late night blogging!

*sigH* i have a cold...again! and i had just started to bounce back..... gotten my energy..... had started workin...n working out.....blah! and now i'll be darn weak again.....

oh well! at least i caught it in time this time and am tryin to avoid anti biotics! and to think i had thought of a diet for myself......

Yumna's learned my secon bro's name as well... so now she's pretty good at every one's names... mine, her dad's .... both grand mas... (dadi is grandma on father's side, while nani is gran on mum's side in our lingo) she says grand pa too....she knows most of her cousins' names..... all in all.... she's catchin pretty fast....

hey...any one have any idea how to earn quick, fast cash?

this mnth we recieved water tax as well as property tax notice....so all our savings went into that. (ofcourse our income tax is deducted every month be4 Fawad's salary reaches us!) taxes suck! lol! and i had saved for a cool couch i saw.... so now I'm totally nil as far as cash goes....

Yap Yap Yap...

Gosh, it is late... 3 in the morning actually....or maybe one should say, rather early. LOL! I had a few mails to write so i had to wait for Yumna to go to sleep. Would u beieve she sleeps after 12!! no matter what time i put her to bed she falls asleep after 12! Hmmph!
Well, all done with 'em formal letters, Thank God.
What is it that I hear abt a world wide strike on the 3rd of March? If all the muslims are participating, count me in!
What else? my hubby's going to his company's annual dinner Friday night- no guests alloweed...i dont believe it! Annual dinners are supposed to be events where spouses are allowed, no?
yap yap yap....lol! there I go!
G'night....... *yAwN*
hmmm....
LOL

the way to my heart!!

Its funny...once u r a mom there are quite a few ways around ur heart.... one of the easiest ways is to praise ur kids.... lol
Ever since this person i disliked commented that Yumna is by far the smartest kid he's met...well..... 4 the life of me, i can't seem to remember y i disliked him so.... and when i do try to remember, all i can come up with are stuff he's said and done which make him a much better, kinder, sweeter person than i thought he was.... hmm....
it turns out my brother dislikes him too..... maybe once he has kids.....
lol

we lost....so at least that proves it wasnt fixed!!

but... *sob* we lost the !#%^#@ series!!! 3-1!!

of fixed matches....

Watching the cricket match…Pakistan Vs India at the moment…guess who’s losing? Pakistan!! But of course my husband claims we will win. I am crazy about cricket. C-R-A-Z-Y!! Big time!
Recently though, it has started depressing me. My husband claims that the matches are all decided before hand. Ah, another four! We just might make it through!! As I was saying, my hubby claims they are fixed…. He knows someone who knows the bookies…. And well…. Since these matches are being held in Pakistan, that guy knows who will win before the match. Do I believe him? I am not so sure. I like to think of my players as honest people. I mean, what will be left to cricket if both the teams sit and decide who will win what math and how!! Almost like they are actually playing to entertain the world…. Like the wrestling thing… and NO, I am not crazy about wrestling.
Hmm….seems to me these two batsmen are settling down.
Okay, enough about cricket. Yumna just had fries and bit of soft drink. So much for my being strict and not allowing my kids to drink these fizzy drinks… ah well…as long as it’s in control….. her eating is so much better now Alhamdulillah….
I think that’s enough for now…. I’ll watch the match for now…. Fixed or not…. The batting is great at the moment….and…ouch! stop it Yumna….I’m getting off…honest! Tc:/

Of....erm....worms!!

After wondering, pondering and fretting over what might be wrong with Yumna my cleaning lady told me, “My, look at her stomach, she has worms, I tell you.”
Right!
I paid no heed.
Yumna got worse. No eating, not even taking milk. I tried to force her and she’d throw up. And of course the insistent cleaning lady.
So I took her to her doctor and asked her opinion. After doing a checkup and asking a few questions, like whether she was restless during the night….y-es; and whether she had any nappy rashes….well, she develops rashes real quickly but always take action as soon as I see any hint of rashes so I don’t let those develop…but yeah, she seems prone to rashes.
I was given medication for her. For intestinal worms as well as better digestion! But….worms? according to her doctor, all yumna had to do was come in contact with some other kid who had worms and….! So that means ……what? How am I supposed to make sure the kids she meets in my living area, parks, malls….. don’t have intestinal worms?! Whoa!
Sure enough, I gave her the one time medicine for worms at night and in the morning, after she passed stool, her stomach size was back to normal and she was even hungry!!
Her appetite is not what it used to be but I know it will take time….and I am trying to be patient…. Playing train, ring o ring o roses etc…. what ever it takes to pass her time!!
But……..worms?!?!
