Wednesday

[♥JP♥ 5]

Happy Wednesday everyone.....

Taleen kept us up until 5am...she wanted to watch cartoons. She was very happy and playful and had no intention of sleep no matter what we did. At 4am I was making pancakes.

She sounds like Nour! Nour will sit up for hours watching cartoons at 3am having no intention of rest...wide eyed and bushy tailed!

I want some pancakes now!! OMG, I'm addicted to Butter Pecan syrup from IHOP!

Do you have baby's first tv?

No, what is it? We usually have the cartoon network on our something we download from online.

Its a channel we get, its all educational and really cute. They play really calming programs until 3:30am. We pay 5 bucks a month for it on dish network...worth every penny!

That sounds awesome! I have to look into it. We recently played Madagascar for the babies and Zain couldn't stop laughing each time Chris Rock (Zebra) or the monkeys spoke. He was giggling away...

Awwww! I can't wait until Taleen starts laughing....she has a few giggles here and there but not a total laugh yet.

Happy Wednesday - Happy Hump Day - Happy Day Before Thanksgiving!!

and I was up all night with a restless UNhappy baby. Not too sure whats wrong but she is getting a cold and when I got up with her about 3 or 4 to walk around and rock her she farted for like 10 minutes so maybe it was gas. but so far today she seems ok just a really runny nose.

My son gets out of school at noon so we are going to spend the afternoon cooking. Hubby is excited to learn to make an apple pear pie and son and I will do some appetizers and side dishes for tomorrow (not sure how I am going to fit a long nap into all of this but dagnabbit I'll find a way)

Hello everyone (again) Don't know what made me come online again to VJ but here I am. Very kind from everyone the thoughts ... and I just started reading a certain thread about petioners but after page 3 it was too much for me. I feel saddened. I wish I could have posted but it was closed. All I will say is that ... once you walk on the shoes of another, only then will you know what they are going throu. If you break a nail, and make a big fuss about it ... ye your a drama queen ... but if you lose a child, go throu any type of martial difficulty, trauma, heartache or any pain ... ####### I think you are more then entitled to ######, cry, scream, act insane ... whatever it takes. Ye, slipping all your inner-most life online, for all public view only welcomes criticism and more BS ... but why would someone do that? Well, I guess simply to find people, who maybe are in a similar situation ... someone could maybe just maybe understand. Maybe that doesn't make sense to all ... but enchallah does to some. Anyway, that's my ######. From me, I will read and keep reading ... listening to anyting Kat has to dish out. I am far and far ... but that's the least I can do. The touch of a hand, the hug, the shoulder to cry on, the ear to listen is she needs ... and the grace to come for her to overcome this grief.

Kat, sorry I have not been on in a while and/or SMS-ed you but my phone was stolen ... along with all my contact numbers. Enchallah if you could PM me your number again. We have not made it to France ... thou we got the visa for my husband and son. Maybe when we are more stable ... but doctors that I took him to in Alger say he is doing well.

I too, thinking and praying for you these past time. I cannot even imagine what you are going throu. And to top that off rip the scab off the wound ... fixing the tombstone and the upcoming holidays. I pray you will be able to spend them with your family, who care for you. Enchallah even for a moment forget (little) ... Not really sure what happened with your husband (why he is gone) but whatever he did ... he is 100% an a*#. He should getting off his a*# trying to comfort and provide for his family. But you donnot need me to tell you that. All I can do is pray ... he grows up seriously! Maybe you can focus on making this holiday extra special for your children ... maybe this will help them as well as you to 'heal' ... Have you come to the stage of grief where you accept your baby's death? Finally, I wish you the assurance that one day you will allow then find peace of mind and heart.

And BTW I love you toooo! (((HUGS))))

Staashi and Amal, thank you for thinking of me. It is very kind! Also very kind Amal from you to offer fellow VJers your home on Thanksgiving. From my side, Algeria gets lonely during the holidays (American ones as well as Islamic ones ... ye I have my kids and husband ... but not the same this year. Islamic holidays (the Eids) more about the Algerian traditions my in-laws observe ... and my American ones are well zip) So that is why I using this Thanksgiving dinner my friends have organized as way to 'have something of my own' here. Having everything 'Algerian' is getting on my nerves. It has long long lost its interest.

Ok, I will spill my dirt too ... physical I am down. I tried my best to breastfeed but I am not healthy enough to I think. Buying formula and everything conction trying to up my milk is financially killing us. But oh well, we asked for it! To my in-laws I am just spoiled and lazy to breastfeed. Funny, since there is also another woman who gave birth around my time ... who didn't even try ... she is just miskeena. I am lazy LOL!

Doctor in Alger finally told us why the stitches keep ripping everytime I peed LOL! Well cos someone thought it would be funny to give me a few extra stitches more then I needed ... and basically close it all up! Ha-ha-ha haaaaaaa no big chance there will be no more kids! And oh yea, any relationship with my husband too (for a long while) ... LOL that's my dirt!

Karima, your baby's pictures are so cute! Blessings ...

Charles, reading your siggies ... just have to say Congrats! And OMG there will be 2 of you in this world soooooon! LOL! Congrats Papa!

I know better, but for some reason I am back to my let's see who is the worst monster in the world. My poor husband the last time he saw me I had the serial killers bible with me, and he got to listen to all the good stories I have read. I am staying with my mother till my husband gets here, so last night I am watching Ed Gein, you know his story is just disturbing, and my mother knocks on my door, I must of jump 5 feet in the air, and she comes in and says oh there is my daughter insuring she will have a good night of horrific dreams. lol Now when my husband is home, than I can read the really really scary stuff, than I will say to Hesham, did you hear that noise????????????? One of my first patients came in and told me that if someone didn't come and get some dog she has she would kill it, oh wonderful, I am a big animal lover, we called the animal control, so let's hope they go and get the animal, since it is not human we can't do much, she even told me she would put the dog in the middle of the street to get hit by a car. She is mental ill, but with all the cut backs we have to let these people out on the streets, lock your doors you all.

What's going on in India? Are you guys watching this stuff?

http://www.cnn.com/2008/WORLD/asiapcf/11/2...acks/index.html

They are saying near 100 dead, 200 wounded, though the police have only confirmed 30 deaths. They are targeting Americans and Brits, gunmen going person to person looking at the passports
