Nothing much happening today.. sort of a lazy day if you will. Actually yesterday was a little lazy as well. Nothing much to say, nothing much to do,, but I did eat some good dinner tonight though Masha’Allah.

Anyway, just thought I’d give a few words to the public,,,, what do you think about my poem..?

Beyond the breechness of the world she used to know,
becomes the cross of illusion that her breath begins to show.

The endless cycle of vicious hate continues to scroll the scene,
as many wonderouse victims, imagine life as a dream.

Like hope, the day passes. The night calms her cries.
The care she puts to love, holds to all her long goodbyes.

The air screams each silent thought that caress her waking whim,
an innocence that runs freely as a prickly roses stem.

One morning the cock doth crow,
The market places is empty,
of every one you know.

The evening sleeps in danger and the whispers cast their glance.
While all the yearns of caution sight songs of true romance.

A glance promises the whole world a new,
but true times become but laughs of vigores storms once flew.

Her mind reveals these calamities the beginning passion past.
Yet every moment of living, holds what truly doesn’t last.

I couldn’t tell you this before because all the while it was happening I couldn’t log onto this site… But Zahra really got a dose of the imphamise ‘Terrible Twos’ she just turned 19 months on the 23rd and something inside of her must of snapped or unleashed a pretwoyearold monster that I can not begin to explain. She throws these tantrums around like a pare of old dingy socks and they stink!!! I just watch her and walk away but they have grown in intensity.

It’s been about two in a half weeks since it has seriously gone down, and now she has lessoned her spells of terror. I think it was because of this;

At night, ever since her terrible twos began, Zahra turned into a monster that no matter what I did, I could not control nor could I sooth. She kicked me and screamed and hollered wanting me to rock her to sleep yet wanting me to stand until she fell asleep. If I attempted to sit she became angry, I attempted to lay down and sleep while holding her (as I use to be able to do) she broke down and was over come with anger and untaiming emotion. So many a night I ended up just putting her down and laying down myself. I could not sooth her, not please her, and the both of us were driving the other crazy. My husband ended up sleeping, or trying to sleep down stairs away from the noise, but he usually woke me up at about 5 am holding Zahra and telling me he has to get ready for work now. Apparently he took her and was able to sooth her to sleep, but was not aware of it.

Eventually I told my husband I couldn’t handle this routine any more even though it had only been going on for a week ( which is actually a long time with no sleep). I couldn’t take waking up fifteen times and then fighting Zahra to fall back to sleep and going through her anger and rage because I couldn’t help her in the way she wanted me to. So after a bit of research I came to the conclusion of getting her a night light and after a bed time routine laying her in bed and closing the door for her to put her self to sleep. This wasn’t a hard concept to grasp for me at first because I had become so irratated with our sleeping arangement I just wanted her to get away from me at that time of the night. But after night fell on the selected evening, Zahra fell asleep early and we didn’t get to do our nighttime routine. I laid her in the bed and she was asleep just like that… I was happy but after I closed the door and 2am rolled around… it was on.

She cried like life had ending as she new it and it devastated her, I was so overtaken by emotion that finally I gave in and went to her. That night didn’t go well, but finally two nights later we finally did our night time routine which she loves I am sure. And I told her I love her and will see her in the morning Insha’Allah and gave her a bear to sleep with… she looked sad and like she really wanted to run to me and beg me to save her from being alone but… She didn’t and she stayed there and sleep all through the night!

It surprised me in a way that nothing else could, I was so happy and proud of her that I just kissed her and hugged her and told her what a big girl she is… She was happy.. she told me ‘mommy appy appy’

Ever since then she’s been much much better and putting her self to sleep and sleeping nicely through the night.

Masha’Allah thank you ya Allah!!!

The admin of MWS and I have come up with many new things for MWS. We are very excited about it and I am proud of what we have done. She has put together the first MWS Writing contest which is great. Of course I can’t enter but it would be cool if I could.

It’s amazing to me that we have so many members of our society it’s been alive for 5 years now and we have almost 500 members. Wonderful poems and stores, we have articles and biographies and even book reviews as well. We are putting together the works for the first book ever. I have finally come up with the way to compile the works I guess it’s taken me a while to really get ‘pumped up’ about it. But I am now and am ready to roll.

Angela, MWS admin, is great for the job, a little inspiration and watch that girl go, I think we pumped each other up lol that’s good. We seem to see eye to eye on many things and both are really into writing. We are also planning to start a Magazine affiliated with Muslim Writers Society! We have so many project but the first priority is the book. That, I think, is long over due. Insha’Allah it will be nice and worth while… A good way to put our members into the public eye and get their writing out in the open even more… I think they’ll like that, Insha’Allah

Can you believe I have spent the last few days simply trying to log into my own site!!!!!! It wouldn’t accpt my password how crazy is that. All of a sudden it just said one day “your account has expiried” or something along those lines and so I had to reenter my username and password… but then it would accpt it… I was like… umm what in the world. But I reset it you know, had a new password sent to me. But when I tried that it still didn’t work. Finally it worked….I just don’t get it.

So much for me to tell you all, I must I must and I will Insha’Allah, but for now… I’m hungry lol

Well, I have completed the 6th Harry Potter book and now am waiting for the next. A very good book I must say and to everyone thinking about reading it… please do. I did cry… how sad and unfortunate, but it had to be done apparently it just had to be. I actually finished the book two days ago, I just didn’t get around to informing you all.

To all those who have read it, what do you think? Do you agree that it was one of the best books of the series or do you have another different point of view?

Bismillah

I just got home from shopping not too long ago. Zahra is watching Bah Ya Bah and Tavis is “not sleeping” upstairs at his computer lol. I’ve only been able to read Harry for a long period of time at night after Zahra gets to sleep. Before then she loves to see exactly what it is that I am reading by climbing up on me and flipping through or trying to flip through the pages of the book. She loves books Alhamdulillah, now when she wants you to read to her, she brings the book to you and says, ” blah blah blah read” It’s so funny hearing it like she is speaking her own language first then translating it into English. Everytime she says a word before it is in English she always says, ” blah abk eblah” lol

Last night I got to read a lot of Harry and I must say so far it is very good… I wont spoil it for anyone at the moment any way. But I find it very interesting. As a matter of fact, I will go and read it now Insha’Allah, talk to you later.

Bismillah

Well, today is the day Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince officially comes out. Yes I feel the madeness! Guess what I was surprized with in the mail this morning? My very own copy of the next book!! Isn’t that so sweat, my husband completely surprized me, completely I had no idea that he ordered it months in advanced. And on the box the book came in says “Please do not mail until July 16, 2005! I was like man you are the best husband ever!! Masha’Allah, I wanted it but only told him yesterday that I had it on my Amazon wishlist. And asked him to get it for me, then today I was like did you look on my wishlist and he was like no but it doesn’t matter, today is Saturday… I was like but you can still order it, he was like well we’ll see. Can you believe after I had breakfeast made and we were sitting down eating on the floor there was a sound of a package in the mail box. That didn’t surprise me though because he is always buying some books or computer parts or something. As a matter of fact he is waiting on a package anyway so I thought that is what came… To my surprise he pulled out the new Harry book and I was like OH MY GOODNESS ! Masha’Allah.
What a man!

Assalaamu’alaikum,

Guess where we all went today? The Zoo!!! Myself, Zahra and Tammi, my sister in-law, Carl her husband and Jayden and Kindle her two kids. We had a very nice time, I am going to post pictures Insha’Allah. The last time we all went to the Zoo Zahra couldn’t walk… actually I don’t remember if she could walk or not. Either she couldn’t walk or she couldn’t walk very well or well enough to walk around the Zoo for hours. This time she did this that. No stroller today. She did get inside of her cousins stroll now and again when she was drinking or when she was running all over the place and trying to get lost. =-)

I think her favorite animal is the pingwins!!! She was laughing and playing and talking to them. It was so cute.

What is your favorite animal at the Zoo?
