Middle East and North AfricaWhere do I shop for 28x34 size pants for my husband?
Kamal is like 29x30. Since he has gotton here he has discovered thrift stores and rummage sales. He won't buy anything brand new (drives me crazy). And thats where we have found alot of his pants and shorts. You can also try the boys husky section of stores.

Ooooooooh, can I come for milk and cookies - OMG that sounds so good.

Terrie - I love Panera. Especially their cinnamon crunch bagel with hazelnut cream cheese. A few months ago when I had to go to DC there was a Panera next to my hotel - I was in hog heaven....literally, I was a little piggie with the bagels and I have the carb pudge to prove it. headbonk.gif



I ate so much, and really 1/2 sandwich and 1/2 salad doesn't seem like much, but i was stuffed. I can't wait to take him back. Thats like a treat, us eating out.

Ummmmmmmm Jackie they sound gooddddddddd!!!!! Kamal and i went shopping for a lamp to complete (well almost) the new bedroom furniture. Makes me so mad that everything we like was so outragiously priced. I don't know where to go from here. Its a nice day here, not to hot and not to cool. I'm so tired from shopping. We had a wonderful lunch at Panera Bread tho. It was kamal's first time. And he loved it. Another good place to go eat for us.

But business is so slow and she isn't making enough money to make her bills. i was so worried about Kamal's reaction and surprisingly enough he was supportive, told me not to worry, we'd be ok.

Middle East and North AfricaHow do you enjoy your hubby while you're stressing about everything else you're doing?
QUOTE (caybee @ Aug 27 2008, 12:09 PM) <{POST_SNAPBACK}>
One very simple thing has helped us on those days when things are overwhelming, and that is to plan a time to get away together, even for a picnic for a couple of hours, anything away from other people, the house (which can feel like prison to a grounded new immigrant) and the stressors of day-to-day life. Once, we put a couple of folding chairs at the edge of the lake, and just held hands and put our feet in the water for an hour or so. We didn't even talk that much -- well, until hubby told me that no it WASN'T a turtle's head, yes it WAS a snake, and I better get myself up out of that lake this second before he dragged me out... Um, but aside from that, just being outside and quiet together for a while makes all the difference in the world for us. And it doesn't cost anything.

I really feel for you because I know how the life and mind clutter can really stress a person out. I hope that the two of you find a peaceful space together, away from well-meaning family and everything else, so you can work on that bond between you that will help you through.

You learn to let go ... realise something called the God is leading you ... the path you are on is where you should be ... and everything that comes with hardship is worth it in the end! Good luck and do some mediation!



Medication, meditation, mediation...it's all good...
