhamdulillah...u found my blog....I love meeting new ppl. Funny enough...we have some similarities...I have a mother I just CANNOT stand up to....and a husband that I have a hard time voicing things too as well. It's taken the uprooting of the foundation of our marriage for me to finally get some ability. And u know what? It sucks.

Communicate NOW...start NOW...you need to say ur piece and not bottle it inside. It sometimes heals and sometimes festers.

For the first time since FOREVER...I can't even remember when...I think for the first time since I was 16.....I stood up to my mom. Not even two weeks ago. I'm 35!!!! And u know what? It felt good.

Being a good muslim does not mean you have NO opinion. I'm working on voicing mine...in the most acceptable manner of course.....

I'll be over here often!

Your 6 yr old sounds like a darling...good for her for making the bully eat her words!
