Sometimes Ahmed just does not have very good parenting sense... Last night Dahlia was crying herself into a puking fit so I put a basin under her mouth for her to puke into. Ahmed came in snd decided to try to distract her by THROWING HER IN THE AIR then putting her on his shoulders. She proceeded to vomit from a height of 6+ feet. So now instead ( Read more... ) -

It has been brought to my attention that I have dropped off the face of the Earth to anyone who isn't on Facebook. Sorry, but FB has been so convenient! I miss the days when I had time to write more than 150 characters at a time. And fortunately, most of my LJ friends have helped me out tremendously by using FB as well. :) Anyway ( Read more... ) -

I have spent the last three days at the Oregon State Hospital for the mentally ill. NO, not as a patient, though I think some of the people there are more sane than I am.

Abigail had a blast seeing all the animals up close, and playing with the kids, and running around like ( Read more... ) -

Abigail, Ahmed and I just got home from going "for a relaxing walk" around downtown Cairo. This [i]relaxing[/i] walk included walking 20 minutes through the bazaar to reach the Metro, 20 minutes on a stinky muggy subway, eating shwarma at a stand-up-and-eat cafe, going to Abd for cookies and ice cream only to discover they were out of ice cream, ( Read more... ) -
Paging Dr. LJ
If I were in the US right now, I would hit up my OBGYN, but since I am out of the country, I have to depend on google and LJ. I'm pretty sure they are more reliable than Egyptian doctors, anyway ( Read more... ) -
