Tension and hope
23.04.2011
Alhumdullilah we are all safe and all those we know are safe too.Subhanullah, it's strange to be experiencing this.Technology is such a great thing to have,but at this point for us,over here,we are witnessing the harm of it.How much trouble can be stirred and how much fear has been placed in the hearts of the people.We ask Allah to keep us safe and all those around us.
Jamals family,one brother and sister are living in an area were things are not good.Alhumdulillah, they are fine but people they know have been hurt.So, for me this is very scary.We have booked our tickets and asking Allah for calm until the kids finish school.All our foreign friends are in the same boat.Leaning on each other for comfort.The women are panicking more than the men(as always).We need to pack the bags!!!!
Well, besides the bad news,we are having a quiet weekend as no going out.A bit bored,have to say.After you sleep all you can and clean what else can one do......The thing I want to do is go shopping and I can't so, those who are women can feel my frustration!!!!
To be honest I have many things to keep me busy but feeling lazy and no motivation.Girls made cheese cake and turned out o.k.
The amount of effort that went in to making that cheese cake,I don't think I want to do it again.
We have two bakers in our house,Fatimah and Alaa.They go head to head to use the kitchen.Even though my kitchen is not small,not enough for two teenage heads.
My dream home needs to have five kitchens one for each girl and probably one for Hamzah too as he loves to cook.If only.
Anyway, that's all for now.Been wanting to sent pics of flowers in my garden.After trying for two years to grow anything,I planted very cheap plants and watered them and when winter came, gave up.Subhunallah,after all that snow and rain my garden has come to life.
So, my next entry will be on my humble garden.
Till then.....
Salaams and requesting for daus.
Salaam glad to hear you are all ok. It is hard when you hear things on the news but dont know if you are close or not. Not to mention the guilt of only caring about my family, when the people getting hurt are someone elses family. May Allah keep everyone safe and strong and may there be a positive end soon inshallah.
So when are you coming I need to put it in my diary!
Salaams to everyone.
