So it’s been almost a week since Saad left for school and it’s just now starting to really hit me that he won’t be walking through the door in time for dinner or that I won’t find him snuggled in the sheets with Aiman when I go upstairs. I made it 5 days ignoring that [...]

I, the Career Hobo
Lately I’ve been running around campus getting last minute petitions and forms filled out for this department and dropping them off at that department, OH! and please don’t forget to update my standing at this office and transfer these files to that office, all in the name of graduating next May.

Sunlight Therapy
Friday began like any other Friday, lazy and slow. I don’t do anything “productive” on my designated day off but enjoy the day chillin’ like a villain’ with my baby boy. Sa’ad usually heads out to run his various errands so Aiman and I are usually home all day because Big Man (Saad) has the [...]

The Amira-can Revolution
It began with:
“… I never thought about a career outside of medicine and honestly, nothing really interests me as such either.”

100 Things You Didn’t Ask About, Part 1
Not that you asked, but here’s a list of random and somewhat organized details about little ol’ me. Not that it’s extremely awesome stuff to know, but I insist that you do just because I want to inflate my ego and talk about myself.

Me, Myself, and I
Last Spring I did not realize how incredibly suffocated I was until this Fall.
Last Spring I spent most of my time at home, caring for my newborn during the day and doing my school work throughout the night with online classes. Spending so much time at home forced me to turn inward, and in a [...]

The Fever
Uh oh, I feel it coming back.
I’m talkin’ bout the baby fever. Or really, my baby fever.
Also known as my irrational and unwarranted obsession to have a baby -NOW!
For three years, after my husband and I got married, all I thought about was having a baby. NEED. BABY. NOW sorta thing. I would have amazingly realistic [...]

Wanted: BFF
Dammit, I hate being lonely.
I’ve always been socially awkward from time to time, and okay perhaps more times than not, but it’s reached an all time high since motherhood. I blame it on my knack for being stuck in the middle and really, I’m just tired of that crap now.
What do I mean by in [...]
