Jellymill: when will you be done with school? I remember how horrible it is to separate, it's emotionally draining...just keep busy, it will all pass and before you know it you'll be looking back at these days insha Allah.




Zakk: erm..don't answer the door?! how can you be that nice when you're wondering if you're having contractions?! get the kids to go crazy and drive them out or something? Insha Allah hope it goes smoothly and swiftly(literally insha Allah) , ameen

Thanks zzze, it's nice to have someone that really understands cuz it's hard to explain to people the reason I sometimes feel sad and indifferent. At times like now, right after he leaves it's the worst...seems the only remedies are either sleep or keeping busy with errands, homework and sometimes friends (not the ones that like to ask 'so aren't you sad?'...of course!). As for school I have one year + one semester left inshallah. We're hoping he gets a new location where he would only be gone 6 weeks, then home 3 weeks, gone 6 weeks.. etc. That would def be better than 3 months gone/4 weeks here.

EDIT: he's online! He got there alright! alhamdulillah

They came over to chill with my mother in law. Whom I have not let know that I am having contractions or bloody show because she is just too melodramatic to handle it.

My in laws like it when my kids go crazy, they think it's cute. They especially love to bug Haneef.

Anyway, it was okay, they left after 4 hours. And I pretty much ignored my mother in laws hints about tea and let her make it because I was just so tired. And then my husband came home and was just lovely about making sure his mom took out dinner and fed the kids while I took a shower and lay down

I'm still having contractions, but I'm ignoring them until they get more intense or closer together.

(4 hours? ) You're about to burst, Zakk, and you're using the evil smiley after saying that you ignored ur mils tea hints?! mashaAllah, may Allah swt reward you with jannah, ameen. Alhamdulilah for your husband!

I'm excited for you I think your husband should have a word with people, say you're goign to need space, time and rest for the next few weeks(months). insha Allah khair

[Laimuun]

wow zakk, mashAllah. you have a lot more patience than I would've in that situation.

and duas your way!!

[silvermalaikah]

aww jelly, hope you feel better soon.

and zakk, duas for you too!

I've never gone to a salon to have waxing done. I just do it myself. but I know some of my friends go to a desi salon and they don't exfoliate or anything. they just start waxing, lol.
i'm sure you could call the salon and ask them though.

I'm really stupid and immature. I find it hard to believe that making bad grades isn't the end of the world. It's like I can't think outside of the box. I feel like school is the only important thing in my life.

[thejellymill]

Zakk, I agree with Laimuun and Zzze, mashallah your patience is amazing. I like Zzze's advice, I'd try to make it clear to everyone asap that you're gonna need some space and drastic decrease in stress levels for the next several months .

Praying in the masjid is amazing alhamdulillah. I got back from class and went there (late) for maghrib. They were having an MSA potluck and just praying and listening to the muffled sounds of people talking and laughing made me feel better... although on my way out I still half expected my husband to pop out of the men's prayer area, grin, hold up the car keys and say, "let's go!" Of course that didn't happen and someone might as well have stabbed me in the heart... *sigh* I'm so lame. I apologize for going on and on, I wouldnt even mind if people didnt read this. I just need a place to vent my thoughts/feelings, I dont mean to complain inshallah.

Subhanallah this is true test of patience and I don't know why it's so much harder this time (compared to just a few months ago when he left).
