You are right Maureen...the time is flying by. We will be removing conditions
next month!!

Mornin' Maureen and Judy!!

Beautful Sunday morning to all! Wow, we have a few low hanging clouds!! Still is a gorgeous morning here. Wonder when we will get out of the 100's! Bakin' is for pies....not humans yes.gif

Wael is bogged down in homework. He has his act together, very organized, so should do
well in his assignments. What a patient man!

Judy, sorry to hear your mom isn't doing well. rose.gif

GG, ohhh sweetie, flying is the greatest!! Do you try to find landmarks? Just let yourself
go and have a great time on your flight! Relax!

Jess, you're trrip is right around the corner also! How exciting for you and Josh!

Jackie, have a wonderful day off!

Hi Rosie!

Mornin' Nagi, so happy you had a good time!

To everyone else, have a great day. Enjoy!

Good morning! Happy Monday to everyone. Might have a chance of some rain today! Always
exciting to hear!

Sandra, sorry to hear they extended your husbands military time. What a bummer!! From
what I hear Egypt is famous for doing that. Wael was fortunate to only have been on a
waiting list for 3 yrs. With his degree in Accounting the military didn't need anymore accountants,
so he was finally "free".

Do hope everyone has a wonderful day! Take care!

Middle East and North AfricaMixed Religions
I am Catholic and Wael is Muslim. We have had no problems or issues with each others religions..

I am with him during Ramadan and he is with me during Christmas and other Christian hoidays.

I do believe knowledge is the greatest gift we have when it comes to religion. He respects my
views as I do his. We have a happy medium in this respect.

Evening everyone! Hope your day was a good one!

Wael is off to class. I'm just gonna chill out and watch the clouds gather. Will dance for rain. laughing.gif

Wish we could attend the fun with everyone in Vegas. We certainly would go if
Wael didn't have papers due. We are like ships that pass in the night now. He
loves his classes and professors and is doing very well.

Think I will make some popcorn and watch a movie.

Wow I think I just heard THUNDER!!!!!!!!!! How exciting and I didn't have to dance!!

Take care and have a wonderful relaxing evening.

Congrats Maureen!!! That's an awesome surprise!!

Tammy, happy you had a good time with everyone. Saw some of the pics on fb!!

We don't have much planned for the weekend. I have some shopping to do and Wael will
peer out from his laptop every so often to wave to me while doing papers.

I made Tacos last night for dinner. They were really horrible. Have no idea what went wrong
except kept thinking of the "pink taco and puffy taco". Was so hard to concentrate on a "plain"
taco. Oh well, we ate them...I complained and Wael smiled. laughing.gif

Sure hope everyone has a great weekend! Take care, have fun and be careful!!

Morning ladies!! Hoping to get some advice from the mommies. Since school started and I put my 10 year old back in his room, he has been having an AWFUL time sleeping. He falls to sleep then wakes up a couple hours later frantic cause he thinks he won't get back to sleep again. Eventually he ends up back in bed with me so we BOTH can get some sleep. I have tried everything from being sensitive to his feelings to getting downright nasty with him. Nothing is working. Yesterday I had a big talk with him and told him if this continues I will start taking away his xbox and other priveleges. Last night I heard him get up and my 14 year old daughter was trying to calm him. He was crying. Eventually he got in bed with me again. I am ready to pull my hair out if this doesn't change soon!!!


Maybe there is something else that's bothering him and preventing him from sleeping and/or making him anxious? Maybe you can transition him to a sleeping bag on your bedroom floor, and then back to his bed?


good.gif the pallet on the floor (they say) works wonders. He's still "with you" but learning to sleep without you right beside him. I wish you all the luck in the world with this issue!

Jackie, I have 2 of the white ones left. Another lady called and said she had a cat that looks like the little dark gray one. She said she had him for years and he got old and sick and she had to put her baby to sleep. She was excited to find one that looks like her cat. She is coming this afternoon to pick him up.

These are the little kittehs.
