I'm on the right track....hope I stay on it!
It's 3:30 am here...what's wrong with me??? I woke up for my emergency bathroom visit.....sometimes I don't think I'll make it...LOL!! And I feel SO AWAKE! Jeez. I only went to bed at midnight!
Well, today I ate lots of salad. Tuna salad, green salad and cucumbers and cheese. For dinner I had two pieces of pizza. Blood sugars stable. Alhamdulillah.
I went for a walk. 30 mins with my 10 yr old. OMG.....did we ever laugh. She wanted to tell me something about Cda....but couldn't figure out how to word it. So she says to me....what's the name of the president of Cda. And I'm like....well, we don't have a president.......and the head guy has changed since we lived there.....sorry....can't seem to remember his name.....
So she says...well..is it okay if I call him Stupid then? HAHA! I look at her....and say....well...maybe you should call him Mr. Stupid.
Isn't she so funny? HAHA! Turns out that she thinks Mr. Stupid oughtta change a few things. LOL! She's lived in Egypt since she was 4!! LOL!
So then we are walking passed this nice looking villa....and when we stopped to admire it...a guard dog starts barking. We hid behind a bush....put everytime we peeked at the villa....the dog would bark again. I told my daughter...they should hang up a sign....NO LOOKING! She collapsed in giggles!!
It was a good walk, alhamdulillah....with excellent conversation for a 10 yr old.
I had one contraction while walking. Seems like the walking WILL make a difference!

Still washing laundry.....SIGH! Can't beat the smell of the clothes when they are hanging on the line tho. I LOVE DOWNEY!

My oldest bought dinner for us yesterday. She ordered pizza hut. Isn't that nice? Cost her a pretty penny too. I slipped her $40....and said thanks. That covered about 1/2 the price. She's sweet! Masha Allah.

Mashallah, how beautifull.
I cant wait for my 5 yr old to get to that stage where we can do things like that. She's very smart for her age - and yes, like yours comes out with the most weirdest conversations that has me in stitches!!! (but i cant show it because that really annoys her, and if i slip up and show her that i'm laughing - she gets even more annoyed!)
eg can a tomotoe lay an egg? Ans: no
can an apple lay an egg? Ans: no
can a girl lay an egg?Ans:.........no
can a man lay an egg? Ans: (by this time i cant hold it in anymore)NO!!
Enjoy these golden moments!!

Stephen Harper is the PM of Canada - FYI - lol. Mr. Stupid is very appropriate though. Keep up the walking - it is great for you and the renter - and it is a great time to bond with whoever goes with you. Awesome that your eldest 'bought' supper - sounds like mine in Canada - I remember those times - such cherished memories. Take care, keep strong, keep the faith and do not let go of your vision.

AsSalaamu Alaikum,
Safa, I'm sending thoughts of greens and proteins your way!!!! EAT MELOKHIEH!!! Enjoy these last days of pregnancy with your daughters, insha'Allah, keep up the good work and cling ever closer to Allah!
Question: if it turns out that your current vision comes to pass, will you stay in Egypt?
Hugs,
Juwayriah

AsSalaamu Alaikum,
Yani, if after your husband's visit and/or your forty days you wind up ending your marriage, will you stay in Egypt?
J.
PS I may be visiting Egypt later this summer! I'll let you know if our plans go through, insha'Allah!

wa alaykumus salaam.....OHHHH....I understand NOW!!! LOLOL!!
First of all, I'd like to reconfirm that whatever plan that I may have...that ALLAH's plan is definately better. SubhanAllah.
But loosely, what I'm thinking....after the 40 days....should hubby still be married and have no idea of his next visit....I will be leaving Egypt. Forever or just for the summer? Well, that part is in Allah's hands. I'll have to figure that out when I get there. It depends how things will play out....
I don't expect him to be tickled about me up and leaving.....and who knows what his reaction will be? If I go to him or to my mothers....again....all that has yet to come forth.
But like I said...I do know that after the 40 days....it's either he's here or I'm there. No compromises.
Let me know anyways if your coming....we'd HAVE to meet, insha Allah!!

Assalamu Aleikum wa Rahmatulahi wa Baraaktuhu,
I love your plan. Egypt is not going to disappear anytime soon (wa Allahu Alim) so you leaving to Canada does not have to be a lifetime decision, but I think it is a good one. Without your husband around, it would be nice to have your mom around. Also, think of it this way, your other kids got to live in Canada when they were little too, right? So your son should have the same "experience" of living in different countries too.
I think that his other wife is thinking "out of sight, out of mind". But whether or not you stay married, he should be a part of your children's lives. I think it is a cop-out when men think they can have kids and then the mom does all the rearing. Then, they can act as if they are "single". Yay, right.
If he is in a polygynous marriage, it should feel that way. Two wives, two families. I wouldn't call your husband's "polygynous experience" having two wives, I would call it "dividing wifes" . He has one when he needs to be in Canada, and one when he needs to be in Egypt. The one in the "western country with immorality" doesn't get to have his kids, only the one that lives in the "Muslim country". So to appease his guilt at not being a present role-model.
That's the way I see it.
YOu may go back to Egypt one day, if you love it, insha'allah. But please don't plan so ahead of time. Take the steps you need to for your life, one day at a time. I think going to Canada is a great idea. Wherever your marriage goes should be irrelevant of your physical abode (Canada or Egypt).
Well, insha'Allah, the birth will be easy for you. I can't wait to see pics of the little one!
I hope you will post when your husband is there. I can't wait 21 days until his visit is over to figure out what happened. The suspense will kill me!
LOL
