Bombarded....

I've been missing my blog lately. I used to have so much free time to sit and write at my hearts content.....but lately I've been juggling so many things, its hard to even find private time when I'm in the bathroom......loool!! My brain has been working non-stop trying to figure things out.......I'm going to share with you a few of the majors and share a little chuckle with you about a few of the minors........(they aren't in any particular order....)

WORK
-------

I'm part of the set up crew and have been given a lot of responsibilities......it is a plus for me because they have also given me extra hours......but working also means figuring out the babysitting schedule and preparing things ahead of time....its exhausting and really....it's also liberating....

MOVING
----------

Woohoo! I'm moving! I've found a gorgeous house that is bike riding distance from where I am now...(I know because I biked it!) It's a 4 + 2 bedroom which means that Mom is still coming....this basement is better suited to her and my brother. The upstairs is a beautiful 4 bedroom with two living rooms and a solarium. The owner is nice and he's fixing up the house to be just perfect when I move in. (I promise pics later) And with such joy, it seems only fitting that there should be a downside.....well yes, there is. My present landlord has informed me that he will not be giving me back my last month's rent. He said that I had to give him 60 days written notice and therefore can't have it. (I only gave him a week's notice, so I thought he'd give me back my money) So suddenly I'm out $1850! Where on earth is a mother of 5 children supposed to come up with that?? I've been after every gov't agency that I can, and have managed to round up $800 of that loss......I've aske d the masjid to help me out so I just have to wait the next few days to see what will happen with them......I don't expect much....

The best thing about the new house is that its still in the same school zones......nothing really changeds for the kids social lives, which is really still so fresh and new.....

SURGERY
-----------

Abdu is having surgery. He was born with a condition called Hypospadius which I haven't told many of you. He has it very mildly, (another gift from the ex's genes) so the surgery shouldn't be all that difficult. The gov't will pay for the basic cost of this surgery and I'll be paying the extras. I've tried texting the ex to inform him about it, and perhaps to have him help with the costs....but well, you can imagine......no comment from his side.

WORKING AT THE BANK
----------------------------

So I went into my bank to apply for a visa and when I was in the office with the lady, she basically offers me a job....wow!! Offers to be my personal reference and then goes into how beautiful she thinks I am. She particularly mentioned my cheekbones, eyes and full lips. Errrrrmmmm....... It made more than a little uncomfortable.....but when I stood up to leave, I put out my hand to shake hers....she held my hand, came around her side of the desk and then guess what she did? She hugged me. I'm still shocked by it.....

YOSRA
--------

Many of you know that I had a friendship with her. But after knowing her very well, I've backed off. Her blog is all about islamic dawah, but in the background she is very different. She always has at least 3 men on the net, and a couple of others locally......she has sent men to my emails asking questions about her and trying to use me as a reference.....I always warn them away and become shocked and disgusted at the stories they tell me. More than once, Yosra and I have butt heads over her behaviour and her holier-than-thou way she comes across. So she caught me online recently and I held it no longer and told her exactly what I thought of her and the way she wears her hijab to all but cover and hide her from the haraam she commits.....she said I had no right to judge her and that she's trying. When I said to her, it feels good to tell you how I feel, she responded....so does pooping and I don't need your shit. GONE! I said bye and clicked her off. BEWARE of her, ok? Many of us have been a part of her little games, and you know who you are.......I just want my 100 readers to know as well....... Islam deserves to be represented in a better manner......

(and I don't care who tells her I posted this......part of my duty as a muslim is to warn others of hypocrites....so here it is!)

GETTING LOST
-----------------

Ya....LOOOL! I know exactly where I'm going, but lately my sense of direction is horrible......I need a GPS!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

So there is the update.....I've been spending every day running after pennies, appt's and my work schedule....fighting off lesbians and most of the time, losing the way!!

HELP!!!!

Hope everyone is well......we move next weekend...(I'm hoping)....I'll post pics of the new house.....
