You know a lousy housewife when she forgets the tap running until water flows out to the floor and you know a clumsy housewife when she forgets the food on the stove until it burns.
Update on what baby baby can say now:
1. ‘Ay shay’ = do I need to explain that.
2. ‘Gada’ = lunch.
3. ‘Asha’ = dinner.
4. Teresa = his babysitter.
5. ‘Baab’ = door.
6. ‘Ha maam’ = toilet.
7. Ali = his cousin.
8. ‘Kakaw’ = refers to chocolates and all candies.
I needed a few things from Ikea and Rami missed the turn and so we drove a little more to check if there was a next turn to the mall, there was no other one! We had to get back on the highway. It even took us ages to reach the next junction which took us to a roundabout back to the other side of the 5th ring road. To keep a long story short, advice to the Avenue’s mall, wouldn’t it be easier for everyone if you opened a few more turns to get in?
There’s so much happy things going on at work but I can’t help feel a little bit depressed. I don’t feel like sharing my brother’s illness with any of my workmates just yet, I don’t see a reason why to worry everyone else.
I haven’t been focusing on anything else, I’ve been daydreaming day and night. If I sleep I’d wake up with a nightmare. Yesterday my brother gave us a call from Minnesota. I felt quite happy to hear his weak voice again.
Sad Wednesday followed by a sad Thursday. I don’t know how to begin, I’m so overwhelmed with sadness and my heart is aching really bad. Today I went to the airport to take a last glimpse of him before he leaves for I don’t know how long. I prayed for him and I pray for a miracle to happen. I love you, please tell me all this is a joke. Allah Kareem.
I’m not so excited about my baby’s new acquired habit of opening doors without even knocking lol. I don’t have any privacy anymore.
I had a fantastic time in Sharm El-Sheikh. It felt good to actually be baby-free for 4 nights. I stayed at Jolly Ville Movenpick and I made sure to try everything there is to try before I left. I did some parasailing, horseriding, snorkeling, little tanning in the balcony, shopping in Khaleej Na’ama and many more fun stuff.
I attended Tamer Hosni’s supposedly free concert on our first day there, though we ended paying around 2 kd to get in but it rocked.
I saw a puppet dance show followed by Tito, a male belly dancer who danced better than any lady dancer there is. I watched a whirling dervish performing his twirling dance, they’re also called Rowanda. It was cool.
I ate lots and lots of grilled shrimps at Safsafa, the best seafood restaurant in Sharm for only 50 Egyptian pounds. I drank the best turkish coffee and even had my fortune told for free.
I asked a taxi driver why most taxi drivers never hit the breaks when they see people crossing the road he said most of them didn’t understand the pedestrian signs, I thought that was a lame excuse to run people over.
I found it extremely inconvenient to have walk pavements half a metre high from the ground, it made it so difficult for us to climb them up and down. I don’t understand why they were build so high up?
All in all, I had a hard time leaving Sharm and Sharm had a hard time parting us that our flight was delayed several hours by the dust storm in Kuwait. I made friends with everyone in the airport, people everywhere were so much friendly and easy going. So peaceful.
The following song will show everyone how much it left a great impact on me.
Last week was pretty awkward for me just as much as this week and I expect more in the coming weeks. So many not so good events are going on, things are escalating at a fast pace that I can’t quite get a grip of things well enough. I can’t explain things right now. I feel that I’m so ready to burst but I prayed so much for the worst to pass inshallah.
Tomorrow I’m leaving to Egypt on a 5 day training course and coming back Wednesday evening. My initial plan was to take my baby and husband with me but my husband couldn’t get a week off and he thought it wasn’t such a good idea to take the baby after all. So I’ve convinced my sister to come along with me to keep me company and make my hubby happy.
Got to go finish packing.
