fathers don't get as much love as mothers

I am in Dubai until after I give birth enshallah, so staying at my parents house brings out a lot of emotions and thoughts to me

for example, being back here makes me feel like i am 18 again! my parents still treat me the way they used before i got married, I am not allowed to eat chocolate or junk food, no staying up late and i must wake up in the morning :S

i love it nonetheless, i don't necessarily follow their rules but i love it

last night my mom and sisters went to Ajman for a family dinner, I felt heavy and didn't join them. so I stayed with my father and elder sister at home. we were having dinner at my father's tv room/office and we watched movies, talked about everything and joked.

a thought suddenly hit me

i love my father!

i never admitted this before because i never felt that way before. my memories of my father as I was growing up were negative and cruel. I hated the way he "controlled" us, forbid us from being free and making me wear the 7ijab! my relationship with him was very official, I only spoke to him when I wanted something. I don't remember hugging him for no reason like i did with my mom, or sitting with him and talk about anything, or even missing him when he is gone.

my father was (and somehow still) a strict military man, he raised us to be like him but we rebelled against it and caused a drift that lasted for years. we never thought that he did whatever he was doing to protect us from people's judgment and Allah's wrath. this all became clear when I got engaged.

my husband told me that he asked around about me and everyone said the same, "Mashallah banat 3li are respectful, decent and unlike other girls. they are well educated and well behaved", he told me that he loved how I was the only one wearing the 7ijab in the family dinner he was attending. it surprised me, I thought guys steered clear from girls wearing 7ijab!

my two younger sisters are complaining about how they don't get as much freedom as girls in their age group, it makes me laugh when they do that, I tell them they will realize why our father does this by the time they get married.

el7mdellah that my father didn't let me hang out late with my friends
el7mdellah my father made me wear the 7ijab
el7mdellah my father yelled at me when I defied his orders
el7mdellah my father was strict with me as i grew up
el7mdellah my father took away some of my so called freedom
allah ye5aleek for us baba, i love you

a little project to cheer myself up

I was inspired by this site http://www.igotanenvelope.com to participate and maybe come up with a different idea but with the same concept, leaving something personal somewhere and see what happens when people find it

I once wrote my name and date and address on a 10 Dirhams note, and used to pay for something, can't remember what exactly and I am still waiting for it to come back to me :P that was almost 10 years ago

if you have an idea let me know, we can start something that would last for years and people will talk about, or it will end up dead after ten minutes :P elmohem we know we started something different

the ZOMBIES are coming!!!!!!

a few weeks ago I posted this on my FB status,
"What if all the people who were infected with the Swine Flu turn into ZOMBIES?"
a lot of people liked the idea and thought of it as funny, but not me. I was serious, what if they really turned into zombies?!

anyone who knows me, know that I love zombie movies, I could watch them all day and I hate missing the ones showing at the cinemas

but after I watch the movies, I start thinking about them. What if all those movies are a warning to us, that zombies will invade us and start eating us. I think about how will I save 7amoody! where will i keep him safe away from flesh eating zombies. how will I get supplies of food and pampers if I ran out of them, how will I keep 7amoody's noise down so the zombies won't hear him. I spend months planning and plotting and I even talked to my husband about it. I am planning to build a panic room in my house enshallah

so what would you do if zombies attacked us?

here and there

highlights of my life so far...

+ my sister gave birth to an adorable little baby girl :D I am a second time aunt and omg i love that little angel, mabrook fa6ooommmyyy and hisshaaaam :D tetraba fe 3ezkom enshallah

+ I went for my monthly scan and omg, I am going to have a girl :D my eyes teared up when the doctor told me, I wanted to hug her! she is healthy and perfect and that is all that matters

+ I am in the middle of finishing up my business plan, oh yeah, didn't I tell you? I am planning to start a business from home enshallah. since i am going to take care of two babies, I won't be able to work so my husband suggested that I start working from home and he's going to pay for everything -how cool is that? lol-. more details enshallah later

+ FINALLY my husband succumbed to my nagging and we spent the weekend at a hotel, to change el jaw lol. we stayed for two nights are Burj Al Arab with his family -bleh- but I got to go to their spa and get pampered so it wasn't all bad :D

I will leave you with some pictures
