A rocket ship to Mars
An "old fashioned" rocket
Jaws offering: lots of faces of me
And more
The eyebrows have worn off. Thomas looks constantly surprised
Lots of train track building, garden play, drawing and planet investigation and moon watching.
I feel like a total failure, am confused and lost, don't know which side is up and basically feel like a complete loser. Had a massive HE freak out on top of that last week and it basically all boils down to the fact that I feel overwhelmed at the prospect of looking after *myself*, and yet I have all these other people who depend on me too and I'm taking them down bit by bit. I don't do life very well.

How perfect You are O Allah, and I praise You.
I bear witness that none has the right to be worshipped except You.
I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.’

(((hugs))) I get overwhelmed and really struggle. Deep breath, do soemthing you need to enjoy, you realise that others out there find you inspiring don't you?
((hugs)) because I think you need them.
Thanks Amanda. No I don't know that and maybe if they see me and see how I forget to brush my hair for a week and how we all live on badly made food, how the bathroom needs cleaned and how miserable we all are then perhaps they wouldn't.
Yes I need them. I really do.
qalballah,
May Allah give you lots of rewards. It is hard sometimes. It's happen to me also, especially when we got a time when our hormone go totally crazy. Especially I got 4. Boys always hard to look after. But from my experience..they getting easier in the near future to look after. Sometimes I fell like shout and scream very loud. When it's got too much on you, just put them in the safe place and take your time out for 5/ 10 minutes. Let them cry or scream..Sometimes you just need that.We all here for you..Insya Allah.
Jazakillah. It would be unfair to blame the kids for my downward spiral. I'm just crap at life.
Hey, hang in there! I brush my hair, but my daughter doesn't brush hers! LOL.
It DOES get easier as they get older. My spirited 7 y/o was a spirited 2 y/o and THAT was ... well, it's water under the bridge now.
Nobody's crap at life ... Sorry I can't think of more encouraging things to say, I got up early for work and I need more coffee.
The nuclear family isn't quite fit for rearing kids properly. We all need lots of aunties and uncles and gramps and grannies and cousins around. So weary parents get a break once in a while.
Y'all ARE inspiring!
Oh I'm pleased that you don't brush your hair either.
I'm going to mail you.
Amanda
I agree whole heartedly with donald up there.
I was about to say what a wonderful job you are doing & that "I was crap at life". Must be something in the air at the moment I think.
It'll turn around though & it will all be worth it again.
'Cause, like you know, it never really isn't...Xxx
PS, Now if I could get myself to take my own advice?!? ;)
Assalamu alaykum dearest sister Qalballah. YOU DO LIFE VERY WELL!
Mash'Allah sis, everytime I read your blog you just make me feel so much up to homeschool...after reading I just feel too happy.
You really are inspiring!
May Allah reward you.Amin
Mash'Allah on you and family all.
Please keep it up.
You are a star babe. A major star. Don't you ever forget it either x
