Missin' you all! :o)It's been really quiet around the Libyan blogs lately... hope every one is doing alright!
After Ramadan, Eid, my best friend's wedding.. every thing now is back to normal, same routine of wake up drive Meral to day care, go to work, pick Meral up, then go home have lunch and sleep.. even tho it's not a good idea I did it for the last week only and I couldn't do what I am supposed to do in the evening cuz the day ends more quickly if I sleep... and things needing to be done left without doing! so as of today no more napping in the afternoon :o)..
By now I was expecting to get the pictures of Meral's birthday party ready..lol but I DIDN'T .. all that because my cam is down and we used my sister-in-law's camera so I have to take the memory card from her and load them to our computer...i am just being lazy eh..:o(
I know it's been a while now.. but I will share them.. I have to for my Sista and Mamma ;o).. the thing is I really enjoyed planning the b/day party, I took Meral out with me when preparing and buying every thing the kids loved the favors ... we had pizzas for dinner.. the kids had lots of fun and played games... duck duck goose (Libyan style), musical chairs.. and other games like dancing silly moves lol.. and I got to show my childish side..lol as I jumped along with them hehhe... so that was it about Meral's birthday!
I am proud of Meral who is coming home with a new Surah, a song or a new alphabet and word every day.. But seriously disciplining a child at 3 and teaching her respect is some work, I am afraid if I screw one time things will be ruined, and then can't fix them :o( but alhamdolilah.. so far every thing is under control... it's just a question of how my reaction should be towards certain behaviours ... I am trying to read as much as I can about parenting issues but still sometimes especially when stressed I don't respond the way I am supposed to.. :o( yallah may Allah help me with this!!!
Other than that we've been doing nothing just hanging there living our every day life... and inshallah try to improve it..

Salam Maysoon,
Napping is gooooooooooooooood. Keep telling yourself that. :-)
What a fun birthday party for Meral, and mabrook to you for allowing yourself to be a kid. I'm not exactly sure when it happens, but somehow we seem to lose that part of ourself. :-(
I know exactly how you feel about the struggles of knowing are you saying, doing, reacting the right way for everything they do. I struggle with that as well. I probably should actually start a counseling fund rather than a college fund.....LOL Anyway, for me, I try to always explain things to Amira, and if I get too upset or maybe overact with her then when things settle down I'll talk with her about it and tell her I'm sorry if I acted inappropriate. I also expect the same from her as well. Again, don't know if it's right or wrong, I just know there were times when I grew up and my mom was way out of line and for prideful reasons never apologized. Seeing other parents do so, made it seem like they were more human to me.
ok ... u gave another reason why I hate winter COZ I CAN'T HAVE A NAP lol..the afternoon is so sooo short ..
as I am surfing ur blog I become so curious to see Meral ,I am holding my breath to watch the birthday pcts, hurry up or I will be suffocated , rabi y7'alehaek ...
IBeeB lol i know napping is good but unfortunately don't have time for it :o(
There you go we can start a discussion group for parenting issues.. :o).. I too try to explain and it works.. even though she developed this thing of asking why for every thing..lol if I say "No" to something she asks why.. and it's her right I guess! :o)
