So what week is this of the academic semester? The third, I believe. And how long has Aiman been going to daycare? Hmm, I would say two days. Yeah. Exactly two days, and that was during the first week of school. So where, oh where, has Aiman been?
Let’s rewind to two weeks ago when I [...]

Too Much For A Tuesday
So yesterday was Tuesday, January 19, also known as BACK TO SCHOOOOOOOOOOL DAAAAAAAAYY!
Woo-hoo!
I am so lovin’ this semester and really, really excited to go back after such a long break; for me, the break was practically two moths long because my classes ended so early. Anyways, I’m one of those people who genuinely loves being [...]

Save Your Pity
I was at a parenting seminar sort of thing this afternoon and let me tell you, I was a little nervous about going because Aiman had napped for only an hour, so I wasn’t sure how or if he was going to be cranky. Thankfully he was his chipper self the whole time so I [...]

And This Is Why I’m Coffee Dependent
Last night was pretty hellacious. I don’t know what had gotten into Aiman, maybe he was still pumped from the party we at earlier in the day, but the kid was waking up every. single. hour. all night.
We left the party and he fell asleep on the car ride home, like I hoped he would. [...]

The Age of Change
I’m not looking forward to the next couple of weeks because our little family is going to embark on so much change (such big, big change), that I literally ball up in anxiety and “aksmiuwnjibr!”-ness thinking about it. That was a full blown spaz attack, by the way.
Most of it I’m not ready to talk [...]

When Eating Is Risky
How do you get your child to eat table food without him puking his guts out?
That’s the million dollar question right now because Aiman doesn’t seem to keep anything down! Well, more accurately, he doesn’t keep any “real food” down, but does fine with pureed baby food. But when you’re trying to eat and a [...]

Nightma[re]eality
Maybe it’s because I’m a young first time mom without years and years of life experience, enough at least, to give me the wisdom I need for this gig, because good God motherhood can be incredibly straining on all fronts -emotionally, physically, mentally, you name it.
And that’s easily the understatement of the year.
It’s easier to [...]

I’m Over, Overtiredness
Note: I wrote this as if it just happened because for me, it did. But by the time you’re reading this, it was the night before. It’s the timing. Read on. You’ll see what I mean. Why did I even mention this? It’s not important. Ignore this bit of grey print.
Good God, tonight was one [...]

E.R.,Take Three
I cannot believe that Aiman went to the hospital again. This isn’t the first or second time, it’s the THIRD freakin’ time in one month!
October is not our favorite month right now…
The short version in bullets -
Tuesday night he woke up screaming and crying again
It lasted for over an hour and his temperature increased
When he was inconsolable we realized that he [...]

E.R. Take Two
This past Saturday we found ourselves in the Emergency Room for the second time in the last two weeks. Aiman was the reason for this visit as well.
In the afternoon he was himself, happy and playful with occasional bursts of hilarious attitude. We were also expecting company to come over and see him. Really, nowadays, [...]
