Haven’t posted in a while

Bismillahi Rahmani Rahim

Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullah / Hi

It’s been a while since I’ve posted. It’s not like I haven’t been writing… I post to my FaceBook page, I Tweet on Twitter, and I chat a lot on Second Life. But I’ve been a bit in a daze lately. Sometimes my brain goes on vapor lock and I can’t put my thoughts together in a coherent fashion. In such instances, the brief twitter entry is about as much as I can manage.

Taking care of the kids, cooking, cleaning – or avoiding cleaning. Helping hubby with the expanding eBay, giving advice to new Muslims. All that takes mental energy and I’ve been in a down cycle. InshAllah things are getting better now that the baby is a bit more independent, though as I write this she is standing at my knee screaming her little head off.

Schedule: Nurse baby, put chicken in oven after hacking it into pieces, make rice, tidy up house, find time for Second Life. That’s my afternoon. Also have to throw some laundry in, give kids a bath, and take Abdel Hamid to Qur’an class. Gonna be a busy day
