My birthday came & went...a very quiet, cool, grey day, countered with the noisy,warm & cuddly company of the family. Had a nice cosy breakfast date with the hubby while waiting for the kids to finish off their last day of school. Of course the husband had a series of plans (I assumed) but it was quickly made to be adjusted as we were requested to attend a tahlil arwah of his late aunt which passed away a week ago. At least I get to eat my Spicy Miso while the kids get to enjoy their waffle with ice-cream before all of us went to perform our obligatory duties as good children & grandchildren to the in-laws. But I have to say I am not in a position to complain or whine as I am always reminded how blessed I already am looking around the people I love around me & little tokens of love glittering in the palms of my hands & fingers.
My LomoArt class also finally ended on Tuesday. While fun, it was always physically & emotionally draining after entertaining 80 10 yr olds for 5 hours each day. But the end results is always so satisfying. Looking at all their pictures laid out & composed to form their sea creatures did gave me a smile on my face.At least I know my work is accomplished.
On Wednesday I did a little parent volunteer work for Amira's school as they had their K2 graduation & concert followed by our monthly Muslimah meeting at night to go through & preparing our committee plans for the rest of the year. Pretty excited to get some of those plans on track considering how low-profile we have been for the past few months.
Now that the holidays have officially started I feel like I so need a vacation. But I doubt its remotely possible as I foresee the husband would be very busy working, taking advantage of the opportunities that he was given which Alhamdulillah I must say is working quite well for him. Somehow he always seem to always figure things out & make it work for him in whatever situation placed before him. I am not too proud to say that the same can be said about me. I suppose thats why God placed him in my life:) Of course it was not always easy for him, there were numerous challenges that he was confronted with & I saw him a little less than composed during those occasions. But give him a few days to figure things out & all was well again.
So its time again to get the list of things to do for the holidays to keep them kids occupied...& me less stressed...
