Cocktail of BLOB...
So he confirmed his tickets and he's on his way. I am numb. I'm still feeling good, mind you. But just numb at the thought of him coming home right now. I wish I could be ecstatically happy....jumping with joy......but I'm not. I feel like.....meh. I am happy for the kids, tho. They need this. Last Eid was so sorrowful......sad. So I'm glad that he's coming. He'll make them happy. I don't think I'll be talking to him about anything. Will prolly be trying to keep my mouth shut. Maybe just internalize the conflict I'm having.....and see if he'll really try and make some effort towards me. He can do what he wants.....he does it anyways.
After Eid I'm having an ultrasound and the DR told me she'll let me in on what's in my tummy. I've been feeling the baby move lately.....stronger than any other flutterings. SubhanAllah. I've always loved being pregnant.
Funny thing yesterday....Muppets in Space came on MBC 3.....I remember that from my childhood...vaguely...but I remember it. What I didn't remember is in the first few minutes of it beginning....one of the muppets wakes up from a bad dream and tells his buddy...."I was having a really bad dream!" And his friend says..."Was it the one about the goat, the midget and the peanut butter again?" "No, not that one" he says.
The goat, the midget and the peanut butter?
I could let my imagination work around that....but chose not to. I wonder WHAT THE HECK they were implying there? ? ?
Household frenzy going on here. CLEAN UP EVERYONE! That's what we are doing....gotta make perfect before Friday. Well...before Weds really....maid is coming on WEds.....she'll make more than perfect, insha Allah.

So what do you all think? Usually when hubby arrives from Canada, I make Mehsi. Stuffed cabbage, eggplant, zuchinni, grape leaves, pigeons or quails, molokhi......u get the picture. I'm wondering if I should do it this time. Mainly because the second day will be Eid......and that's when we eat Dhabihah. I DON"T KNOW! LOL....get used to me saying IDK...cuz it's gonna be a regular. I say I make it anyways......and I have a duck in the freezer. The big one that I bought on Friday. Second day leftovers eaten with lamb. Right?
Well.....I really am just throwing this post together.....got so much going on thru my mind....and my sorters aren't working at the moment. I could just have easily written...BLOB.....and it would be accurate. Sigh.
Let me go clean.

the goat, the midget and the peanut butter?!!! i have no idea what that is supposed to mean!
Safa, how did you learn to cook? Did you know already before you were married? I have numerous cookbooks on Lebanese food, sometimes my meals work, sometimes they don't.
Probably as much as you try and plan how you are going to act beforehand, what will happen will happen once he arrives. Possibly, knowing men, he will have expectations that you are going to be overjoyed that he is coming and not expect anything more than he gives you...Allahu Alam, all people are different...Stand your ground, but have a good Eid first!

InshaAllah you all have a great Eid. Hope the baby is cooperative during the ultrasound!
I always clean before the cleaning lady comes, you have to. You gotta organize the mess then she can clean.
Yea you should make the big dinner I think.

Insha Allah, I'll make the big dinner. He expects that.
When I married my husband I couldn't cook too well. Unless you count Macaroni and Cheese as cooking...because I could do that. LOL! I burnt a lot of stuff, I had my hubby help me sometimes....but eventually....I caught on. I'm still not the most confident cook when it comes to some things.......all in all....it just takes time.
Gonna work at looking overjoyed. Plan to practice in front of my mirror tonight! MUAHAHAHAHAHA!!!
