Ages and ages...

Well, its been ages since my last post... I dunno.. Its hard to get into anything right now... life seems to just take over and I'm left without much time for this... I need to get back on track though... I've been exercising but its not enough... I need to do more... seems I'm never doing enough... very frustrating that is :( Oh well, maybe I will do better and see more results soon... I've gotta stop being such a lazy bum I guess...

Winding down...

Well, its finally the last ten nights of Ramadan... It is sad that this beautiful month will soon be over and we will have to wait another year to enjoy it again :( Things have been a bit crazy around here lately. My youngest boy got really sick earlier this week and was throwing up too much, we ended up taking him to the emergency room where he was admitted and given fluids via IV due to his severe dehydration... poor thing! He had to get poked and prodded with needles and he was so pitiful :( But, alhamdulillah, he is better now :) He lost a bit of weight though and is slowly regaining it... I hope he will be back to normal soon... he's my baby... Other than that we are all doing well... My older son had another bout of asthma so we are still getting over that but he is much better, masha'Allah. I've been doing alright as far as my eating is concerned... that is good... I've been trying to only eat my dinner and then one snack before bed... it seems to be working... apart from being exhausted from lack of sleep, I think I've been feeling alot better these days too ;)
Well, I hope to be able to resist all the temptations of the up coming eid... hmmm... we'll see!

Word of the day...

Angst...
I have seen this word alot lately and I like to have different ways of expressing myself so instead of saying dread or apprehension... we have this new gem of a word... angst... if someone is 'angsty'... they are brooding... although 'angsty' is actually a made up form of this word :) I just looked up angsty and it is actually the adjective form of angst... wonder why the spell check doesn't know it???
enjoy :)

Month of restraint...

Yeah, I've been tryin' to restrain myself this Ramadan and try to eat less... it seems to be working, masha'Allah! Im working out more... when Im not suffering migraines though... its going pretty good... Im managing not to over eat... although I did have a moment of weakness last night when I cut myself a really big piece of cake... thankfully my hubby noticed and gave me 'the look'... so needless to say... that guilted me into having a much more reasonable sized piece of cake :) Man, I really wish that I could just have total restraint sometimes... I hate feelin' weak and out of control... I guess that everyone does... weather its about food or some other thing that bothers them... we all like to feel like we can manage on our own... without others help... but what I should realize is that having others to help is actually a blessing and I should never take that for granted... I love my hubby even when I get 'the look' :)
Thanks to my sweet... lovable... annoying... hubby... I was really blessed when I got you :)

Noodle House...

Last night was amazing... Masha'Allah! My hubby took me out to dinner for iftar and we went to Noodle House... it was very good, masha'Allah! That place is really beautiful... I thoroughly enjoyed myself. Ramadan is going well, masha'Allah... I've been fighting with migraines though... not fun... its kinda difficult to get over a migraine while fasting... may Allah make it easier for me... ahmeen.
